Isaac Owen or Isaac Blake sounds good.

Isaac sounds too much like I suck....

I'd probably choose Blake from your boys list.

Love Elora for a girl.

Isaac seems to be the favourite here. My favourite is probably Noah or Blake for a boy.

Maybe you could have a Noah Blake? I think they sound ok together.( Although I'm sticking with Isaac as my fav)

I think I’m torn between Noah and Isaac for a boy, but the general consensus is Isaac so will go for that!.

For a girl I think we will go with Sofia or Maisie.

Any middle name suggestions for Isaac?

Leila - pretty but think it will date
Polly - strong, absolutely love
Maggie - not as a standalone name
Maisie - love
Poppy - ok, prefer others on your list
Elora - not a fan
Daisy - I know often unpopular on MN but I love Daisy
Sofia - prefer Sophia, but love, my favourite of your names
Freya - not a fan at all but I know some like it

MN ideas:
Sophia Isabelle
Sophia Grace
Sophia Kate
Sophia Elizabeth
Sophia Charlotte
Sophia Violet

Boys

Noah - love
Blake - reminds me of Blake Fielding-Civil, so no from me
Oscar - like
Isaac - my favourite of your boys names
Alfie - too overused imo
Luca - not a fan

Middle name ideas:
Isaac Lewis
Isaac William
Isaac Tobias
Isaac Forrest
Isaac Clayton
Isaac Henry
Isaac Nicholas

I love Daisy - it is my sister's name :)

Enko · 04/05/2019 17:32

Elora is such a pretty girls name and not that common in the UK giving it a plus for me

I quite like Blake for your boys names.

MollyYouInDangerGirl · 05/05/2019 18:54

I love Freya! For your boys names I would choose Noah or Luca I think, although I also really like Isaac.
