83 replies

I have annoyed everyone over the last few days by filling MN with baby name threads but this is the final one!

Our list is:

Isaac (slight problem as my nephew is called Zak)
Cassius
Cassian
Raphael

We will wait till baby is born to decide but out of interest which one would you pick?

And you can say 'none of them' I wont be offended

Issac

differentEggD · 04/04/2009 12:46

Not Cassian, but any of the other three are fine. I would say that Isaac is the most popular of the three though.

JulesJules · 04/04/2009 12:46

Isaac.
Possibly Raphael as a middle name...don't like the other two, sorry.

Raphael

Astrophe · 04/04/2009 13:12

Isaac or Raphael, not keen on the others

belgo · 04/04/2009 13:12

I would choose Isaac (it doesn't matter that your nephew is Zac, it's a different name).

belgo · 04/04/2009 13:13

I love the name Raphael, but can't pronounce 'r' very well, that puts me off.

I like Cassius (not keen on Cassian)

OneLieIn · 04/04/2009 13:13

Issac, the Cas ones are awful, Rafael is fine if you are mediterranean or latin

FairLadyOfMuslinCloth · 04/04/2009 13:14

Isaac and Raphael

MadBadandDangerousToKnow · 04/04/2009 13:15

Isaac or Raphael.

Meglet · 04/04/2009 13:15

Isaac is nice, but getting popular, I know 4.
Raphael is good, I know one and its a cool name.
Not sure about Cassian?
Cassius is a good, strong boys name.

I love all of them but ATM I think I favour Raphael although what OneLieIn said about being mediterranean or latin worries me.

I think Isaac is a bit dull compared to the others - so I would lose that one. others are fab.

Lizzylou · 04/04/2009 13:42

Cassius, love that name

Not overly keen on Raphael, like Cassian and Isaac

Plonker · 04/04/2009 13:43

Isaac.

MIAeatingeggs · 04/04/2009 13:49

If you spend time together as a family fairly frequently and the one set of grandparents will have both the Zac and Isaac as Grandchildren then I would not use this name. IME it is a pain for all concerned when their names are similar and Grandparents will constantly mix them up iyswim.

Plonker · 04/04/2009 13:54

My dd2's name is fairly similar to my dneices name (in the same way as Isaac and Zac) - it doesn't cause any more confusion that the usual calling of 7 names to get to the right one
