Baby due to be born soon we have narrowed our list down to two names but can’t decide.
Ezrah or Ezekiel
Any thoughts or preferences?
Happy for any other suggestions!

I've not seen Ezra with an h. Prefer Ezra and prefer it to Ezekiel.

NellBeau · 23/10/2022 14:30

I love Ezekiel

quietnightmare · 23/10/2022 14:34

Ezrah is really popular at the moment so I would go for the latter

I think if you go for Ezrah as a name everyone will automatically spell it Ezra so I would strongly recommend you considering that version of spelling. I personally think Ezekiel has the edge over Ezra(h) though.

Thanks for your thoughts, yes still undecided about the spelling of Ezra / Ezrah. You might be right to go for Ezra to avoid a lifetime of having to say ‘with a h at the end’

Ezrah is cool, I love it x

KirstenBlest · 23/10/2022 20:22

I don't like Ezra.
Ezekiel is ok but a bit long - will be Zeke.
I know more than one of each

User6761 · 23/10/2022 20:28

Ezra (no h).

Ezekiel ok but too long for my tastes and has strong religious connotations for me (I know Ezra is also biblical but for me doesn't feel overly religious). Agree with PP that it would probably be shortened to Zeke.

nelliebear8 · 23/10/2022 20:56
  1. Ezra
  2. Ezekiel
    3.Ezrah
MassiveSalad22 · 23/10/2022 20:57

Ezrah makes me pronounce it ez-RAH

I prefer Ezekiel anyway - Zeke is v cool!

Mammyloveswine · 23/10/2022 21:20
