83 replies

QuackQuackQuackQuack · 04/04/2009 12:40

I have annoyed everyone over the last few days by filling MN with baby name threads but this is the final one!

Our list is:

Isaac (slight problem as my nephew is called Zak)
Cassius
Cassian
Raphael

We will wait till baby is born to decide but out of interest which one would you pick?

And you can say 'none of them' I wont be offended

Isacc

I only like Isaac, sorry. The others seem a bit trying too hard to be different.

LaDiDaDi · 05/04/2009 16:52

I meant Cassian, sounds to much like Kasabian to me.

Thats what I'm worrrying about, not being 'european' enough for raphael

I love Cassian and Isaac

andirobo · 04/04/2009 21:22

Only like Issac, as it can be shortened to Zak, even if had another family member with same name.

Dont like the others at all. Only similar sounding one in DH family is Kasper. Thought it odd at first, but mother is swedish, but grows on you!

Claire2009 · 04/04/2009 21:18

Isaac, Don't like any of the others.

preggersplayspop · 04/04/2009 21:17

I like Isaac, and Raphael (Raffy, Rafa), though I wouldn't use Raphael myself as I think of it as being more 'European' than I am - ie Rafa Benitez/Nadal. Not keen on the others sorry.

oliviasmama · 04/04/2009 21:16

Cassius

DiamondHead · 04/04/2009 21:13

I like cassius. I have a thing about 's' ending names.

thisisyesterday · 04/04/2009 21:10

i would pick Raphael.
but i love the others as well

I like Reuben but I am related to one so not an option.

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 21:06

Reuben is nice...so are Vernon and Vincent.....

DiamondHead · 04/04/2009 21:00

I think it's worth remembering that Isaac is currently the most poplular name on your list. This means that if you ask a large group their favourite - ie mumsnet, Isaac will come up top.

Doesn't mean it's the best choice for you. Go with what you like best.

3 out of 8 were girls, so every boy except one was called isaac!

Casper will always be the ghost to me connie

Likewise Ike always sounds 'Oik' to me. I was wondering if it had to be shortened, why couldn't it just stay as Isaac? Although the level of popularity of Isaac is concerning me. I'm at Kalos stats!!

There don't seem to be many famous people named Cassius, apart from the two assassins of Roman emperors (who came to a sticky end, but then who didn't in that era) and Mohammed Ali who decided it was his slave name.

conniedescending · 04/04/2009 20:02

Isaac first choice
then Raphael (although prefrer Reuben)

dont like the other 2 but I do lie Caspar??
