[Opinions] Thoughts on Ezra?

At the moment, this is one of the only boys names circulating through my mind. My bf loves it, as do I, so it's a definite possibility. What are your thoughts on it? My bf likes it for its association with Ezra Pound and I also like it because of the children's author/illustrator, Ezra Jack Keats.

I'm at a loss for middle names, though. I tend to find great fn's that I like but fail in the mn department. Any suggestions that come to mind?

Thanks in advance!

Another thing I forgot to mention is that if we actually use the name, I'd probably rid the baby of a hyphenated last name since I'm not sure how much I like the sound of Ezra Alvarez. I'm thinking too many of the same letters.

#Ezra

Ezra William
Ezra Timothy
Ezra Daniel
Ezra David
Ezra Finnian / Finnegan / Finley
Ezra Gideon
Ezra George
Ezra Jacob
Ezra Jordan
Ezra Jonathan
Ezra Kenneth
Ezra Keegan
Ezra Leo / Leopold
Ezra Benjamin
Ezra Charlie
Ezra Chase
Ezra Tobias
Ezra Max / Maxwell / Maximilian
Ezra Michael
Ezra Matthew
Ezra Miles
Ezra Morgan

May I just say that I think Ezra Alvarez is so, so, so, so cool. I love the repeated letters. And if you want to drop the hyphenated last name, Ezra Alvarez is such a cool combo. I cannot stress this enough.

I dig it well enough. Be aware that it's super hip.

I never thought of just using Alvarez as a mn. Good thought!

I really like Ezra Theodore, Ezra Thomas, Ezra Benjamin, Ezra Dominic, Ezra Nicholas, Ezra Sullivan, and Ezra Thaddeus.

Thank you!

I like Ezra Dominic, and Ezra Joseph.

I really like Ezra Malachi but the fact that both names are so heavily associated with the Bible, puts me off.

It's a fine name, and so many other, less unfamiliar, Biblical names might go well with it, such as
Ezra Daniel
Ezra David
Ezra John
Ezra Jonathan
Ezra Joseph
Ezra Mark
Ezra Michael
Ezra Nathan
Ezra Paul
Ezra Simon
or
Ezra Stephen
Ezra Steven
Ezra Theodore
Ezra Theo
I expect you know that there is a name similar to Ezra - with a different last letter. In the Bible Ezri was an overseer during King David's reign (1 Chronicles, 27:26).
The name means "my helper".

I absolutely adore Ezra. For me, it strikes the perfect balance between unusual, classic, familiar, and modern. Personally, I love it because of the Old Testament usage.

Middle name ideas:

Ezra William
Ezra Jack (if you're set on Keats)
Ezra Thomas
Ezra Peter
Ezra Paul
Ezra Lyle
Ezra Jacob
Ezra Franklin
Ezra Joseph
Ezra David
Ezra Caleb
Ezra Neil
Ezra Bradley

I quite like Ezra, if it wasn't for our Esme love we would consider it more thoroughly.

Ezra Alvarez isn't that bad really...
