I like them all apart from silas.
I love micah pronounced mikeha
don't think you can go wrong with any of those

Tavannach · 06/11/2020 22:46

Jude and Ezra are good.
I also like Jesse, Asher and Micah.
I don't like Silas, sorry.

Swingometer · 06/11/2020 22:50

All nice enough names

I wouldn't personally go for Jude as its a bit overused compared to the others

Only go for Ezekial if you are happy for random nicknames (Zeek etc) as its quite a mouthful

My favourites are Silas, Ezra and Jesse

Bunnybigears · 06/11/2020 22:51

I love Ezra

Silas - Makes me think of the George Elliot novel, it's okay but is a little harsh sounding.
Elias- love this, but I must admit I like the European pronunciation of it even better (Eh - lee - us).
Ezekiel - nn Zeke is kinda cool, but it sounds very strongly Christian if that matters?.
Ezra - Very nice. Love the similar Asa even more.
Micah - Nice but personally prefer as a nn for Michael.
Asher - Nice enough but could be confused with girls name Asha, if that would bother you?
Jesse - probably a bit too feminine for the UK, in the USA it's nice.
Jude - a bit too trendy for me (plus reminds me of Judas).

My faves are Elias and Ezra.

Silas - love love love
Elias - really like this but I wonder if everyone pronounces it the same way? I say el-EYE-uss
Ezekiel - I like it. I know one who is known as Zeke.
Ezra - this is my 3rd favourite. I really like it.
Micah - I like it but I dislike that some people use it for a girl
Asher - dull. I do like the NN Ash though
Jesse - I'm not a fan
Jude - this is my 2nd favourite - I love it.

SugarCoatIt · 07/11/2020 14:27

I like Ezra and Jude.

I'm not keen on Silas at all, it reminds me of silage (hope I don't offend saying that, just being honest)

Kanaloa · 07/11/2020 14:30

Silas - don’t like, reminds me of a murderer on Hollyoaks
Elias - like this and like Eli too
Ezekiel - don’t like this
Ezra - nice
Micah - nice, unusual but not weird
Asher - fine but I prefer Ashton
Jesse - like this, think it’s very cool
Jude - nice, safe name

missyB1 · 07/11/2020 14:32

I can say that I know an Ezra, a Micah and a Jude and all of them are very badly behaved unpleasant children. So I’m put off those names for life!

ParadiseLaundry · 07/11/2020 14:40

Love Asher and Jesse, these were both on our list for DS2.

Ezra is lovely too.

MikeUniformMike · 07/11/2020 14:44

Not keen on any of them.
Nicer names in the Bible.

user1493494961 · 07/11/2020 18:39

I would choose Silas, Elias or Ezra.

SeanCailleach · 07/11/2020 19:17

I do like Ezekiel.

finallychangedmyusername · 07/11/2020 19:25

I love Asher, Micah, Ezekiel and Elias.

Not keen on Silas and Jesse. Jude and Ezra are ok.

Penny21xxx · 07/11/2020 19:38

Absolutely love Jude! Other half has vetoed it for us sadly! I also like Ezra from your list x
