Ezra= MALE prophet. It would be like naming your son Theresa after Mother Theresa= FEMALE nun.

Ezra is a male name, although of course, anyone can name any gender kid whatever they want. Just be aware that if your kid named Ezra ever moves to NYC or any other heavily Jewish area, everyone will assume they are a man. That may not be a big problem, but I could see it being annoying for a woman with this name.

I have seen that some have talked about the name being given to females.
Ezra in Hebrew is spelled עזרא. The א at the end denotes a masculine bearer. However, the female form would be עזרה, with a ה at the end instead of an א, which denotes female.
A little Hebrew grammar for you. :)

I don't know why people keep thinking Christians would name their kid Ezra, the name is Hebrew and from the Old Testament. It seems very Jewish if you really think about it, unless you count the whole Reformation bit as a reason to call Ezra a "redneck Christian's name".

Ezra (this form and spelling) is also used in Croatia and the Netherlands.
