I like Joel and Leo the best with Isaac

Purpleknickers · 13/03/2020 21:40

Joel ... love it
Followed by Leo

GetTheSprinkles · 13/03/2020 21:44

My 16wo is called Leo so this is clearly my fave by far!
Not a huge fan of Joel, I dont know why but sounds a bit wishy-washy to me.
Max always makes me think of a dog.
I thiink Isaac and Elliot go nicely together

Spied · 13/03/2020 21:48

Love Isaac.
I like Max, Leo and Jack - in that order.
I don't like Elliot
Really, really dislike Freddie and Joel.

TankGirl97 · 13/03/2020 21:49

Isaac is lovely, I'd go for Joel or Elliot.

123Dancewithme · 13/03/2020 22:24

I like Max and Jack best, they’re on my list too. Joel and Leo are also nice.

limpbizkit · 13/03/2020 22:25

Joel or Leo

everly · 13/03/2020 22:26

Joel goes lovely with Isaac.

I do like Jack aswell.

Dyra · 13/03/2020 22:41

Lovely list of names OP. The only one I don't like is Freddie. My favourites are Max and Elliot.

ThursdayLastWeek · 13/03/2020 22:43

Youve essentially listed my child’s classmates Grin

Absolutely nothing wrong with any of them, but I I would consider all of them fairly popular. If that matters to you

Yukaplantpot · 13/03/2020 22:44

joel or leo

SugarPieHoneyBunch1 · 13/03/2020 22:45

Another vote for Joel

TantrumDoughnut · 13/03/2020 22:46

Another vote for Joel or Leo Smile

Thanks everyone Smile finding it much harder to decide this time round so it's great to have others' views

Elliot or Joel. Both lovely.

SisterVanHelsing · 13/03/2020 23:32

Joel is lovely. I like Elliot as well.

ldnstb123 · 14/03/2020 00:37

Love max and jack, Leo and Freddie both very over used

Astronica · 14/03/2020 04:53

Leo and Joel are my favourites for Isaac's brother.

MyTwoPence · 14/03/2020 05:36

Freddie is Krueger to me so a definite no.

Other than that in order from best to worst:
Max
Elliot
Joel
Leo
Jack

Actively like the first three, the last two I'm less keen on, but I don't know if that's just that the two together make me think of Titanic (Jack, played by Leo)

I'm also not so keen on Jack with Isaac because of them both ending in the same sound.

I think Joel probably goes best with Isaac

Thepigeonsarecoming · 14/03/2020 05:39

I’m not going with the others, I love Leo and I love Freddie. Don’t like Joel, but that’s a personal reason :)

NearlyGranny · 14/03/2020 05:48

You could go Old Testament to find a match for Isaac - maybe not Hezekiah or Job - but on your list Leo is the standout for me! It works for a cuddly baby, a gangly teen and a serious grown up too.

motortroll · 14/03/2020 06:02

I think you should discount jack and max as when you say the 2 boys names they're a bit rhymey.

Isaac and jack
Isaac and max

Just sounds a bit odd!

Isaac and Joel
Isaac and Leo

These sound better!

I don't like Freddie, it's too popular.
