Re: Ebenezer
in reply to a message by Leontine
The ending sounds unpleasant to me (words like wheeze and sneeze come to mind).
I've never heard it in real life, so the vibe I get from it is mostly 'obscure biblical name'...other names I'd put in that category are Hephzibah and Habakkuk, though Ebenezer does seem a little more usable than those because of the possibility of Ben / Eben / Eb / Zeb as a NN...so maybe it's more like Hezekiah, which seems usable to me because it could possibly be shortened to Kai / Zeke / Zack.
