They're OK names, if albeit, popular. I prefer Isobel "Ee-so-bell" and I love Zoe. I used to love Braeden without the y (which I think is more masculine) but I see that because of the popularity of Aiden, which then caused people to make all sorts of variants, there's alot of hate gaining toward that trend. James isn't my taste just because I don't like names that end in S. And something to consider are the sexual connotations with the initials of B.J., if you know what I mean.
Honestly...I think they are both very trendy right now...but Isabella is a classic name, IMO. I like Isabella Zoe. Brayden...well, I'd stay away from that personally. It's just SO overly trendy right now and I don't see it becoming timeless or classic.
Love the girl name, yes, those are really popular but they're two of my favorite names so I don't care lol. I don't like Brayden at all but I love James.
See, and this is just my personal opinion, the "aden" names become more tolerable without the "y".
Apparently Braden and Caden are legit names (Scottish, I think)...though I'm not sure if that's why they are so popular. Brayden with the y makes me think of Bray, which is the sound a donkey makes.
Isabella Zoe is fine; Brayden James is a trainwreck. Brayden is a downright hideous name to begin with (the ugliest, IMO, out of the Aidan names), and it's tryndee to boot. Save your son's individuality and leave it! I'd go with James. It'd make a much better (read: classy, regal, sophisticated) sibset with Isabella and it'd never go out of style (unlike, you know, Brayden).

Brayden is nms, but at least it's spelled in an appropriate way. James is a good middle name (slightly biassed - it's my top mn choice!)
Congrats!!
