I think it's a nice name and Zeke is a cute and quirky nn.

It's really in-your-face Bible-thumping religious to me. It comes on way too strong for my atheist self. I also find the sound kind of harsh, and the nickname Zeke does nothing for me.

I think it is sort of interesting while being grounded-while I don't like nicknames, I'd prefer, and actually like Zeke over using the full name which seems to have too many eee's.

I love Ezekiel especially with the nn Zeke / Zek / Zeek. It is cool and hip with a geeky flair. Ezekiel is a bit old fashioned but I think that names like this have become more current. These days a lot of biblical names have become hip again like Isaac, Isaiah, Joshua, etc... So I feel that Ezekiel is a usable and cool name. I think Tobias "Toby" and Ezekiel "Zeke" would be great together.

I really like Ezekiel. It's not too popular, it's unusual but not strange, and I find it spunky and handsome. The nickname Zeke is cute too. I don't like it enough to use it myself - unless I ended up with 5 sons, then one of them probably would be named Ezekiel nn Zeke!

DittoI agree with all of this. I really like it, love it, actually. But it's not at the very top of my list or anything. Definitely in my top ten though, not that my DH would go for it...I did toss it into the ring for consideration with DS, but it was a no-go. At the time, he cited bread and Deliverance (???) as his main objections. I still love it ;)

I like it. Zeke is a cute nickname and Ezekiel is rarely used but still familiar to people.

I've been thinking about it a lot lately. I like it. A lot. It's handsome and strong and has a pretty cool nickname, Zeke! Ezekiel just has a cool sound to it. And it's biblical, and I like biblical names.:)
