Thoughts on Isaiah

[lloydlf33]

Baby number five and really struggling with names. So please can i have your thoughts on Isaiah as it's a real contender at the moment.

We already have an Elijah.

Sorry, it makes me think "one Isaiah than the other" < childish sense of humour> blush

Me too

Name for wonky cats.

Spelling might be tricky. Imagine his future birthday cards from school friends.

Personally I wouldn't worry about spelling his name out. I've got probably the 3 most boring commonplace names and I still have to spell all three.

my name is isaiah because my mom name me afater a book calld i lost isaiah because isaiah was in the
trash

Too long and too similar to Elijah is vibe and sound.

Love love love it. You can't have a boring one syllable name like Seth when all your other kids have these amazing beautiful names. Think Isaiah fits perfectly. But I really hate the name Seth!!

Isaiah is nice and goes fine with Elijah. Don’t worry about the bible connection most people will have no idea.

@peaceinourtime , course not.

Isaiah is one of my favorite boys names, but I’m a Christian and would find it quite odd if it were used by an atheist simply because all the Isaiah’s I’ve ever met come from very religious families! Another issue - a lot of non-religious people who aren’t familiar with the biblical Isaiah, especially people in the UK, often pronounce the name (wrong) like “Eyes-eye-uh” but people who have heard of the biblical Isaiah and also in a lot of other countries it’s pronounced right Eyes-ay-uh so you may encounter pronunciation issues!

But wasn’t Isaiah an 8th century prophet and Jewish ….I don’t think Christian’s have ownership of the name and I find it so weird when people think they have some kinda ownership because of their religion
