2 "bible" names together....?

We have an Isaac, some family members call him Isey and he wants to be known as Zac now as he announced the other day . Ike and Isa are also well known shortenings but you will probably evolve your own!

We get Issac quite a lot, even from family! It amazes me but I'm pretty much used to it now. I think Isaac Joseph is fine, our Isaac has DH's name as a middle name and that is a (lesser) disciple's name so I suppose it is biblical! We really liked Noah for DS2 but decided against it as they would both be a bit old testament together.

I have dts - Isaac and Thomas. One new testament, one old. They are 5yrs and I was only told this a few months ago. I ad no idea. I am not religious at all and DH, asian, is bhuddist.
We always get Isaac spelt wrong. NN would ne Ike, Issy or Zac possibly but we have an unrelated nn and always call him Isaac if using that and no shortened vrsions. Aparently at school his best buddy calls him Eyes.

Lovely names.

Wouldn't worry about the biblical thing.

We have an Isaac and it's fairly common for people to spell it 'Issac' but I'm not too bothered. Nobody else shortens his name and we do generally call him Isaac, but occasionally we refer to him as Ike or Ikey-Jim (he's Isaac James). That's just us though.

bread if that was aimed at me let me say I did not choose those nicknames.
his brothers did. if that's ok

I love both those names and I love how you are spell them.

I love Joe and Zac too. Zee or ZeeZee is a bit twee to me.

They're both very lovely names - if ever I have another son I'm pretty sure I'll go with Isaac.

DS has a double-bible name (and I'm really not religious) - I ummed and ahhed a bit for that reason but I think they sound good together and I wouldn't change them.

I'm thinking, however that 3 names would be too much.

and definitely don't choose Garreth/Gabriel/Gregory Isaac Joseph - he'd be a GI Joe!

I would notice, but I wouldn't comment or think anything of it.

Judas is probably best avoided no matter what the other name is....

I love Isaac Joseph! It is a lovely combination, and I don't think that anyone would hear it and think about the religious connection. It seems that a huge amount of both girls and boys names appear somewhere in the bible anyway so I don't think it should be an issue.

I don't have an Isaac (although it is on our shortlist, as is Joseph!) but if we do choose to go with it then ours will be Isaac Charlie.

biscuit

also no to:

Adam and Eve

Judas & Jezabel

The bad combos

Cain and Able
Mary and Joseph
Jesus and Judas

your names are lovely

I'm 27 weeks with ds1. He will be Isaac David. Very non religious here. My guesses are nn will be zak.

Isaac Joseph is lovely :-)

They go really well together.

Isaac Joseph is lovely, but Joseph Isaac even nicer IMO :)

I think its a lovely name and don't think anyone would even point out the two are biblical and I would just look at them strangely if they did anyway lol

Apparently the name we have chosen for our baby (due Nov) is directly related to the name of our 3 year old son in the bible but we don't care, still going to use it! If baby turns out to be a boy that is, haven't found out the sex!

We are not at all religious and have two boys with double bible names, we have a Levi Reuben and a Saul Elijah. At the end of the day they are names in their own right as much as they are from the bible.

we call him I-zee (or Zizi - ZeeZee)

misspellings have been Issac or even Isac ( but these are only misspellings to us!)

I have a theory that people who know of the name Issachar (he was one of Jacob's 12 sons and brother to Joseph with the coat) mix it up with Isaac, hence the misspelling.

actually OP in the Old Testament Isaac is Joseph's grandfather, so I think that is quite a nice connection between the two names.

(Isaac was Jacob's father)

Isaac Joseph is lovely.

Isaac means laughter.
DS5 is Isaac Benjamin and lives up to his name - he is a happy boy with the most adorable cheeky grin!

other ideas:
Isaac Joshua

Isaac Daniel

Isaac David

Isaac Timothy

Isaac Reuben

Isaac Thomas

Isaac Nathan

btw all our kids have Biblical names, on purpose.

I think they go together really well. I don't have an Isaac but it was on our shortlist for ds4 and we nearly used it as we both love it but in the end went with a different biblical name - in fact he has three names all of which after in the Bible somewhere but we chose them because of the associations they had for us. We do occasionally get comments but maybe that is because all four of them have Old Testament names.

Lovely they go really nicely together. I gave DS a 2 bible name and am not particularly religious. Iv had the odd 'oooo very biblical' comment but most people say it in a positive way. I love Joshua Isaac for future DS so may go again with the double bible lol

I have an Isaac, never shortened to anything, but I suppose it could be Zac. we do get the Issac spelling a lot.

It is a great name, familiar but not common, great on a little kid and still works for high court judge

lovely!

I have an Isaac. Same spelling mistakes as peacy plus Isacc. Not really a problem though. Not used a nickname, he said he didn't like Isey or Zac when dh tried those. I have a Jacob too, so we get the 'bible names' comment sometimes. I think Isaac Joseph sounds lovely.
