I really like it, especially it's shortness and snappiness, and yet it's not too out there but still unique.. thoughts? I know it won't be everyones thing, but I thought I'd ask opinions anyway. I have met an Oz before..

Everyone will assume it's Ezra.

As in Easy or short for Ezra?

I have an ez short for ezra, everyone will think it's a nickname

I assume the Oz was also a nickname or short for Oswald or Osbert (now there's an underused name!).
Ezra - Ez for short.

My son is Ezra, we call him Ez or Ezzie as a nickname

Ezra is a lovely name, I'm just not sure if it's too common? Sibling has quite a rare celtic name, as we're of celtic ancestry.

DJ EZ 😁

EZ is a shortening of Easy in videogame chat rooms, and it was how I read it, but other than that it sound nice, they just might get some flack for being 'easy' in school but beyond that I'm sure they'll be fine

It's definitely become more popular as a name, I'm not sure whether that trend will last a substantial amount of time. I still get bewildered looks from many people, particularly elderly people when I introduce him as Ezra. I don't think it's too mainstream/modern to go with a traditional celtic name- it is Biblical after all!

Ezekiel another possibility if you wanted a longer name.
