Isaiah is more unusual I think and I like it better. Although I don't know anyone called any of them except in the Bible.

Isaiah. Such a great name.

I like all your choices though.

See Isaiah was my favourite, but I started to panic as it was quite a mouthful to say. So started leaning towards Ezra which is my husbands favourite.

Isiah , when I said them out loud without David I found that just rolled off the tongue!

gigi556 · 09/03/2018 06:56

I LOVE Isaiah. Always have.

Depends on your surname - some H surnames can be hard to say after Ezra, and some H surnames don’t flow after Elijah. Those 2 are my favourites.

Madeline18 · 09/03/2018 06:44

Elijah

CPtart · 09/03/2018 06:43

Elijah, but prefer Isaac or Zachary in a similar vein.

Emilly86 · 09/03/2018 06:09

Would go go Elijah

Mrsknackered · 09/03/2018 00:41

I love them all! I love Elijah but really dislike 'Eli' and the pronunciation of Isaiah differs loads, so for that reason Ezra.

PremierNaps · 08/03/2018 23:47

Ezra

Stinkbomb · 08/03/2018 23:43

Ezra

Afternoon · 08/03/2018 23:25

I like them all but think Elijah sounds best in combination with the other names.

snowbellj · 08/03/2018 23:01

Ezra

PinkLemonade4 · 08/03/2018 21:40

Elijah. Lovely.

CheeseTheDay · 08/03/2018 19:17

Ezra - but I'm completely biased, as I have one, who turned 10 in February.

The name has got more popular since we used in - in 2008 it was only ranked #500 (in England and Wales) - and in 2016 it was #91. DH and I were expecting it would get popular one day, but perhaps not as quickly as it did. However, I don't think that's a bad thing, I just see it as us having good taste!!

TheDailyMailIsADisgustingRag · 08/03/2018 18:46

Ezra or Isaiah.

starkid · 08/03/2018 18:16

Elijah David Spencer

T00much · 07/03/2018 22:01

greatduck I think I prefer my made up pronunciation Grin

LoveInTokyo · 07/03/2018 19:18

Ezra.

Elijah and Isaiah are both nice names, but if you’re not God botherers, people will probably assume you are.

No offence intended if you are.

Ezra!

FairyFantastic · 07/03/2018 18:59

I say Ezra, DP says Elijah

Sophronia · 07/03/2018 18:28

Isaiah, more unusual than Ezra and Elijah

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 07/03/2018 18:27

Eye-zi-ah. The zi to rhyme with eye. Sorry rubbish at this Grin

T00much · 07/03/2018 18:12

How do you pronounce Isaiah by the way? I'm guessing Izah-ya..? I do really like that but Ezra is fave. Elijah is ok but don't live it
