[Opinions] Taylor refined?
I've never thought of Taylor as being in any way refined as a given name. It's in the preppy trendy modern category.
Meanwhile, Isaiah is a pretty old school name and far classier than Taylor ever would be imo. Taylor's in no way refined as far as I'm concerned. Grace has some class, but is currently trendy. Isaiah's gone through phases, but is kind of common lately. Honestly, I'd think "Taylor" would be the one that doesn't really fit the pattern in this set. Then again, I'd also think of Ethan as trendy (and ugly imo... always makes me cringe for some reason) rather than classy, refined, etc. and I'm not sure how old or modern it is, but I never heard it on anyone except for 1 little boy (whose elder sister has a rare name too) until the last few years when there seemed to be this sudden boom of Ethans popping up everywhere.

Maybe not so much refined, as it is trendy, but I see that being more of the case if they had a daughter named Taylor. Given her older son's middle name, Grace and Thomas would've been a better pairing. I do prefer Isaiah to Taylor and know that it has plenty of history especially because of its biblical background. I just think that as a whole, the names aren't exactly ones I would see fitting in a sibling set. As I said though, it's not my baby and knowing what some celebrities name their children, it could've been 100x worse.Ethan and the others mentioned were just the first names to come to mind. I, too, don't care for it as, to me, it comes across as whiny.
