I don't like names that start with I if it sounds like the pronoun. And Isaiah is very much an old man in handmade sandals, toiling up a desert hillside. Also, where I live we say ie-ZIE-a but I believe it's usually ie-ZAY-a in the US - is that right?

Isaiah Christian is biblical all right, but if you're either Christian or Jewish, why not? If a child named Isaiah Christian doesn't come from a religious family, people might be confused for a while but they'd learn to cope.

In Australia, I kind of dislike Isaiah because it's pronounced ie-ZAY-ə whereas the Bible book/ character here is pronounced ie-ZIE-ə. To most people, it probably wouldn't matter but Isaiah (ie-ZAY-ə) just doesn't fit with the way Aussies say things.

However, if you're in America (or probably even the UK), it would be fine. I think then that it's a fairly uncommon but nice Biblical name. Isaiah Christian is quite Biblical but also nice.

I don't find Isaiah very interesting, as I've known a number. It's okay though. I think I like Isaac better, even if it's quite common.

Isaiah Christian isn't 'too' biblical, but certainly quite biblical.

I love the name Isaiah! A very underrated gem in my opinion. As for Isaiah Christian, I don't see it as too biblical at all.

It's very Old Testament prophet-y. TBH if I saw it written down on a class list in the UK I'd expect him to be from a very religious African family, as those are the only kids I've come across with those sorts of names, so far.

I like Isaiah. It's not bad at all.

I wouldn't call it too biblical since Isaiah is a common name and I know a few people with Christian in the middle. I would probably assume the bearer's parents were Christians with the two names together in a combo though.
