Will get called Isaac Hunt when older

DaisyPond - I do apologise, they are both spelt Isaac. Should have proof read before I posted.

I love it! I have one so biased. People in our area tend to pronounce it as 'I - Zak' so it doesn't really sound like I suck.

overandunder9 · 14/06/2020 13:12

I’ve taught a few. All been known as ‘I suck’. Sorry.

Grufallosfriends · 14/06/2020 13:29

I don't like the sound at all, sorry. I can imagine kids teasing with 'I suck'. There are far nicer names imo

Grufallosfriends · 14/06/2020 13:32

I also think people might misspell it as Issac.

CharlieBoo · 14/06/2020 22:29

One in my daughters year 6 class.. I’m not a fan

My little boy is Isaac, I love it.
Haven't come across any other Isaacs so far.
Mh OH chose it, and love that it means 'he who laughs'
We don't abbreivate his name but I can imagine he may well be Zach as he gets older and has a choice in a NN.... Which I think is a pretty cool NN.

Ducky1900 · 15/06/2020 23:30

@Grufallosfriends yes!
A few people spell it like this for my son and its really annoying!!

SephrinaX · 15/06/2020 23:45

I Love it. Was my top boy name choice, until DH best friend unknowingly nabbed it first!

SierraHotel · 15/06/2020 23:54

My godson is Isaac. He's the only one I've met, he's 4.

Sojo88 · 15/06/2020 23:55

Love it

Giganticshark · 16/06/2020 00:18

Yuuuuuuuk. Big nay.
Issy! Ha

Kote · 16/06/2020 00:21

Love it! My favourite boys name

helpasisout · 26/06/2020 00:25

great name, I like it too

Libmama · 28/06/2020 18:22

I have an Isaac!! He’s more commonly called Ikey though but he’s still only little, I imagine it will get shortened to Ike as he gets older.

grufallosfriends · 28/06/2020 20:05

I don't like it at all. Sounds so harsh and like I suck.

mamablondie2 · 28/06/2020 20:15

I love it! Was our boys choice but I have girls. It’s classic but not boring. Great namesake (the scientist) and biblical without being too ‘religious’. I think it’s great x

Yes, its fashionable with out being over used.
