If you're Czech, then go for it.

Crack on then!

Well I'd definitely go with the Czech spelling then.

I am Czech, but there's no Czech surname, as I took DH's English one

I would've assumed it was spelt incorrectly too but then I don't speak Czech.

If you have Czech heritage I think it's a lovely nod to it Smile

I also thought yooonique. If you have Czech heritage, and ideally if Isaak will have a Czech surname, go for it. I'd go for Isaac otherwise.

My first impression of it is 'yoonique'

Just looks like you've spelled it differently for the sake of it.

But that's a first impressions thought

Also used in England for centuries - there was a writer born in late 1500s called Izaak Walton.

Hate Izaak. Isaac is a much nicer spelling - and traditional. Why choose a spelling that people will get wrong all the time?

n0ne · 30/09/2016 13:34

Is there a reason for the non-traditional spelling?

WordGetsAround · 30/09/2016 13:33

Love it. Best spelling, I think.
