Your thoughts on Isaac Matthew?

[ThisSassyQuoter]

Hi me and my husband are expecting a boy, we both absolutely love Isaac. We picked Matthew for the middle name, your thoughts on the two names?

🤣

Biblical, safe. Probably won't be another.

The 'firstname middlename' threads always seem to concentrate on the flow of the two names.
What really matters is the first name and surname. Isaac won't go with some surnames (e.g. Cox, Dixon).

Like Ezra, Zachary, Nathan, James, Luke, and 90% of other names for both boys and girls in the UK...

What's the problem with 'biblical' or 'religious' names?

This is what I came to say too!

OP. imo, Isaac Matthew is a great name. Both are classic names.

Matthew is lovely, Isaac isn't.

Both good solid names but Matthew is far less common than Isaac these days and I prefer Matthew Isaac personally.

I do too. I think Isaac is slightly more characterful as a first name, but I like them both.

Love it. Great names either way round.

It sounds quite biblical to me. But nothing wrong with that if you dont mind that! I love the name Matthew! X

Came on to say this. I know Isaac's with the last names King and Dick.

Make sure you say the whole name and first name/surname combo out loud before you commit!

It’s nice. I like both names. Good choice 👍

I really like Matthew, not so keen on Isaac but IMO it doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks you both go with what you both love

Both nice names. People do tend to misspell Isaac as Issac though.

Really like it!

My DC both have very solid biblical boys' names and we aren't even slightly religious.

I have an Isaac, it means laughter. He’s grown up now but I still love the name.

Nobody hears anyone’s middle name until they graduate or get married or something.

I don't disagree but I wouldn't recommend Matthew Isaac Surname known as Isaac anyway because people will assume he's Matthew.

OP's baby was probably named months ago.

Lovely.

Like it.. but prefer Matthew Isaac

Just pick what you like. To me the combo is very religious but then again you hardly use the middle name.
