"Ezra" for little boy?

[Bluebella]

Hi!

What are your thoughts on the name "Ezra" for a little boy?

What kind of impressions do you get from this name?

Thank you!

The only one I have known was female

LOVE it.......stunning name, I am considering it myself. It is a boys name from the bible...anyone who uses it for a girl is just wrong!

There was an Ezra in DDs class. DD was talking about Ezra and my assumed from the name that he was a girl. But that probably says more about my mum than anything else!

Unusual and very nice. Can't imagine a girl Ezra.

I love it. Bit too 'out there' for DH though or it'd definitely be on the shortlist for DS2!

Really like it.

I have an Ezra! Fantastic name, I'm hoping he lives up to it's meaning of helper! :)

love it. Quite deep south American overtones, but in a good way. I can imagine him being a Very Cool teenager!

Its

Beautiful choice.
I know one who is dark, handsome, has a ponytail and a general aura of untouchable coolness. That's what the name reminds me of now.

I really like it!

Love it - sounds and looks nice written too.

Love it,I know a little Ezra,and if I didn't,it'd be on my list!

I've only ever come across it as the name of a character in one of the Kate Daniels (Ilona Andrews) novels. It's Kate's aunt's name in the book (but then her aunt has been alive through many milennia and was mistaken as a man in all the fables, according to the story - hence it being a woman with a 'man's' name. )

Of course that's all fiction. :)

I think it's quite nice. Certainly very easy for the little 'un to learn to write when they get to that age.

Love it! Had dc2 been a boy it would have been a contender. DH wasn't keen mind you.

Not so keen. Reminds me of poet Ezra Pound who was a fascinating character but ultimately Nazi sympathiser.

Ezra Chater from Stoppard's Arcadia! Love Ezra!

If DD wasnt Esmé it would be a contender for any future DS (along side Enzo)

My only association would be Pound. Never met an Ezra but I like it! I love most biblical names tbh.

I blooming well love it.

It's my nephew's name, so I am somewhat biased though.

Haven't heard the name before, but the ending in 'a' would suggest to me that its a girl's name.

Love it.
