I like this name because it means help or stone of help and also because that's my name.

I love the name Ebenezer! My friend's nickname as a child was always Ebenezer, and nobody knew why. "Ebby" would be a great nickname!

Ebenezer is a biblical name. Back in the day people valued using biblical names to name their children. Now they prefer the names of celebrities. Ebenezer was not considered an unusual/uncommon name around the time of the Civil War. It only became negatively associated due to the first part of the famous Dickens' book. Eben is a more common variation and a perfectly nice name.

A beautiful name. Ebenezer Scrooge represents the pivotal story of redemption and grace.

It doesn't really matter how Ebenezer Scrooge ended up at the end of the novel, when considering his name. When I hear Ebenezer, all I can think of is the character from the book. "A Christmas Carol" has become so iconic that there really is no other association. And unless the novel were to fall out of popularity/off the canon--*highly* unlikely, and it would sadden me if this happened--this name just isn't practical on a child.

It sounds snobbish, pretentious, and outdated, if it didn't immediately bring to mind Ebenezer Scrooge. It's just plain ugly.

My professor's name and his son's name is Ebenezer, but everyone calls him Eb. I believe he is Brazilian. His son is Nezer (tries not to laugh).

This sounds like the name of an old man, and the sound is a bit comical as well. Besides, the name reminds me of a very annoying track from the 90s by The Shamen, titled Ebenezer Goode, I think.

Oh come on, that's what he was at the beginning and how did he end up? Think on how many people you know that are like the Ebenezer in the end. It means stone of help, it's a great name.
