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...

[Elocin]

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

[RockingBaker]

I like it!

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!

Exactly right! I adore my kids names, but I'm sure there are plenty out there that don't

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

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

Ezra is a boys name to me. I like it But it doesnt matter whether any of us all like it anyway............do YOU like/love it?

YES!! I know what you mean about it not mattering, and it doesn't...but I guess I would think more carefully about it if it got overwhelming negative response! I wouldn't want to lumber the poor kid with a name that he gets teased for.

I think of Ezra Pound the poet too, which is what put me onto it.

Thank you for ALL your replies!

[Beach Mama]

Love it! Also the name of the lead singer from my fav band!!!! I don't think it's feminine at all!
