Noah, Isaac or Kit?

[EllieD33]

Hi all,

Hubby and I are down to three front runners: Noah, Isaac and Kit. Noah is currently the no. 1 boys name in the UK, Isaac is pretty popular too though I don’t seem to meet that many of either (I am a teacher in a middle school), Kit not so much. We don’t like any long forms for Kit so baby would be just Kit. We would do middle names though do not have middle names established for Isaac or Kit (feel free to suggest), Noah would be Noah Edward or Noah Edwin. Our surname begins with a D and I like the idea of me - and probably just me, unless he wanted to distinguish himself from many Noahs in a class - calling him Ned sometimes.

We have a three year old DD called Dottie (Dorothy). She likes Noah and doesn’t mind Kit. We’d probably call Isaac Izzy and Zac, I have come across several lovely Zachs as a teacher.

I’m due next month. Thoughts?

Issac isn’t a name, though.

They’re all great names.

Noah is the best, but that’s why it’s so popular. I think I’d go for Isaac - less common and not as ‘of the moment’ as Kit.

I know a little Isaac, I think it's a fantastic name choice - timeless, suits all ages, a well known name but not that commonly used.
The Isaac I know doesn't get his name shortened, it does get misspelled a lot (Issaac is the most common).

This thread is a terrible advert for Isaac. It’s relatively short but two separate posters have already made the Issac error. A shame as it’s my favourite name of the three.

Kit, definitely.

Kit Zachary is very cool.

But if it were me I might be tempted by Kit and Marlow (e) as a middle name.

I love the name Noah. There is only one Noah in my DC’s year at school. I know more Isaacs. Not keen on Kit tbh.

Don't like any but if I had to pick at a push issac

Isaac is the nicest imo
Not a fan of Kit
Noah is a bit meh

I like Isaac the best, but am not keen on Zack as a shortening. I also don't like Ike. I'd just call him Isaac and I don't think it needs a shortening.

Noah is ok, but it was extremely popular where I live a while ago, which I do find off-putting.

I find Kit too cutesy on its own as a pp said.

I love the name Kit.

Prefer Zac/Zak/Zach/Zack to Isaac, but there is the "which spelling" issue!!

Really dislike Noah, it's dull and boring, and too common.

I love Noah

For me it would be:

1. Noah
2. Isacc
3. Kit

I have a 19 year old Kit and still love the name (it's just Kit, no long name).

And I think it's lovely with Dottie too.

63 post in and we have 3 Issacs and one Isacc!

I love Isaac. I’m not sure it would need to be shortened as it’s a short name, but also like Zachary if you wanted him to be called Zachary.

Like Noah. Very popular, I know several little Noahs.

Really dislike Kit, personally. It seems to be very “of the moment” compared with your other choices, especially as a stand alone name.

They're all cute, but KIT is a bit of nickname/short for Christopher.

I like Noah best.

They both look daft/misspelt

I have a 23-year-old Noah and an 18-year-old Isaac

Still love both of their names:))

I like all 3 choices.

Noah Edward/Edwin sounds great, and I like the Ned option there too.

Isaac Benjamin
Isaac James

Kit Andrew
Kit George

I have an Isaac, it's a great name. 😁

Issac (yuk, it even hurts to type that!) is the most common spelling error my DS has had, but we've also had Izakk once (?!?!).

I also love Noah and Kit (but only as a nickname for Christopher). Isaac is fab though. 😊 Noah Edward Dsurname, nicknamed Ned is fun too.
