Robin or Isaac

[Mrsmackie]

I'm 37 weeks pregnant and expecting a boy. DH and I have been really struggling with names this time round (found it easy choosing one for our daughter - Alice) Anyway, our two current faves are:

Isaac Alexander (surname Mackie)
Robin Alexander

Any thoughts?

Issac

Issac

Isaac :) That's my sons name

But Robin is sweet too

Looking like Isaac the favourite so far - think it is my preference too!

I have an Isaac too and it is a great name

he is 3 so at the moment we call him "Ikey" a lot - no doubt he'll ditch that when he's older but it's v sweet at the moment!

Just get used to lots of people spelling it Issac though ;) (actually it does make me laugh that something like 41 people actually named their son that in 2009 - I can understand spelling it wrong if it's not your son's name, but when you actually give him that name then ....

I like both names, but think Isaac goes better with Alexander, and also matches Alice better.

Isaac definitely.

If you call him Robin his initials will be RAM

Isaac. Love, love, love it.

Don't like Robin at all.

Ha Ha - my initials are actually RAM anyway so maybe don't want two of us with the same. I am definitely going to plump for Isaac I think. Know what you mean about the spelling Tamasine - but guess I will have to get used to the idea that some people will spell it incorrectly.

I much prefer Robin.

Isaac definitely.

A vote for Robin here. Give him a chance! If you stare at the word Isaac for a while it starts looking really weird for a name. IMO

Isaac definitely.

Robin

though Isaac is nice too

robin

I love both of them.

I wouldn't be able to choose!

I like both but think Robin has the edge, as it's a bit cuter!

Isaac

Isaac! Similar to Isaiah which we love and may call DS.

Robin may be cute but what about when he's a grown man? I know an adult Robin who is quite mortified by his cutsey name and is always called Rob.

I think it's great for a man too and know a couple of v 'manly' adult Robins - but like you say, there's always the Rob option.

Well, since the two Robins I know are both grown up (one a 6' 4" keen rugby player), I guess I don't consider it cutesy! One sometimes uses Rob, the other always Robin.

I love Isaac - personally, it's one of my top choices.

Robin is nice too, but I've only know two Robins in my life - one was wonderfully theatrical and camp and the other was a furry little pony!

I like both,but I'd go with Robin.

Isaac definitely.
