Isais

It sounds like Isaiah but with an 's' at the end. Just came across it and DH & I both like it. Upon researching I found it's a varient of Isaiah, it's completely obscure and used mostly as a last name. And it's also a type of moth. So I thought I'd get some random opinions. Isais - nice? or too made up sounding?

Having had a hard to spell and pronounce maiden name, I tend to shy away from names I don't know how to pronounce at first glance. If it's eye-zay-is, I don't think I like it. If it;'s more of a spanish pronunciation like ee-sigh-ees, I could be on board, maybe.

Edit: Spanish would be more like ees-ice with a bit of punch on the I. I can't figure out how to write it.

To me, it sounds too made-up-ish. And I'm not a fan of names that I can't pronounce with one glance. It drives me nuts when people mispronounce my name, and I have a "normal" one.
