I can't remember if I said this already, but I went to school with a kid named
Ira, and he carried it well. Laid-back, blase kind of guy...not a whole lot seemed to impress him, but I mean that in a good way.
Also, I recently overheard an expectant mother saying
Ira was her #1 pick for her unborn daughter. I think that kind of sucks, because we need more boys' names ending with the -ah sound, IMHO. The girls have already taken too many.
