It’s a boy! Little brother for Noah

[happytobemrsg]

DH is Jewish & we have a very Jewish-sounding surname so looking at Hebrew names which work with Noah. Middle name will 100% be Michael.

Eesa - I LOVE this name but is it too out there?

Ezra - the safer version of Eesa I feel. DH not completely convinced yet (gave it a solid 7/10 )

Thoughts?

I know a Noah & Isaac

I love Ezra, I really wanted it but husband felt it wasn't appropriate as we're not Jewish.

What about Asa??

Asa is great.
I prefer it to Ezra, which I like but which is surging in popularity although it's not exactly common.

also Ira?

Isn't Eesa just a modern phonetic spelling of the actual name Isa? I prefer Isa!

But I prefer Asa over both. Great name.

I love Asa... DH isn’t keen

I like Eesa and Asa! Also really like Ira. What about Ethan, Seth or Jude?

Asa. 100%

Zechariah with any of its derivatives? It goes with Noah imo

He'll be one of 8 other Ezras in toddler group /school.
Eesa is beautiful! Absolutely use this name 😍😍😍

How about Arie?

He'll be one of 8 other Ezras in toddler group /school

Seems unlikely. There were 80 more popular names last year. There will be more Hunters, Ronnies, Bobbys and Jaydens than Ezras.

Daniel
Joseph
Jacob
Reuben
Levi
Benjamin
Daniel
... essentially every character from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat

I like Ezra and agree with pp that Noah and Ezra sounds good together

I know a Noah with siblings Isaac and Elijah.
I haven't seen Eesa spelt that way, presuming it is of the same origin as Isa?

While I still love Asa DH is convinced he would be confused with a tree or laptop so it’s looking likely to be Ezra Michael!

I don’t think you have to be Jewish to use the name girlinawhirl. My nail technician just named her little boy Ezra & she’s not Jewish

I like Ezra, Asa, Micah (could that not be for the Michael you are referencing in the middle name)

How about Amos?
