Both my partner and I absolutely adore the name Isaac. However our surname is Hunt. Many people have pointed out the unfortunate wording that these names together creates. However we cannot find another name that we like or agree on. Every name seems to be second to Isaac and just doesn't feel right.

The only way that could possible get us around it is to double barrel his first name to Isaac-william.

Do you think this would still be inappropriate to call him? Or do you have any other suggestions?

I know a Thomas/Tom with your surname
William is good too

This is a wind up, surely!!

The surname Hunt seems to be unfortunate with alot of names but with having a step daughter I'm reluctant to use my maiden name as I don't want the family to feel segregated at all.

It seems we can't really have any name ending in a c or k... -.-

Back to the drawing baord I think I'm afraid! No way can you call a child Isaac Hunt.

Why don't you just call him Mike?

Prayingforsnow · 31/01/2016 09:40

I assumed it was a joke. (It is a well-known joke.)

Zac Hunt is just as bad

Pipistrella · 31/01/2016 09:39

What's your maiden name? Could you use that instead of or as well as Hunt?

No , given your surname Issac is not a good idea. I don't think Issac-William would work either. 1) because it's a bit of a mouthful and doesn't really flow very well and 2) because lots of people will just call him Issac and then you're back to your original problem.

Sorry I like your name choice but not with your surname.

I think the hyphenated creations are awful and that one is a real mouthful. The 'William' won't get used.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 31/01/2016 09:33

Totally inappropriate. Zachary?

Normandy144 · 31/01/2016 09:33

Have to say even though you love it I wouldn't. Can you double barrel your surnames to get around it?

DickDewy · 31/01/2016 09:33

No and no.

Hahaha!
