My DH and I have been talking names the last couple weeks for fun and he’s honestly never been able to “come up” with any names. It’s always been me throwing out names and then he says whether he likes it or not. EXCEPT for the name [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]. He’s mentioned this name so many times.
I want to love it, but I don’t. I’ve been trying to let it grow on me for awhile now. But I’ve been letting it grow on me for a boy. Over the weekend he mentioned liking it especially for a girl. Woah, total curve ball!
Now, I’m curious to know what the berries think of it as a girls name?
I still don’t care for it, but I think I could like it more if I found a girls name that had a similar sound. Something along the lines of [name_f]Desiree[/name_f], but different? Something where we could maybe get the nn [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] OR a nn that can stem from [name_m]Ezra[/name_m].
I actually know a little girl named [name_m]Ezrah[/name_m] spelled with an H at the end, which I think makes it a lot more feminine. I’m a fan of unisex names so I really like it! Ooooh [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] could be a nickname for [name_f]Esmeralda[/name_f]!
No, please don’t do this! It feels like every boy name gets colonized as a girl name, and never the other way around, and it’s probably my least favorite name-related phenomenon. [name_f]Esme[/name_f] and [name_f]Astri[/name_f]/[name_f]Astrid[/name_f] have a similar sound.
I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] on a boy but strongly dislike it on a girl. (And no, I’m not one that hates boy names on girls. I just don’t like this one being swapped)
[name_m]Ezra[/name_m] is a boy’s name. [name_m]Just[/name_m] say no. There is a feminine Turkish name [name_m]Esra[/name_m], which someone mentioned. The sound is basically the same, but you ditch the masculine baggage.
I love [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] on a boy, but not for a girl. What about [name_f]Eliza[/name_f]? It has the sounds, and it’s such a spunky/sweet name for a little girl:) [name_f]Esme[/name_f] was also a good suggestion.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_f]Esmaria[/name_f] (Ez-[name_f]MAR[/name_f]-ia) instead? =]
[name_f]Desiree[/name_f] is a good idea, too, alibc! I’m thinking maybe you can even spell it [name_f]Dezarae[/name_f] and bam, [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] nn for your hubby to enjoy!
