Help[Opinions] Isaac vs Isaiah?
For ages my top combo was Isaac James, recently that has been moved down to second and replaced by Tobias Henry. When asked for feedback on Isaac James however many people say that although there is nothing particularly wrong with it, it is a little boring. And I can't help but agree. So I've been thinking: what about Isaiah James? Better than Isaac James, more interesting? Or worse?
I just think that Isaac James is a little boring compared to my other top combos: Tobias Henry, Sebastian Wolfgang, Sydney Alexander, Edmund Tempest...
Opinions on whether I should change Isaac to Isaiah?

Isaac and Isaiah are both nice... Isaac flows into James better, but I'm not really a fan of the supplanter/deceiver meaning of James/Jacob... Bould be cool w/ a different mn and it would depend on the mn which would sound nicer. Of course, if meaning's unimportant to you, you can ignore the latter part of this.

What bugs me about Isaiah, apart from the fact that I'm not, like, heavily into prophets, is the iezIEa versus iezAYa issue. For that reason alone, though also for its splendid meaning, I'd go for Isaac every time. Why saddle a child with a lifetime of confusion?

In terms of interest, I think Isaac and Isaiah are pretty equal. I much prefer warm, friendly Isaac, though.
I think the problem is James, tbh. I love it, but it feels like a filler in many combos, particularly when paired with a popular/common names like Isaac. I read below how James is a family name, so I get why you wouldn't want to drop it, but have you ever considered rearranging some of your combos in order to pair James with a less common first name and Isaac with a more uncommon middle? Something like Isaac Wolfgang and Sebastian James, perhaps, or Isaac Tempest and Edmund James.

James
Yes, James is what makes it boring. I do like the name but it does nothing for Isaac or Isaiah. I think Santiago would be better, and that means James.
Isaiah Santiago _______
I don't know if your ok with changing the language though. But it's like honoring a family member named John by naming your kid Ian or Ivan or something.
What do you think? Or maybe try another varient of James.
