[Opinions] Ezra

Ezra, a name I thought I'd never consider, is growing on me immensely. I don't think it really fits with my other favorites, but maybe it does, I don't really know. However, I love the simplicity of it, and I just think it just has a nice vibe. Wdyt? First and middle name suggestions are welcome - I haven't really started thinking about that yet. Ezra Jens / Jens Ezra randomly came to mind, but I definitely think that's too short. I think Ezra needs a longer, preferably non-Biblical middle/first name. Any ideas?

Thanks a lot! :)

I like Ezra, it really has character. I do struggle, however, with it seeming rather weak to me for some reason.

I remember Brendan (I think that's who it was) bringing up Ezra Cornelius, which I think is great. I don't think the middle name necessarily needs to be nonbiblical, though either a common, traditional biblical name (John, David, etc.) or a relatively unknown one (Cornelius, etc.) might work better. I also like:

I agree, nice vibe, especially for an archaic Hebrew name. I think it should take the place of Noah. Ezra Jens isn't too short for me, but I don't think it sounds that great spoken aloud in my accent (Ez Rye Ens) - especially with a surname it could run together. Ezra James?

Thanks! Ezra James is very snappy, I'm likin' it.

I love Ezra! My mind isn't really in it right now so I'll have to get back to you with combos. The combo that I have on my favorites list is Ezra Alexander.

I love Ezra. I think it's hunky and gentlemanly sounding at the same time, a great combination of traits in a name! You're definitely right about the "nice vibe".

But boy is it tough to pair with a mn!

Ezra Julius
Ezra Benedict
Ezra Donovan
Ezra Lincoln
Ezra Dominic
Ezra Leonardo
Ezra Maxwell
Ezra Finley
Ezra Augustin
