This is our third and last baby, all boys. We didn’t necessarily pick a second E name on purpose, just loved the name. Now with our third being our last (and same gender) I feel like it’d be weird if we didn’t stick with E.
Two concerns - a lot of the names we like may sound similar to one of our first boys names.
We have a very Spanish last name that clashes with a tonnn of names which is why we like the ones that we do.
That’s my concern with [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] & of course, its our favorite so far We do use “Zeke” way more, so in every day life it wouldn’t necessarily matter in that aspect but it does still bother me. Thanks, very helpful!
[name_f]My[/name_f] sister has twins [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] (called [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] & Zeke). So it flows well for me because I’m used to it. I do see with [name_u]Eli[/name_u] and [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] that it sounds like you have to have another E name, but if you call them [name_u]Eli[/name_u] and [name_u]Zeke[/name_u] it doesn’t seem as much so.
I love the idea of [name_u]Eli[/name_u], [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m], and [name_m]Isaiah[/name_m]. I think that sounds very strong together!
With this in mind I love [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] I think he works wonders is so handsome and I know brothers named [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] & [name_u]Ezra[/name_u] so I think they are great pairing.
I’m in agreement with those saying that a different starting letter would be fine, although I totally get the urge to continue the E theme too!
Some more ideas for both avenues ~
[name_m]Eddis[/name_m]
[name_m]Samuel[/name_m]
[name_m]Jonas[/name_m]
[name_m]Joel[/name_m]
[name_m]Bram[/name_m] (with full name [name_m]Abram[/name_m] perhaps?)
[name_u]Noah[/name_u]
[name_m]Vincent[/name_m]
[name_u]Vaughn[/name_u]
[name_m]Vance[/name_m]
I’m also loving [name_u]Everett[/name_u] (Rhett/Rett as a nickname?), [name_m]Xander[/name_m] and [name_m]Lukas[/name_m].
[name_u]Ezra[/name_u] is totally my favorite! I don’t find it too close to [name_m]Ezekiel[/name_m] nn [name_u]Zeke[/name_u], personally. They share the “Ez” start or course, but I think that just makes them sweet together! It’s not as though they rhyme or anything. They make great brothers.
