Boy's name that goes well with Isaac

45 replies

bluesatinsash · 17/11/2009 13:53

I'm 36 weeks and don't know what I'm having. We have our girl's name narrowed down to two but I am at a loss for boys.

DS is Isaac James, not particularly for biblical reason although do like meaning ('laughter'). McIsaac is my middle name after paternal granny's maiden name.

Anyway, would love a name starting with a vowel but all me and DH can think of are 'Innes' or 'Oliver'. I really like both but DH feels Oliver too English (we're in central Scotland) and I feel Innes is too similar to Isaac.

Other names we are toying with are:

Benjamin
Samuel
Ruari

erm, that's it really.

Middle name will either be Craig after DH or Charles after my beloved late Grandpa.

Any suggestions welcome!

Hi Blue just going through my registers

David
Daniel
Mark

Not much else on the biblical front, but what about

Ethan
Euan
Owen
Aaron
Aidan
Allan

for the beginning with a vowel theme?

Fraser is also nice

JuliaGulia · 17/11/2009 15:33

How about Elijah?

Sidge · 17/11/2009 15:38

Gregory
Jacob
Jonah
Ethan
William

Not vowel names but go well with Isaac.

I'm terrible at boys names but Ethan and Euan are nice...

You could irritate the hell out of Wasabi and pinch Eric from her

Is Edward too trad? I used to know a chap called Eddie from Edinburgh who was super cute.

Rory (or Ruari) is lovely too. One of my faves... I would use it myself but a)we're having a girl and b) it would be very odd with our very Italian surname!

I'm not being much use here, just saying I like what other people have suggested

I'll keep thinking....

iggypiggy · 17/11/2009 15:53

I like the suggestions above for Euan or Owen

or how about Alasdair / Alastair?

Or Eoin?

Sorry blue not very good at this!

Divatheshopaholic · 17/11/2009 15:59

all bible names
jacob
joseph
etc...

VJay · 17/11/2009 18:10

I like Elijah too, and Ewan, but we've already discussed that one

wasabipeanut · 17/11/2009 21:18

Hi Blue

I'm afraid I'm not going to be much use here. I love biblical names like Luke, Matthew, Jacob and Joseph but I think these have all been mentioned.

Gabriel is also lovely I think.

I've gone off the idea of Eric now. Too marmite.

Probably will be a girl

My DS is called Angus Hugh and I'm currently struggling to think of another boys name to go with it. We've had lots of positive comments about the name Angus.

I expect they're a dime a dozen up where you are

Alexander
Alvin

nooka · 18/11/2009 04:50

Oh yes, Amos (we just called our puppy Amos)

bluesatinsash · 18/11/2009 12:59

Thanks everyone .

I do like Ethan Charles . Ethan was Elliot and Nancy's son in thirtysomething, only one of my fav ever programmes...

Love Ewan but our surname is same as famous Scottish actor of said name and BIL has already bagsed it if he has a son!

Alastair is my Dad and other BIL name and I always think of it as being a bit square . Edward a bit too royal for my kilt wearing clan descending DH (he doesn't know I'm after Charles as a middle name - he he)

So I'm down to Ethan Charles, Innes Charles or Oliver Craig... I'm not going to rush it and he may be referred to as babyblue for a couple of days .

Hiya blue- My nephews are Isaac and Jude, goes well together dont you think?

lilyjen · 18/11/2009 23:15

Go for Ethan then I reckon..Jacob def goes with Isaac tho imo but Ethan is a lovely name

lola0109 · 19/11/2009 12:41

I love Samuel.

I also love Leo and Caleb to go with Isaac.

Isaac is a beautiful name, but my ex named his son this! Damn him!!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 19/11/2009 18:20

Was going to say Asa , but nooka beat me to it

IMVHO, Evan is nicer than Ethan or Ewan

tryingtocookacurry · 19/11/2009 18:25

Has already been mentioned but Noah is nice!

Jamieandhismagictorch · 19/11/2009 18:29

Mind you, is Evan too similar to Ewan .... shame if so

BikeRunSki · 19/11/2009 22:08

My imediate thought when seeing teh thread was Samuel.

bluesatinsash · 20/11/2009 12:15

You know Samuel is niggling away with me...

Samuel Charles.... I like it
