HelpIsannah?
Its a character in the book 'Johnny Tremain' and I know Paul Revere used it as a name for one of his daughters. The etymology seems a bit dicey- possibly a combination of Isabella and Susannah or maybe related to the name Ysanne. Either way it was used at least a little bit from the 1700s but has never hit the top 1000.
WDYT? I'm really quite liking it.

Would it be pronounced, "EEsanah"? I think that is really cute and unusual, yet not weird altogether. :-) You'd have a lot of explaining to do on how you came up with it though. If you can put up with that I'd say go for it, you have a good story!

It looks nice, that's for sure. And to say that it was the name of one of Paul Revere's daughters is cool in of itself...

I remember it from "Johnny Tremain" and was aware that it was the name of Paul Revere's daughter! I love it. I think it's quite pretty and charming. It would be so neat to meet an Isannah. I think I will suggest it to my daughter as a name for my future (I hope) granddaughter.
