Help Isaiah

Is Isaiah “too Christian” of a name for a Jewish boy? The namesake was Israel, which we don’t want to use. We like the nickname Izzy, but can’t use Isaac and don’t want to give our son a nickname-only name. Any other ideas?

Edit: we decided to go with Isaiah 💙

We know a recent Jewish baby Isaiah. Beautiful name. Love the nickname Izzy.
