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

Not Jared

I like Isaac.

Ethan
Isaac

Don't like Jared

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.

Isaac.

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

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

Isaac nice

Zac sorry awful

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

jared is gooood and I love Jed

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...

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

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

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.

Jared/Jarod, Ethan & Isaac.

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)

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!

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

I like them both, not keen on Jared.

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

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

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 It sounds like an out of date form of anaesthetic.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.

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