Noah or Isaiah

Basically, Noah was DP & my fave boy name from getting together 4 years ago. It has absolutely cascaded into popularity, which does colour the name for me somewhat.

Isaiah is an old family name that we WILL use either as a first name or middle name.

Edward is another family name we are planning to use.

So baby will be either Noah Edward Isaiah (too much biblical-ness??)

or Isaiah Edward.

Opinions?

We also like Jasper Edward Isaiah, and I am keen on Harry but alas doesn't work at all with our surname.

I prefer Noah to Isaiah as a first name and also love Edward. Noah Edward Isaiah is fine IMO - how often do people refer to someone by their full name anyway? I have an Isaac Edward, similar to your choice I guess! I'm not so keen on Jasper.

For what it's worth, I love Isaiah. I have never met one, but I dont see how it's any different to Noah, Isaac, Zachariah, or any of the other OT names making a comeback.

I think either Isaiah Edward or Edward Isaiah (be warned, the Twilight nuts are going crazy for Edward) would be lovely.

Harry doesnt really fit with the others, and I think Jasper and Edward are a bit much together.

HTH

I prefer Noah, but think both Noah and Isiah are good.

I like Isaiah and Jasper.

I hate Noah. It sounds so negative.

I don't have any feelings about Edward.

Isaiah. It is soooo cool.

Isaiah Edward, closely followed by Edward Isaiah, are my favourites from your options. Not so keen on Noah or Jasper.

Isaiah, definitely

I like Isaiah the most. Noah is so overdone. Isaiah is still uncommon, and I cant imagine things like Isaiah, Elijah, Jeremiah etc really hitting the big time like Jacob and Noah.
I would go for Isaiah Edward.

Great thanks for all opinions, seems to echo our thinking.
