I'm so undecided Sad I prefer Elliot, but Isaac goes better with DS1's name. DH prefers Isaac...

So, Elliot or Isaac?

I know young boys with both names, they're both lovely kids. I think I prefer Isaac myself, and from what you say it looks like that's your front runner.

Or maybe just pick one out of a hat?

Both are lovely names, wait until baby arrives Smile

Elliot

Isaac is lovely IMO.

Isaac

Isaac

Ffion3107 · 12/06/2016 16:31

Oh the baby has arrived!!
Isaac is less common I think, so I'd go for that one!

Well, Isaac was 25th (in 2014) and Elliot was 83rd! Isaac seems to be winning though... Smile

I prefer Isaac but both are nice. What is DS1's name?

Noah

I was going to ask if DS1 was Noah. I know 2 Isaacs. Both have brothers called Noah!

Both names are fine. I'd go with less popular tbh.

maamalady · 12/06/2016 17:18

Where on the list was Elliott? I think the double T spelling might be a little more common?

I think both go just fine with Noah! Maybe let him choose which one, then neither you nor DH "win" Grin

I think both names go with Noah to be honest. I much prefer Isaac though, personally.

CPtart · 12/06/2016 17:23

Isaac by a mile.

TooMuchCheesecake · 12/06/2016 17:28

I love Elliot! Wanted it for DS but DH disliked it.
Isaac is also a lovely name, but Elliot is my favourite.

NationMcKinley · 12/06/2016 17:29

Isaac

TheCricketWidow · 12/06/2016 17:31

Elliot. My dd would have been this if she'd been a boy.

blinkpink · 12/06/2016 17:32

Much prefer Elliott. Congratulations.

Afreshstartplease · 12/06/2016 17:33

PRefer Elliot it's on my list too, I also like Ellis

MyBootsAreMuddy · 12/06/2016 17:48

I like them both.
Isaac would win for me though as love the nn Ike.

RiverTam · 12/06/2016 17:56

Elliot, definitely.
