These are my shortlisted three for boys, Which is the best name?
No need for negativity like - oh this names horrible or I don’t like it for this reason. Just simply want people to choose a name and write it down.

I love Isaac - it's biblical meaning is "he will laugh".

Isaac, because you can still have Zac with this if you want to. More choice

If you have isaac and Zac for short will he be eg Z. Smith OR I. Smith ? That's always struck me with a short name different initial to the long. Eg Lizzy and Elizabeth. What's their initial?

Evan was so popular when I was growing up.1970s America. I couldn't. Like the others though.

Zack gets my vote

Divgirl2 · 08/06/2019 06:22

Isaac is my favourite from your list. I don't like nicknames as full names so Zac is out (it's also a bit 90s American sitcom to my ears).
Evan is fine, but I prefer Isaac.

Like all 3.

Issac would be my choice though

Isaac

Evan is a lovely name, never met an Evan amd only know the name because of Evan Almighty x

Twilightsparkle84 · 08/06/2019 06:42

Isaac gets my vote too. Lovely name and meaning!

Clettercletterthatsbetter · 08/06/2019 06:52

Evan

NoNoNoOohmaybe · 08/06/2019 11:00

I have an Isaac called Ike.
Love how Isaac sounds and it's meaning. But it is popular.

Awrite · 08/06/2019 11:02

Zac. Absolutely love Zac.

Like Isaac.

I have an Evan 🙈 so it gets my vote

Gorgeous blonde hair, blue eyed boy

duebaby2 · 08/06/2019 11:56

@AutumnColours9 He would have his initial as his full first name. A shortened name would just be for family and friends as a nickname.

@Fluggers my current son is the same with the blue eyes and white blonde hair so I'm hoping the second baby looks the same. As for the name I'm not really sure what goes, I'll have to wait until I see him for sure.

I like Evan but my partner likes Isaac and we've kind of ruled out Zack/Zac/Zachary because of how many people spell it a different way - it would really bug me if I chose to spell it Zack and everyone just ignored that.

The other two names seem more easy to spell and less difficult to get wrong.
