[Opinions] I went to school with an Ira.
I can't remember if I said this already, but I went to school with a kid named Ira, and he carried it well. Laid-back, blase kind of guy...not a whole lot seemed to impress him, but I mean that in a good way.Also, I recently overheard an expectant mother saying Ira was her #1 pick for her unborn daughter. I think that kind of sucks, because we need more boys' names ending with the -ah sound, IMHO. The girls have already taken too many.

My friend wants to name his daughter Ezra.His name is Tyler...I think he prefers his middle name, James, probably because it's older. When I said Ezra was a boys' name, he replied that it's been used for girls.
His siblings are Zachary, and I think Benjamin and Caitlin.
I think it was Sabrina Fair who also liked Ezra for a girl.

Ira is also a female name, short from Irina, Irena. It's common in Croatia and Russia, but pronounced 'EE-rah'.
