Ezra and Aria?

[armt]

We have an Aria. Would it be odd to have Ezra as our boys name?

We chose Aria because of its meaning and we loved it. I had heard it on pretty little liars the show.

We're having a boy and LOVE Ezra, not because of the show!!!.... is this too odd. Would people notice?

I agree with the above poster. It's like calling your kids Ross and Rachel. I don't think it's fair on them (especially as Ezra was sleazy and formed a relationship with his student, Aria!).

Love them together, not watched the show.

Some might, I'm early 30s and haven't watched it so definitely not all.

They do go nicely together and are a similar type of name but yes my first thought was PLL if that bothers you. I’m 32 for reference.

Lovely pairing.

So do you fall in to the 18-28 age range I suggested by being early 30s? 🤣

Nearly all the girls in that generation will have at least heard of the names - it was very popular in schools when it was out.

You said all other mums in her circle and teachers, they're mostly not going to be between 18 and 28.

I guess that depends how old OP is. The fact she’s made the connection might mean she does in fact have a younger circle.

Also ages of teachers vary of course, but all the teachers up to around age 28 will be likely to make the connection.

I'm late 30s and when I saw the title of the post I assumed it was a rant about the inappropriate relationship between those characters in PLL. I do think it's really weird to call your kids that particuar pairing, just as Danny and Sandy would be, or Jack and Jill. If you don't know the show, you might not find it weird, but it is something that would stick to them for their entire lives.

I thought of the show, although separately they are gorgeous names.

I actually know siblings called Ezra and Aria and I've never made the link nor heard anybody else mention it (Circle of mostly mid/late-thirties so possibly too old).

It really doesn't have what a show takes to stand the test of time so it's not like Ross and Rachel or Sandy and Danny. Every year fewer people will make the connection, it's already 7 years old, I watched it and totally forgot!

Well it's still VERY popular (I teach in a school and the teenagers still love it) so surely it's too soon to say!

I'm amazed you didn't make the link if you've watched it though!

Ah, I had kind of assumed it would disappear as it was so crap but I don't have much contact with teens.

I think now I know so many little Ezras that name has been retrained in my brain and the connection didn't happen.

Aria and Ezra go well for siblings.

If he turns out to be a girl you could choose Desma.
