Esau

[LemonLovesLilac]

What do you think of this for a ds? Do you know any...if so what reactions do they get to it? Are there a number of ways to pronounce it and which is the correct pronounciation?? Thanks.

I would pronounce it EE-saw. Don't know any. I like biblical names but this is a bit so for me.

Ee-sah

I like it.

I saw Esau sitting on a seesaw
I saw Esau. E saw me.

Sorry, couldn't resist that.

Snap ! juneau but I know it as...

I saw Esau , sitting on a seesaw ,
How many Esses in that !

Sorry LemonLovesLilac I don't like it .
but it's not my baby , so you decide

Can't actually remember the details but Esau wasn't nice was he? Bit like Cain in the sibling wars IIRC.

How many Esses in that !

Oh yes! I'd forgotten that bit. The answer, of course is none!

Also, in the Bible Jacob was a smooth man and Esau was a hairy man. I don't think I could call a child Esau, bearing that in mind. Not really a fan of hirsuteness

I thought exactly the same as Juneau :)

Nice name though, I like it!

Sounds like a donkey noise. Awful.

I quite like it. Would pronounce it Ee-saw.

Or how about Eli, Elias, Elliot, Ezekiel, Ethan, Ezra?

Ee-saw. Not to my taste. Ezra is better IMO

I really like it. Never heard it before. Nything wrong with a bit of hairiness.

I've never heard the rhyme, I would have said Ees-ow. There's always one I like it but I think he would have to spend a lot of time correcting/spelling.

I would pronounce it ee-saw

The hairy thing puts me off (have got a ridiculous phobia of hairy backs on males ).

Esau was the hairy one, wasnt he?

Not a fan of hairy blokes so it's a no from me!

I would say Ees-ow, since I've met one and thats what he said.

Don't like it though.
