Isaac

[Susierocks]

Thoughts on this name? How popular is it? My ds's name is outside of the top 100 but am happy to have a more popular one ( people always ask twice when they hear his name despite it being a real, perfectly normal name with a long history!!)

Oh I love it, and I don't know anyone called it either.

Love it. Know 2, aged 5 and 3. Feels pretty popular.

I worry about the I suck teasing potential

I think it's a lovely name. I don't think they would be likely to be teased for it at all.

I have an Isaac, only one in his school, hasn't been teased for it at all. I love the name, obviously

My DN is Isaac, he's 5 and it suits him. Only one I know

It's one of my favourite names.

I have an Isaac aged 10
Only one in his school too!
In my eldest sons secondary school he says there are no Isaac's.
My ds has never been teased about the 'I suck' as that's not the pronunciation of the name.

we have an Isaac in our family. Love the name. He really suits it. He's the only one we know.

course DH calls him Chickenpants, cos why wouldn't you?

I know 3 Isaacs in the 3 to 5 age range. It's nice but popular.

There's a fair few round here. Seems to be the new Noah.

It is the best name ever (it might be my son's name). He has been the only one we know so far but I noticed there is another one in the parallel year R class to him.

Ds2 had one in his class. Dubbed I-suck by his delightful Year 6 peers.

Lovely name but I wouldn't go there.

I love it (but am biased ). Despite it being in the top 30 when DS was born, I only know one other, who's a bit older.

We thought he might end up nicknamed Zack at some point - but he hasn't yet. The I-suck thing had never occurred to me

Oh, and we have found his name gets a universally popular reception although people might just be being polite. It's always recognised straight away too. Only catch is quite a few people put "Issac" on cards, etc, which did surprise me.

Lovely name, lovely meaning.

Don't know any Issac's but it's a lovely name.

Don't know any Issac's but it's a lovely name.

There is one in my dsis primary class (I asked as I know none) and his dad calls him eyesy!

I have an isaac. He is also the only one in his school. im a teacher of 15 years and have only ever taught one.

bunty we call our isaac eyesy or ikey.

we call our isaac eyesy or ikey.

Oh I don't like either of those nicknames. That does put me off the name slightly, I must admit.

Oh the I-suck thing had never occurred to me either! Then again I'm a teacher as well and have never seen any child be bullied about their name.

Do you prefer it to Caleb?

Not keen due to the "I suck" thing.

Do you prefer it to Caleb?

Definitely! I don't like the name Caleb at all.
