If I like Isaac and Clara.....

[Rabbitswhiskers]

What else will I like? I'm 30 weeks but me and my husband can't make a final decision! We don't know if we're having a boy or a girl. My DH likes Gabriel and Bethan. I like Isaac and Clara. Anyone think of similar names we might agree on?!!

[pilates]

Jacob, Ethan and Joseph
Esme, Madeleine and Emmeline

[musicinspring1]

[Rabbitswhiskers]

Elizabeth (Libby)

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

we have an Isaac!
his siblings are called Joshua, Samuel, Michael, Noah, Elizabeth and Elijah

some of the other names we liked over the years ( but couldn't use) were Reuben, Jonah, Levi, Hannah, Rebecca, Miriam - you get the gist. we love Biblical names

[Ponyboycurtis]

My nephew is Isaac, his brother is Eli and his sister is Ruby (but was going to be Mercy)

[hossenfeffer]

I haven't taught an Isaac or a Clara yet.

No1son would have been Isaac 20 years ago but it was too weird and the family didn't approve.

Clarabelle is lovely.

I have an Isaac and a Nancy and number 3 is most likely to be Otto.

We also liked Rita and Ezra

Otto is brilliant!

Luke and Rachel.
No idea why; just read your choices and they seem right.

[steppemum]

Please ladies - Isaac has ONE s and TWO aa's.

Is it so hard?

back to the question:

Boys: Joshua, Reuben, Luke, Josiah, Matthew, I love Theo and Ezra too. I really like Gabriel
Girls: Naomi, Miriam, Bethany, I love Clara

Actually while Isaac is the original Hebrew name, it has a few variant spellings including Issac, Izaac, Izaak, Isaak etc.
It's not hard

[steppemum]

Issac maybe a modern variant, but it isn't the standard spelling.
Strictly speaking Issac should be pronounced differently - with a short i instead of a long one.

Izaak, Izaac and Isaak are all based on spelling which occur in other languages, and can be pronounced either way. I have no problem with those spellings, but Issac is not pronounced Isaac.

My FIL is Izaak, or Izak for short, they are pronounced in 2 different ways. (more like eeza'ack and eezack)

I know it is a trend to spell names any way that you want, but there is standard spelling for a reason.

It's not hard

[ZingDramaQueenOfSheeba]

you can't dictated what spelling people choose.
if it makes you happier our DS5 is Isaac
