William

personal preference - Isaac (shortened to Zac?) as in spite of its revival I find William old-fashioned IMO

William. Much nicer imho.

Isaac. My DH and I had this potential problem when I was pg with DD. We agreed to use both but couldn't agree on whether to be Isaac William or William Isaac.

In the end the baby turned out to be DD so it was all irrelevant. 5 months later my BIL used William for his son so took that name or of the equation for and potential 3rd child. Grin

I love Isaac.

Both nice. I'd go for William though as it's a bit more timeless.

Montsti · 18/01/2016 12:29

Definitely William which I love! Not keen on Isaac at all....I do like Zac though but nn. for Zachary...

Herrerarerra · 18/01/2016 12:31

Hard to choose, both are lovely but William edges it for me - also love it shortened to Will or Billy.

iamEarthymama · 18/01/2016 12:36

Isaac! My Isaac is gorgeous!

Though I know a lovely William who always gets his full name, which suits him perfectly!

Why don't you wait until you see this little boy and then decide?

You will know when you see him. Smile

Upthenoonoo · 18/01/2016 12:37

William without a doubt. Don't like Isaac at all.

MumOfTheMoment · 18/01/2016 12:41

Think about nicknames - I know a couple of Isaacs and they get shortened to Issy and Eye-zee rather than Zac. William can be Will, Bill, Billy even Willy if you want Grin

RingUpRingRingDown · 18/01/2016 12:50

William

toffeeboffin · 18/01/2016 12:54

Love Issac.

And it's cool because you can't shorten it.

toffeeboffin · 18/01/2016 12:54

Oh yeah, actually Zac Blush

Bluesand1 · 18/01/2016 13:01

Thanks! Not a fan of Willy. Open to bullying??

William nn Will

Isaac is lovely but I don't love the nn Zac.

Lebkuchenlover · 18/01/2016 13:26

Isaac is nice but don't like Sac or Zac as a nickname at all. I'd just stick to the full name, Isaac.

William is quite nice too but the Will/Willy teasing potential would put me off.
