Is Ezra getting popular??

[name_m]How[/name_m] many little [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]'s do you know??

I cant quite tell if it’s just popular in theory here on nameberry of if it is really popular in real life!

What do you think?

Yes, it is getting popular. [name_m]Just[/name_m] look at the US Social Security rankings. It has been climbing in the last 5 years, and in 2015 it just might break the top 100.

2014 119
2013 142
2012 183
2011 203
2010 242
2009 257
2008 291
2007 340
2006 340
2005 348
2004 379
2003 399
2002 438
2001 428
2000 432

By numbers, yes. I came across one friend of a friend on Facebook who used it for her son a couple years ago and a few others have considered it but opted out. Other than that, I know none. It kinda varies by where you live.

Definitely varies, depending on where you live. I know of one [name_m]Ezra[/name_m] that hasn’t been born yet, other than that, I’ve never come across another.

I’ve only met one, but those numbers are telling. I would still use it if I loved it.

Where I live (not in the US) I haven’t met anyone named [name_m]Ezra[/name_m]. I feel like its very popular on Nameberry for sure, but at least where I live it isn’t actually being used. I love this name, but DH isn’t a fan :frowning:

I live in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] and i have not met any yet! But we do often en up following US trends! but i [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] the name but don’t want my kid being one of too many!

I would definitely check your state’s stats and see where it ranks. I only know of two - one is 12 and the other a newborn (and a girl!!). I think it’s a great name!

This.

I do not know any but wouldn’t be surprised to hear it out and about.

Yes it is…

I know of one [name_m]Ezra[/name_m], born a few weeks ago! I think it’s going to keep climbing, unfortunately.
