Sibling name rivalry!

StefiMarie

DH and I cannot agree on a name if this baby is a boy!  He insisted that our first son be Ezra.  I tended to be more in favor of a name a little less weird, I guess.  But now we both really like it.  The trouble is that we are tryign to come up with another boy name. 

He wants to go with Logan, but I have two Logans in my family already and I just don't like the name. He also likes Tyler but I feel that it is way too "nomal" compared to Ezra.  I do like names to follow a similar theme.  Our saved name for our (hopefully soon) daughter is a Hebrew name beginning with A.  Ezra is a Hebrew name meaning Helper (yes, we care about the meaning).  So I am hoping for a vowel name OR a hebrew name, something in the same family. 

I was going for Ezekiel or Elijah, but DH thinks it is too similar and says he hates the names.  But I don't want one child to have a name that is so different than Ezra and A.  I am also VERY against any name that could go with either gender. 

 We don't want to give our child a terrible name they will hate.  PLease, do you have any suggestions???

I don't know if it really "goes" with Ezra but I love the name Arlo for a boy.  I like Ezra too but DH thought it was too far away from Evan (DS).

Ezra and Adam sounds ok to me.  Or maybe Eli?  Levi?

I think Eli or Isiah sounds nice. I also love the name Asher.

My favorite E Jewish/Hebrew name is Eli, but Eliot is also nice.

 

And IMO, Ezra is not weird at all and is a very common Hebrew/Jewish name.

I knew of a family with an Ezra, Asher and Hannah. They all worked nicely together!

maybe you could look up hebrew names and find one on a list

Samuel?

Also, I agree with pps that Ezra is not "weird." It's a very classic name that's not too popular or tied to a particular generation (ie, it's not "dated"). I have known Ezras of different ages in my life.

....try searching biblical Hebrew names. You will find something that goes with Ezra and your girls' name. Promise.

Why don't you just search Hebrew names and see what pops out to you? I love the name Elijah. I also like Silas even though it is not Hebrew. What about Cyrus?

Isaiah-God is salvation

Benjamin-son of my right hand

Evan-God is good

Levi-joined in harmony

Moses-drawn out of the water

Jonah-a dove

Abraham-father of many nations

Nathaniel-gift from God

Isaac-he will laugh

The meaning of names influenced my choice too

My grandfather's name was Chaim (life), which I love, although it is quite out there and good luck getting people to pronounce it correctly :-)

DH's father is Chaim, no one has a problem pronouncing it.
