Ok so we've narrowed it down to 4 names, 2 girls and 2 boys.
Either:
Sloane or Delilah
Saul or Ezra

Which do you prefer?

Delilah and Ezra

Randomname1234 · 30/08/2022 14:19

For boys I LOVE Saul (its our top boys name ☺️). So I’d go for that, but I do really like Ezra too.

For girls I think I prefer Delilah.

Mummytobe333 · 30/08/2022 14:36

Delilah & Ezra for me !

anotherpotoftea · 30/08/2022 14:46

Delilah and Ezra but Saul’s great too

DramaAlpaca · 30/08/2022 14:49

I like Delilah.

Hate the rest, especially Sloane. That is one ugly name.

Ayupchuck1 · 30/08/2022 14:53

Delilah and Saul. All i think of when i hear Ezra is George Ezra (not necessarily bad but it’s tainted my view of it)

EleanorShellstrop28 · 30/08/2022 15:44

Saul has such unfortunate namesakes - King Saul, obviously, and it was the name of the Apostle Paul back when he was really into murdering Christians.

Ezra is nice.

I prefer Delilah to Sloane.

Firebird83 · 30/08/2022 16:10

Delilah and Saul. Definitely not Sloane.

KirstenBlest · 30/08/2022 16:50

Sloane or Delilah - both truly awful
Saul or Ezra - Saul's ok, I dislike Ezra

frenchie4002 · 30/08/2022 17:52

Sloane and Ezra

saynotoo · 30/08/2022 17:54

Delilah and Saul

MassiveSalad22 · 30/08/2022 17:56

Delilah and Ezra IRL but I’d pick Sloane if I was brave enough!

I hear Saul, I think Paul.

Whiskeypowers · 30/08/2022 17:57

Sloane is awful
i don’t like either of your boy names sorry. George Ezra ruins it for me and Saul is a horrible gloopy sound

dmb91 · 30/08/2022 17:58

Delilah and Ezra

Pemba · 30/08/2022 17:59

Sloane is one of the ugliest names ever, so definitely Delilah. Delilah may be perceived as a little OTT and frilly but it's pretty and lyrical and has the option of being shortened to Lilah.

Saul and Ezra both quite good choices for a boy, I prefer Saul I think.

PS Please don't call your daughter Sloane!

KangarooKenny · 30/08/2022 18:00

Just Saul at a push.

Butterbeer4All · 30/08/2022 18:07

Delilah
Ezra

YouSoundLovely · 30/08/2022 18:09

Saul and Delilah would be OK as names if they didn't have such negative (biblical) associations. Ezra I struggle with because my primary association is with Ezra Pound, who was a fascist collaborator and an anti-Semite.

Sloane is just dreadful.

GlassDeli · 30/08/2022 18:41

Delilah and Ezra

User2145738790 · 30/08/2022 18:49

Sloane? Is that for real? Why not Yuppie?

Ezra is an ok name but Ezra Miller is a complete freak and I wouldn't like my child to have anything in common with them.

17caterpillars1mouse · 30/08/2022 21:49

Delilah and Ezra. Sorry but I think Sloane is awful.

WishDragon · 30/08/2022 22:22

Ezra and Delilah.

Sloane is just horrible. Who wants to be called that?

timoteigirl · 30/08/2022 22:25

Isn't Sloane a square? Delilah and Ezra

Why not Bathshebah? can I tempt you?

Luredbyapomegranate · 31/08/2022 22:25

Saul, although I like Ezra, Saul is really underused.

I think both your girl names are pretty awful sorry. Sloane is dated 80s Americana like Ashley, and Delilah, although not quite as bad, is annoyingly twee.

How about Naomi, Esther or Lois to match your biblical boys choices?

buzzbuzzybuzz · 31/08/2022 22:27

Sloane is hideous. Change your own name to Sloane if you like it that much.

Any of the others are nice
