It's a cool & handsome name, but it is so unfortunate that parents are now using this name for their daughters. What name is next?

I like it.

A little popular for my liking but I do love the name. I love the sound and look.

I used to love it, and I still like it a lot. But it's become super trendy which puts me off it a bit. I put it in the same category as Henry and Oliver (although Ezra historically is much less common). So, yeah, I like it, but I wouldn't use it and I wouldn't be surprised to see it used.

It's my all-time favorite boy name :) It's been my top favorite for YEARS now. I can't not picture myself using it.

I like it a lot more than I used to mostly due to a lot of exposure to the name over the past 9 months. My best friend where I currently live and another friend here both named their babies, who were born 3 weeks apart, Ezra. So literally the only two babies in my everyday life right now are Ezra haha. I look after my friend's baby multiple days in the week for a few hours at least each time and it's also not unusual for me to have the other Ezra in my office or in my classroom when I teach.

I used to think it was an ugly name but now it's just a 'normal' name that I say so often that I can't find it ugly anymore, if that makes sense? It's handsome, it's simple and easy, and it's one of the few names that even I haven't ever had the urge to shorten (and I shorten nearly everyone's name lol). Although I do call the Ezras a longer nickname that is a play on their middle name or last name with their first name- think Ezra-Jay and Ezra-Shay kind of thing (they aren't it exactly).

Ezra sounds very handsome. It is an old fashion name that is coming back.

I love the name Ezra, it's a fave of mine.

It sounds a bit hillbilly to me. I'd assume the bearer came from a very religious background

I love it but the trendiness has put me off, unfortunately. I've been searching for names with a similar vibe and haven't had much luck - there's Ira, which I love, but convincing friends + family that it's a masculine name is an uphill battle :P
