Can't speak on Isaac or Isa but Isaiah is just...sigh. So handsome and has such an open sound.

Though I get why someone wouldn't like it - it's not really your stereotypical solid, masculine-sounding name (I'm speaking as an American); it's not like Samuel, Adam, Christopher, etc. And it has that uncommon "z"-sound in the middle.

But I love it!

I really like guys' names that start with I, as a group.

Always have. Don't know why.

Isaac is one of my favorite male names, actually; and when I was a kid I actually preferred Isaiah. And now, one of my favorite female names is Iris. I seem to be attracted to the long-I sound.

I love Isaac.
It's been high on my list for a while and I remember it being one of the first ever names that I recognised as loving for a future son.

While not a fan of potential nicknames (Zak or Issy), I don't mind Isaac standing on it's own while I might with other names. Isaac doesn't feel popular (where I am in England) but it's well-known enough for people to be able to pronounce and spell it.

I like the sound of Isaac, a nice mixture of soft and hard letters. It ages very well also, I feel.

I don't think I've seen the male name Isa discussed here. I thought people would be put off to it because it's a form of Jesus (which most people seem to consider too holy to be used as a name).

I don't recall seeing the female name Isa discussed much on here either.
