Eesa for a boy

[sakoon]

We want to name our boy Eesa. Its the arabic name for Jesus. Just want to know what you guys think of it. Some people spell it as Issa. But Eesa sounds more precise to me as you have to extend the '''e'' sound.
We are Muslims and our names are also arabic and from the Quran. I came across Eesa and me and my husband like it as its pretty easy to pronounce.

I think Eesa ia a great name.
I like the spelling.

[smiles4u]

I prefer the spelling of Eesa rather than with the ' I '

[myson]

i like it!

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but may I ask, why a name meaning Jesus if you aren't christian? I do like it but.

[Oorki Galoorki]

Isa is a very highly esteemed Prophet.

many people don't realize this but Muslims also believe in Jesus, he is one of our Prophets just like Muhammad (peace be upon them)

I wasn't sure I liked it til I knew its meaning and why you guys have chosen it and now I think it's just beautiful, either with the Ee or the I.
