I'm looking for a name that isn't very common, as my birth name was extremely rare so I am uncomfortable when people have my same name, but also isn't so odd as to get questioned a lot or anything. Some I'm thinking about: Jonah, Ezra, Elias, Elijah, Micah, Vance, Jude, Jesse. Favorites? First/middle name combos? Thoughts? Other suggestions? BTW, my last name is Bell.
Heh, Ezra is the name of one of my sisters exes and Micah is her husbands name! I really like Vance though, it's interesting! Kind of makes me think of Vincent which is another name I really like personally!
I have the exact same situation with my name choosing. I was given a very nice, extremely rare "princess" sounding name. So when I picked a new name I wanted it to be unique as well. In the end I went with Emmett Rhys (1st and middle names, no last names mentioned). For you though... I really like Ezra out of your picks. More suggestions: Jonas, Matthias, Lewis, Clarence, Toma (derived from Thomas), Jai (pronounced "j-eye"), Felix, Peter The website Nameberry as a lot of good suggestions. Good luck, Cynder! -Rhys-
I actually like most of the names you are thing about But I think Ezra sounds the best with Bell. Ezra Bell. Has a nice ring to it
Jonah would be my pick out of those. Jesse has an allure as well, but I can't quite put my finger on it atm.
I personally love Jonah the most because I know I nice guy called Jonah. Jesse is also a nice name, and I quite like Ezra.
