Re: Ezra for a girl?
in reply to a message by ashtonfisher
Ezra is my nephew's name so I find it to be very masculine. He's called Ez a lot and I can't honestly imagine that on a female. The nn comes about very organically so the likelihood of it happening to anyone with the name is fairly high, imo. Ez comes across even more masculine sounding than the full name.
BTW, my dd has a good friend named Elisha who is a male and his name seems more feminine to me than Ezra. In fact, it took me a good while to be able to appreciate his name. Having said this, I can picture Elisha for a female much, much easier than Ezra which seems so strong, powerful and masculine to me.
