Esra for a girl

We are not yet pregnant but daydreaming. My husband and I don’t often agree on a name, but miraculously both love Esra for a girl. Is this useable do you think?

It is a variation of the Middle Eastern name Asra. My husband is Middle Eastern. Other variations are Isra and Izra.

[quote Elspethelf]@Warmduscher You and I both know you didn’t post to genuinely ask if I know what gender gets pregnant. As far as I can tell you posted, and are still posting, to be unkind to me. Mission accomplished. You can stop now.[/quote]
“What gender gets pregnant”?

Gender has nothing to do with it. The sex of the person who gets pregnant is female.

I posted because I’m fed up of people posting “we’re pregnant” when it’s clearly nonsense. Stick to biological facts. Women get pregnant, couples have children. It’s that simple.

@Warmduscher it’s a name forum though? I think you are posting in the wrong place

Only ever heard it for a boy. Also hate the "we are pregnant" thing

So why post “we are not yet pregnant” if it’s all about the baby name?

@Warmduscher so people who know me don’t think there’s a pregnancy yet. If you are suggesting it was to make a statement and create a debate, well that’s trolling ;)

As I said, trolling should be reported to MNHQ. No point saying it back to the poster you claim is a troll.
