The story of Ezri
The biblical Ezri appears once, among the officials who managed David's estates, and the name did not go on to a long career. Its modern life comes from two directions: Israeli usage, where short names built on this root have been steadily popular, and English-language usage, where a science-fiction character of the late 1990s put the exact spelling in front of a large audience and moved it to the girls' side. Both are recent, and the name is used for both sexes.
Meaning

The Chance test
Every popular name lives one long story — a climb, a peak, a slow settling back. Ezri's later chapters haven't been written yet, so we borrowed them: Chance climbed just as high around 1996, and its whole arc is on record. Line the two peaks up, and Chance's path sketches the road Ezri is walking now.

The trade-off
- A documented biblical name with a settled meaning, which is rare among names this short.
- Four letters and two syllables — quick to write and impossible to mispronounce.
- It sits beside Ezra, so it sounds established rather than invented.
- Ezra is far better known and will be assumed, written and said in its place.
- The name is given to boys and girls, so the paperwork will guess and sometimes guess wrong.
- The television association is specific and, for some of the audience, immediate.
