How about Ezra?

[NicotineRushh]

Some people may have seen my other thread, which included a bunch of increasingly ludicrous names for our hypothetical baby boy (TTC). I loved all the names but probably wouldn't ever actually use them...

So... how about Ezra? It hit me, I love it, its unusual but not weird.

Thoughts?

Ezra Wytchwood is amazing! Sounds like the leader of some high-achieving wizard set at Hogwarts or somesuch

Great name and goes well with an unusual surname.

Ezra makes me think of a book character from a dystopian novel. I like it but also think it's quite try hard

It’s a great choice!

Love it!

@DukeOfEarlGrey the whole witchy/magic vibe is one I am living for!

@CorianderLord it is a very common name used in dystopian and fantasy novels, one such book is where I found the name. I can see why you think it's try hard, because it definitely is!

Yeah I love it too!!!

Just seen what your surname is and I love it even more

It isn’t particularly unusual, it’s definitely having a ‘moment’ and will probably date as a late 2010s / early 2020s name but it is fabulous!

I know loads of little Ezras. Very popular in the Jewish community.

For me it's always sounded more like a girl's name.

I like it, but it is nearly 'arse' backwards which might put me off

Okay, that’s just ridiculous

I always thought if it as a veryJewish name but it's now more typically known as a trendy name. I know a couple under 3. I can't see any reason not to use it.

I know a couple of Ezras. It's a great name. Great surname too! Works so well together.

Awful

@Mucklowe Yeah that doesn't surprise me, I was so excited about my badass name and after doing some research it seems Ezra is quite a biblical name!

Not that it matters to our decision, just interesting little fact

I love it!
Would use it but DH isn't keen.

Yes, go for it.

I used to like it but it is so popular now, as much as Noah around this area. It a good solid Old Testament name though.

Yes it's cool. I know an Ezra who is about 21.

@Treaclepie19 see convincing DH is the battle! Haha luckily we are still TTC so there's plenty of time for him to agree!

@NicotineRushh yep! Im almost 20 weeks pregnant so we actually have to decide. Our boys previously haven't had common names so I guess he's just not sure on Ezra!
