Hezekiah was my great-grandfather's name. I like the name, but...I realize it is a bit strange. I really like the nickname "Hezzie" - but at the same time, I'm not so sure "Hezzie" would like his name.
Its a name I've played with on and off, imagining my (some day) son with this name. It is certainly different (these days, different seems to be good when it comes to naming children) - I am certain he wouldn't have any other kids in his class with his name. I have noticed that unusual names are as a whole far more accepted these days. Kids just seem to take in stride that they have friends with unusual names. I grew up hating my name (it was unusual as well) - but now I kind of like that I never have to say my last name - people know who I am just by hearing my first name because no one else has my name.
Pros - 1) its a name NO ONE else will have, so he'll certainly own it. and 2) it is a family name
Cons - 1)its unusual, so it may be fodder for teasing. What do you think?
