Hi everyone,

I'm not particularly religious but really love the name Isaac with Joseph as middle name.... Only just realised these are 2 biblical names.... Do you think this would work or would this be constantly picked up on?!

Also, does anyone have son called Isaac? What nn's have come of it? And are spelling mistakes a big issue?!

Thanks! :)

Zac
Ike
Isa (pronounces Ees-a)

Both lovely names and I certainly didn't think "weird, 2 bible names" when I read your post!

Both lovely names. I have an Isaac and we get the very occasional spelling mistake but most people know that it's a double 'a' and not a double 's'.
We tend to call ours just 'Isaac' or sometimes 'Isey'. I have heard of others shortening it to Ike .

I don't think that anyone would particularly notice.

Lots of bible names have been widely used in the UK for centuries (Joseph more so than Isaac I think), so I don't think 2 together would really attract attention.

Thanks for reassurance! :)

I don't think anyone will bat an eyelid.

It's fine - I doubt anybody would give it a second thought tbh.
