Wdyt of the name Isannah? I came across it while reading an article about Paul Revere. It was the name of one his daughters. I kind of like it and keep thinking about the combo Isannah Kate.

I like it. Isannah Kate is nice, but to go with Isannah I think I'd prefer Cate. I'm not sure why-- I prefer Kate usually. Hmm. Anyway, I'd be happy if I started seeing little girls named Isannah running around :)

I think it might be a nice alternative to Hannah, which has become so popular.
I like it, but not enough to use on my own child.
Isannah Kate works as a combo!

I love it and it has been in my top 10 for quite awhile now. It kind of combines my love for Susannah, Hannah and Elisabeth/Isobel all into one unusual name. I would seriously consider using it if I had a daughter tomorrow. I'm so happy to see it getting some love here to be honest! Whenever I list it or mention it on these boards, it generally doesn't get such great reviews.

Isannah Kate is a cute combo! I would prefer Isannah Katherine nn Isannah Kate or Issy-Kate

Katherine's gotten kind of boring and over used in recent years though... but Isannah Kathleen would be quite pretty... For some reason I tend to associate Kate with Kathleen and Katherine more with Kathie/Kathy for a nn.

seems kind of made up... perhaps more pleasant than some other made up names though... what does the name Isannah mean?

No one knows where Isannah came from. It might be a combination of Isabella and Susannah.
