Althought that was definitely my favorite, I actually like all of them. The only one I'd stay away from right now is Jacob ... it's just so darn popular! ;)
Right after seeing this poll last night, I was talking to my friend and she was telling me her next boy would be named Isaac. Elijah was also mentioned, and she already has boys named Jacob and Noah. All of their middle names are/will be Matthew (after her dh ... it's a family thing for them). Just thought that was a funny coincidence.
That is funny! My cousin's husband's name is Matthew, so that's the reason for the middle name. And they're both ministers, so they'd like a special Biblical name. She brought up Ezekiel but I asked that she not use it because it's pretty much the name that I have set for my first son...when I have one. And because she's the sweetest cousin ever, she agreed. :-) But, she really loves Elijah more, so don't think I'm making her give up the name of her dreams or anything like that. Jacob is a family surname, so that's why it's a choice...although I understand the people who object because it's so popular. I absolutely love both Isaac and Isaiah, but people tend to run hot and cold on both of them. No one's neutral; they either love them or hate them.
Well that was nice of her not to use the name you love (and I think no less of you for it LOL).
If popularity weren't an issue, I'd probably like Jacob and Isaac about equally. Elijah would be a close second, but only because I prefer Elliot(t). And I don't know if I'd say I'm neutral on Isaiah, but it would be more like than love (only because it has strong ties to the few people I've known with the name, so it's harder to have an unbiased opinion).
Ooh, Isaac Matthew is lovely! GMV

I know Jacob is very popular but the others I don't really care for. I do love Matthew though!

All great names though, popularity aside. ;)
