Robin or Isaac

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and expecting a boy. DH and I have been really struggling with names this time round (found it easy choosing one for our daughter - Alice) Anyway, our two current faves are:

Isaac Alexander (surname Mackie)
Robin Alexander

Any thoughts?

Ha Ha - my initials are actually RAM anyway so maybe don't want two of us with the same. I am definitely going to plump for Isaac I think. Know what you mean about the spelling Tamasine - but guess I will have to get used to the idea that some people will spell it incorrectly.

Isaac. Love, love, love it.

Don't like Robin at all.

Isaac definitely.

If you call him Robin his initials will be RAM Confused

I like both names, but think Isaac goes better with Alexander, and also matches Alice better.

I have an Isaac too and it is a great name

he is 3 so at the moment we call him "Ikey" a lot - no doubt he'll ditch that when he's older but it's v sweet at the moment!

Just get used to lots of people spelling it Issac though ;) (actually it does make me laugh that something like 41 people actually named their son that in 2009 - I can understand spelling it wrong if it's not your son's name, but when you actually give him that name then .... Confused
