Final two names - Aidan or Isaac?

Which should we go for and why? Aidan or Isaac.
DS is three weeks old and I can’t decide which suits better.

OP posts:
Are your children’s vaccines up to date?

I really like Aidan.

weegiemum · 27/12/2021 23:47

Aidan, but I'm biased as I have a very cool 19 year old one! He loves his name.

IbizaToTheNorfolkBroads · 27/12/2021 23:47

Aidan, by a very long way

Loveinacoldishclimate · 27/12/2021 23:44

@SundayTeatime Confused Hmm

SummerLew · 27/12/2021 23:37

Isaac. Great name!

SundayTeatime · 27/12/2021 23:35

@Loveinacoldishclimate

Team Issac all the way 😊
That isn’t a name, and nor is it one of the OP’s options.
imsureineverdo · 27/12/2021 23:33

Isaac!

MadeForThis · 27/12/2021 23:31

Aidan.

buddy79 · 27/12/2021 23:30

These were both on our list! We chose Isaac - I love the meaning (laughter) and it goes better with DS1. Think it is slowly getting more popular though. Sorry am no help!

Loveinacoldishclimate · 27/12/2021 23:30

Team Issac all the way 😊

ICalledYouLastNightFromGlasgow · 27/12/2021 23:26

100% Aidan.

Veryverycalmnow · 27/12/2021 23:25

Love both

IAmSantaOhYesIAm · 27/12/2021 23:16

Isaac but then I’m biased!!
Mine is 15 and it’s still such a cool name - I still get comments on how nice it is from people I meet.

FallonCarringtonWannabe · 27/12/2021 23:12

They were bith our last two names with our ds! He is 9 now and uses our 3rd choice, Lucian, on his gaming accounts Hmm

Poetrypatty · 27/12/2021 23:07

Both lovely. I'd choose whatever sounds best with your surname.

2irishmums2be · 27/12/2021 23:06

Aidan,but I'd spell aodhan

DramaAlpaca · 27/12/2021 23:04

Aidan. It's lovely.

Isaac is a wrinkly, ugly name.

Awrite · 27/12/2021 23:00

I really wanted Aidan for ds. Can't remember why dh vetoed it. So, yes - Aidan. It really is a great name.

shreddednips · 27/12/2021 22:58

Aidan by a country mile!

Pinkginlover · 27/12/2021 22:57

Isaac

SundayTeatime · 27/12/2021 22:57

Aidan by far.

Grizzlydog · 27/12/2021 22:45

Aidan

SprogletsMum · 27/12/2021 22:44

There's loads of Isaacs around. I have an Aidan and an Isaac.
Both will get spelt wrong all the time. Obviously I'm biased but I think they're both lovely names.

YouCantTourniquetTheTaint · 27/12/2021 22:42

Isaac for sure, there can't be many Isaacs around, can there? As a kid I was usually the only person in my year at school with my first name, so there wasn't for example Katy 1, Katie with the e, Katie 2.

As a MN said above I too think Aaron over Aidan.

WeasilyPleased · 27/12/2021 22:37

I loved Isaac until someone pointed out the I suck thing. Sorry OP. Also, you'll get a lot of people writing Issac which would get on my pips.
