I know a couple under 5. I really like it!

My best friend's ds is called Isaac so I'm probably biased. Love him to bits.

Joeybee · 25/07/2017 23:09

I know one. It's a nice name and not too too popular which is good.

Crumbs1 · 25/07/2017 20:55

One aged 23 then David Millibands who was named after him. Then several younger ones - his old English teacher's son, one of his colleagues son's. It seems more popular now than 23 years ago.

Gorgeous name with a lovely happy meaning.

I have one and he is the only one I "know" although I do hear the name occasionally shouted in the park!

Susiethetortoiseshellcat · 25/07/2017 06:16

I love it but I love most biblical names. It does seem to be very popular at the moment but old testament names are quite trendy in general now. I know of 3 under 2 and 2 under 10.

Grin at Isaac Hunt.

I know 1. He's 2 and I love the name

MrsT2007 · 24/07/2017 21:18

I have an Isaac. Only one we know of his age....heard a few parents shout it out and about to boys that are younger than mine.

It's a classic biblical name but yes, check the surname 😆

creamcheeseandlox · 24/07/2017 21:17

Love biblical names. I wanted Isaac but dh didn't like it. We settled on Casper in the end which I adore and is one of the names of the three kings. Smile

Alcea · 24/07/2017 21:14

I don't know of any

Sophronia · 24/07/2017 21:10

TroysMammy or if your surname is Cox Grin

Justgivemesomepeace · 24/07/2017 21:09

I love it

Womble75 · 24/07/2017 21:06

It was on my shortlist for DS but went for Reuben in the end. Love a biblical name. Not many of them around here.

BewareOfTheToddler · 24/07/2017 21:06

I love it, though it wasn't my first choice originally. Ours is two. I knew one other (now about four) before DS was born, and I think we've met one since then, also a toddler, so not many. As a name, it always seems to get a positive reaction from people (although maybe they're just being polite Grin) - it's also a very recognisable name.

TheSeaTheSkyTheSeaTheSkyyyyyy · 24/07/2017 21:00

I don't know any, but I only know about 7 babies so...

Anyway I love it. Would have used it for my DS but it sounds weird in my OH's foreign accent so it was vetoed :(

JimmysMum1988 · 24/07/2017 20:51

LOVE IT

TroysMammy · 24/07/2017 20:41

It fine unless your surname is Hunt.

holeinmypocket · 24/07/2017 20:41

Just 1, aged 5. Love the name

Finola1step · 24/07/2017 20:41

I know 3 Isaacs. All aged 8-9. All lovely kids. Great name.

HotLadybird · 24/07/2017 20:40

Met a three month old Isaac yesterday. Very cute!

Chocolatecake12 · 24/07/2017 20:40

My Isaac is 10
I don't know any others
I still absolutely love the name.

IWantACheeseburger · 24/07/2017 20:38

I have one, he's 1. Lovely name!

FishWifeInAnotherLife · 24/07/2017 20:34

Isaac is a lovely name, although sadly I don't know any in real life.

mycatloveslego · 24/07/2017 20:31

There is 1 Isaac in my son's reception class. I think it's a lovely name. His brother is called Jacob.

insancerre · 24/07/2017 20:28

I know a few under 10
I do quite like it
