The name Ahmed being mentioned in isaiah 42 is clear evidence for all peoples, Jews, atheists, Christians, Hindus etc.

What I’m saying is that Ahmad is not a completely arbitrary name for Muhammad to have that he just selected to fulfill a supposed prophecy. Ahmad is a name connected to Muhammad. Muhammad didn’t have some prophetic second name of Ahmad. Ahmad is the same name as Muhammad.

But the connection between Muhammad and this verse is completely arbitrary, especially because the word in the verse isn't even Ahmad.

The Tanakh has nothing to do with Muhammad having the name Ahmad. Muhammad didn’t select the name Ahmad, and he certainly didn’t select it because of the Tanakh. Ahmad is a name linked to the name Muhammad similar to Bill and William being linked names.
