I've been thinking a lot about future kid's baby names (out of boredom) and I found the name "Isra". It's a male name that means freedom in Turkish. Thoughts? Does it sound a little too much like Ezra to you? I really like this name but the boyfriend hates it.

It sounds kind of like Ezra. But more like someone was writing "Israel," but stopped. Meh.

I wouldn't do it (unless I were Turkish and it meant something to me).

I was thinking the same thing.. I automatially thought of Israel when I saw it..

I don't hate it.. but I don't love it. I think it's okay as a middle name, but I wouldn't use it as a first name :)
