I need some help guys with the two above names. We are having a baby boy and like these two names. I wanted to know the opinion of non Muslims (Muslims too Wink) of what you think of them. I'm swaying towards one but my DH is swaying to another Hmm

Yahya is the Arabic for John and Eesa is Arabic for Jesus.

I think Eesa is lovely: pronounced as spelt I would imagine? Beautiful choice.
