....after discussing on an Elliot thread how that was my favourite boys name,and I couldn't think of any others etc etc...

I got got a BFP this weekend!! Not quite planned, but hey ho...

Am convinced will be a boy, have loads of girls names we like, but no boys. Then DH (who usually makes really dumb suggestions-as in 'Sumner' last time- was very relieved to have a girl!)- suggested Isaac, which I love and wouldn't have thought he would. Think it goes quite well with Elliot and Millie. Nick name would be Ike (which swayed it for DH).

What do you think? Popularity doesn't bother me.
Any suggestions in a similar vein? Although I do think deep down i secretly love Isaac anyway...

(I know its early on, but thinking of names takes my mind of the practicalities of where DC 3 will actually fit into the house....!) And of course, it's too early to tell people in RL...

Isaac is great, It's one of our names for Ds who we ended up calling Jacob in the end!

It goes nice with Elliot and Millie too.

Congratulations!

it's not my fave, although ike is quite cool.

But congratulations, and lol at having to find another name after our chat the other day!

/i know- how weird is that!!

Dh has now started disliking ll the girls names too, so it will be a long next few months!!

I have an Isaac so I'm biased . We were originally going to shorten it to Zac but in the end we haven't. I think it goes well with your other 2. I don't think its that popular at the moment but it is getting popular. I don't think it will ever be top 10 though.

Louey, I really like it,. it makes me smile when I say it (but then it does mean Laughter!)
