I voted for [name]Ezra[/name]. I’ve always loved that name, I think because of it’s literary ties. It feels masculine yet gentle at the same time.

Any name that begins with ‘mal’ is out for me. It means ‘bad’ and I wouldn’t want to pass that feeling onto a child.

I love [name]Malcolm[/name] and [name]Ezra[/name], and I’m having a really hard time choosing one! I can easily see [name]Ezra[/name] with [name]Leo[/name] (I think they’re perfect together), but I can less easily see [name]Ezra[/name] with [name]Juliette[/name], [name]Bella[/name], and [name]Mia[/name]. I can, however, see [name]Malcolm[/name] with all of your children’s wonderful names, so I guess my vote is for [name]Malcolm[/name]! (I love both names, though!)

I hope you’re doing well!

I like the names of all your children except for the two choices on the poll.

Sorry.

I love [name]Malcolm[/name]!

caaaaaaaaaitlin · December 18, 2009, 11:27am

[name]Ezra[/name] for sure!

[name]Malcolm[/name]. [name]Ezra[/name] is nice, but [name]Malcolm[/name] goes with better with your other names. Good luck.

[name]Mal[/name] in this instance is from the Scottish “[name]Mael[/name]” which translates to “[name]Saint[/name]”. [name]Malcolm[/name] means follower or disciple of [name]Saint[/name] [name]Columba[/name]. [name]Just[/name] wanted to clarify.

I like them both, but I think [name]Ezra[/name] fits better with the other names.

Bringing this poll back to life ;). These are the two names we’re still stuck on.
Hoping for more votes and/or comments

Many thanks!
[name]Tara[/name]

I love both of the names, so yeah, I’m like the other posters…

BUT, I do prefer [name]Malcolm[/name]. My reasoning, while they’re both fine in terms of popularity, (and I’m normally not a stickler for popularity) [name]Ezra[/name] IS more popular and I can see it rising and rising, while [name]Malcolm[/name], at least for right now, is staying a pretty unknown classic. [name]Ezra[/name] is becoming quite trendy, from what I can tell. [name]Malcolm[/name] is rarely heard.

I prefer [name]Ezra[/name], both as a name, and with your other children’s names.
