What do you think?

Ok just wondering what people's initial response is to Ezra Matthew (2 syllable surname)

I love it, but just wondering if Ezra is a bit feminine??

[MrsFabuloso]

I don't think so at all, it's a lovely name!

[lyra stardust]

Thank you!! I do too! I just thought that even though it's an old school boys bible name, z and ending in a names are a bit more girly these days. So glad you like it!

[MamaPan]

It's a lovely name and i think it sounds quite strong!

[Teeki]

I agree with 3lm & MamaPan. I really like it and don't think it sounds feminine at all!

[lyra stardust]

Oh hooray, I feel really positve about it now again, I was starting to have doubts. Now if I could just get pregnant...

[Santosha]

Love Ezra. Tried to convince DH on it for our DS but he wouldn't have a bar of it (amongst many other vetoed suggestions)!

All the best for TTC, I hope little Ezra joins you very very soon.

[leckert]

I like it - nice and strong for a boy - not girly at all.

[Maruschke]

I know another Ezra, great name for a boy .

Ooops, I'm going to admit that until I got to "Matthew" I thought you were asking about a girls name. That could just be because I've never heard of anyone with that name though. Based on other people's responses it seems that it's much more well known as a boys name

[Eenee]

I thought girl when I read Ezra to sorry.

[[M]umma[M]ia]

nah.. dont like it. i was wondering why you were giving her matthew as a middle name until i realised you werent talking about a girl....

[Elocin]

I work with a guy named Ezra. I quite like it.

[RockingBaker]

I like it!

[lyra stardust]

I have fallen back in love with it! If EVERYONE had said no then I'd be put off, but you can't win em all I guess. Thanks!

[luna moth]

I love it! I am so glad somebody is giving it some love!

[k4t]

Not feminine at all to me. I immediately thought of the poet Ezra Pound.

[nothing2lose]

I LOVE it too!

There's Ezra Pound the poet, and it's the name of one of the lead characters of one of my favorite books from my younger days - Dinner at the Homesick Restuarant. I have always loved it in fact
