Ok, Jared is lovely but out so Isaac or Ethan? (and I so hope I've spelt the names right this time lol!)

[spiderpig]

Following on from the badly spelt name saga of Isaac or JaredI think DH and I have decided not to go with Jared....but.....I'm not 100% about Isaac so any thoughts on Isaac or Ethan?

Once again all opinions are very welcome

Thanks in advance

[orangehead]

My 1st baby was going to be Isaac but sadly lost the baby. But I now have an Ethan. So I like both names

[ChocolateRockingHorse]

Ethan isn't lovely IMHO. It sounds like an out of date form of anaesthetic.

Jared is lovely and much under-used which is a good thing.

[Ineedsomesleep]

Sorry but don't like Ethan or Jared. Don't know if this will help to make up your mind this

[newshmoo]

think Ethan is a lovely name, my pals DS is called Nathan which is ok , Ethan is more male somehow

[ScoobyDoo]

My ds was nearly Isaac or Ethan then ended up being something else

I like them both, not keen on Jared.

[gagarin]

Only use Ethan if you and all your family can say your "th" sounds (you know - do you say brother not bruvver) - otherwise Ethan is forever Efan which is not so pretty!

[branflake81]

Not a big fan of any of them to be honest. Agree, I would think you were Jewish (not that that's a bad thing)

[BexieID]

Jared/Jarod, Ethan & Isaac.

I fancy Imogen if we have a dd next time round so that will be two I's. I think vowels roll off the tongue well.

[Nbg]

Oh and to Pelafina, my ds1 is Ellis.
So both boys have E names.

Not really a problem unless I am sleep deprived and get them mixed up

[Nbg]

My ds2 is Ethan James so obviously it is a wonderful name

[foxymagoo]

My 21 month ds is Isaac James (my Grannie's maiden surname was McIsaac, also my middle name).

We're up in Scotland and he is the only Isaac I know which is fantastic amongst all the Callum's and Lewis's!

I also love the meaning (he who laughs).

No-one has tried to shorten it as yet but I sometimes call him IJ.

21 month on and I still Love it (thank god).

Like Ethan too though, reminds me of Ethan from thirtysomething...

jared is gooood and I love Jed

[PaulaYatesBiggestFan]

Isaac nice

Zac sorry awful

Ethan OK always sounds a bit wimpy i think
Elijah is nice but soo now

[filthymindedlurker]

Isaac is the best name imo.It means 'one who laughs' in Hebrew, I believe.
But it is getting quite trendy....

[minster]

Isaac.

Don't like Ethan at all. Elijah is fabulous.

[FranSanDisco]

I prefer Isaac. I know alot of boys from the local Catholic Primary with Old Testament names - Isaac, Elijah, Jeremiah, Moses and so on. They are mainly of Black African heritage so not true that only Jewish people use these names these days.

[littlerach]
