Which pronunciation of Isaiah do you use - eye-ZAY-uh or eye-ZYE-uh? I've always said eye-ZAY-uh, under the influence of the States via BtN, but it turns out that everyone I know here would say eye-ZYE-uh (must be the normal British way). Of course it's a very rare name here, so it's quite hard to gage.

uhm

Probably because this is one of the few names i pronounce the Dutch way, i pr it i-sai-ah (i as 'ey' as in Hailey), and with a soft s, instead of a z sound...:)

Edited to make things more clear
