Help[Opinions] Isaac
This is my all-time favorite name for a boy. While I also often prefer Felix to Isaac, Felix seems to be more of a seasonal favorite, whereas Isaac is a consistent favorite through any season. Adding to its allure, I have a great-great-great-great-grandfather named Isaac, and his father was also named Isaac.
Also, there is something about the sibset Isaac, Benjamin and Samuel that really feels right to me. I would really love to have three sons named:
Isaac James
Benjamin Arthur
Samuel Peter
...and then two daughters named after my two grandmothers:
Alice Keturah
Charlotte Sophia
This is in contrast to my other lists, wherein I favor more warm bold names like:
Felix Jude
Theodora Catherine
Silas Benjamin
Magdalene Anna
etc.
I tend to like more glaring names during one part of the year, and more traditional, colonial names during another, but Isaac always tends to transcend those moods. That is probably a sign.

Felix is a name that could grow on me but, at the moment, I associate it with cats.
Isaac and Benjamin are a little bland for me but good names, nonetheless. I suppose Samuel could come off as bland, too, but I adore it. Samuel Peter is a great combo.
Alice Keturah is lovely but I've never been a fan of Charlotte.

I love Isaac, it feels like a name I can see on a person of any age, they could be reserved or extremely bold but still have this sense of wisdom. That's just the picture Isaac gives me. I honestly think Isaac and Felix go well together but that's probably due to the off-topic reference I'm about to ask:
Off topic: Have you ever played Golden Sun? They were GameBoy Advanced games and the main two characters where Isaac and Felix. Just thought that was a weird coincidence.

No, I never did play that game, but they are great names!
