After weeks of deliberation, DH and I have finally narrowed down our choice of boys names to two. I am excited and relieved! The middle name is definitely going to be Isaac after my grandad. Which combination works best iyo?
Arthur Isaac
Edward Isaac
Thanks x.

Edward as I like all the possible nn. Arthur has less nn potential.

Thanks for the feedback, we're leaning towards Edward! Love the nn potentials too.

I like both, but Edward Isaac sounds better.

Edward Isaac rolls off the tongue better!

Edward. It's more classic whereas Arthur is more recently trendy. Also Edward has better nickname potential.

I prefer Edward Isaac. I find Arthur Isaac a bit awkward to say.
