Considering this for our baby due in 6 weeks - I don't know any little Ezra's in our area , so nothing to compare it to . Are there many/ any where you live and do you like it ?thanks

Don't know any, think it's great.

Really love it. My BIL like is considering calling his DS that, but he's not very religious so I think he was slightly put off by the religious background to it. I think it's great though.

The only Ezra I know is an elderly man, and he is lovely! I think it's a fab name.

I like it, trying to persuade DP that it can go on our boys list.

NightsOfGethsemane · 02/05/2015 14:32

I like it.

I know a 5 year old Ezra and the name really suits him.

Monstersinthegarden · 02/05/2015 14:43

I like it.
There is one in Pretty Little Liars so might become more popular.

LadyStark · 02/05/2015 14:45

Pretty little liars must have been on for about 4/5 years already though so don't think this year specifically would see a big rise in Ezra being used compared to previous couple of years.

I really like it and wanted it on our short list but DH veto'd it as being too religious for us.

the blue haired kid from Star Wars rebels

Ezra Pound, American poet. I love it, never met one in real life.

Bumpedbonce · 02/05/2015 15:14

It was on our boy list for our last baby, it's a lovely name

TheTravellingLemon · 02/05/2015 15:18

Funny, it hadn't occurred to be until about 3 days ago whilst watching pretty little liars. It's now on my boy list Grin

starlightloz · 02/05/2015 15:22

It's a great name.

nightandthelight · 02/05/2015 15:26

Love it :) watching Pretty Little Liars right now!

Mrsfluff · 02/05/2015 15:29

Love it!

roundtable · 02/05/2015 15:34

I love it! biased as I have one

VainVulva · 02/05/2015 16:45

Are you still thinking of using it for s girl? If so no way. If it is for a boy the yes gorgeous!

PeppermintCrayon · 02/05/2015 19:19

I love this for a boy.

Snowflake15 · 03/05/2015 20:22

I love it for a boy DH won't allow it though

kelda · 03/05/2015 20:23

I met a boy called Ezra yesterday. Nice name.

AGnu · 03/05/2015 20:27

I love it. DH vetoed it as being too "unusual". Sad

Ham69 · 04/05/2015 09:01

A thumbs up from me. I know an 8 year old Ezra who's lovely.

pictish · 04/05/2015 09:02

Nice but very 'now'.

We think we're going to go with this - thanks for all of your input so far . I'm a little worries that it sounds a bit far out - a bit like Ebenezer or something similar - but am I just worrying over nothing ? Thanks

It's a nice name but would make me think you were religious.
