It reminds me of Martin Luther King, and of Martin Luther, too. I never really liked the name, it sounds so lifeless somehow.

I much prefer Lothar.

It's completely tied to Martin Luther King, in my eyes. Even though he's a fantastic namesake, I prefer politics to be kept away from children's names. Jmho. Isaiah Luther would be better.

Lu (Lou) is about the only nn I can think of.

I'm kind of reminded of Lex Luthor, but not so much that it taints the name for me. I'm more reminded of Martin Luther King, Jr, or Martin Luther.

I like the name. It's classic and it has a history, while still being unusual nowadays. I like it as both a fn and a mn but prefer it, somewhat, as a fn. Luther Isaiah is a nice combo.

I think of Martin Luther

And while he was a good man in some ways, he did some horrible things. Its not really my style. I think that there is quite a bit of teasing potential in it. I would use Luke as a nn, though. Luther Isaiah is a fine name, though I prefer it as a middle name. Joseph Luther/Josiah LUther/Benjamin Luther.

I don't care for it. The th makes the name seem odd to me, the way the tongue goes with those letters. While I don't care for Isaiah (I don't find it masculine toned), Luther Isaiah does flow.

I think Luther would be best as a middle name. I think it sounds great, but since I'm Catholic, I probably wouldn't use it. ;)

Luther Isaiah sounds fine to me. I think Benjamin Luther would be nice, too.

Luke Perry's real name is Luther. Maybe Lu/Lou?

While I am sure that Luther by itself is a really nice name, I cannot help but thinking of Lex Luther, the archenemy of Superman. I am sure the kids at school will think this as well.
