Ezra is very handsome and easy to spell. It's a classic too. I assume all of those factors are why it's growing in popularity.

But I also wonder if its similarity to Esme -- used for girls now -- is part of it too. I've seen Ezra being considered for girls which I don't like at all. :0/

I LOVE this name, it’s been a fave of mine for years. I do love biblical names though. I think the sound and the z part are what has attracted people to this name. It’s also easy to pronounce and spell. Not liking it used for girls though, definitely a masculine name to me.

I really like it, it’s a cool biblical name, and a more feminine boys name.

I like it

Good meaning, unusual enough to stand out a bit without being too much so, easy to pronounce and spell, and a good, solid two syllables in length. Plus Biblical names are in in general, as are old fashioned ones and Ezra is both.
