I really like them both. Not helpful, sorry!

sublimecorpse · 12/01/2014 18:08

Ezra, Arlo looks and sounds incomplete to me. No idea why!

MoreSkyThanWeNeed · 12/01/2014 18:12

Both gorgeous - slightly prefer Arlo.

Rhubarbgarden · 12/01/2014 18:35

Neither, sorry.

overmydeadbody · 12/01/2014 18:36

Arlo

Ezra just seems to feminine for a boy's name to me. I don't like it.

DessieLou · 12/01/2014 18:36

I've always loved Ezra so that gets my vote!

ViviDeBeauvoir · 12/01/2014 18:40

I like both but Ezra sounds feminine to me too.

Jinty16 · 12/01/2014 18:51

Ezra

MollyBerry · 12/01/2014 18:53

I prefer Arlo even though I normally like z in names

Puffykins · 12/01/2014 18:53

Ezra.

98percentchocolate · 12/01/2014 18:56

I love Arlo!

DitsyDonkey · 12/01/2014 18:57

It's interesting that people see Ezra as being feminine....it must be the a ending!

I have to say I love both equally, and when weighing them up, both names have as many pros as cons!

Arlo. Definitely.

niknak888 · 12/01/2014 19:03

Ezra, great name!

redsquareyellowsquare · 12/01/2014 19:17

Love them both but I think Arlo is bit too trendy atm, so would vote Ezra

Alisvolatpropiis · 12/01/2014 19:19

Ezra.

Rollermum · 12/01/2014 19:22

Ezra is fab.

Squeakybeaky · 12/01/2014 19:23

I like this post. I have an Arlo and if I have another boy Ezra is on the list! So I vote for both of them :0)

DitsyDonkey · 12/01/2014 19:26

Oh squeakybeaky, do you get good reactions to his name? Arlo and Ezra would make a FANTASTIC sibset!

YouLoveItDoreen · 12/01/2014 19:29

Ezra gets my vote!

Bakerof3pudsxx · 12/01/2014 19:29

Arlo

Another saying Ezra seems female

Squeakybeaky · 12/01/2014 19:29

Um I've had a few blank looks when I've said his name and a few usual 'how do you spell that' but overall reaction has been good. I love it and I think that's all that counts really.

Rosencrantz · 12/01/2014 20:20

Ezra because of Ezra Chater. Love Tom Stoppard.

MavisGrind · 12/01/2014 20:22

I have an Arlo (waves at Squeakybeaky )and always get a good reaction. I didn't realise it was popular (certainly isn't here!)

Squeakybeaky · 12/01/2014 21:02

Hi Mavis, don't think it is popular but is getting a little more popular. :( I love it!
