Opinions on the name Isaac?

Too old fashioned?
Or a lovely classic?

Lovely classic!

I love it - a great choice.

A lovely, strong name. It's definitely not "too old fashioned" as it's been in the top 100 (including in and out of the top 20) for years now. Old testament names are really in. It's classic rather than trendy though.

Lovely

It is classic but certainly not dull.

It is an absolutely lovely name - go for it! You don't need validation from anyone here!

Lovely name but secondary teacher here and there are loads! I have 3 in one class alone, probably 35+ in school.

Lovely classic. I love some of the biblical names not Abishag. Like Gabriel, Seth, Jedediah, Joel, Jonah. Also Tamar, Delilah for girls.

I love it!

Fabulous name, in my top 3. Only ever taught one, in 2001!

My sons name, it means he who laughs and hes a happy soul! I love it but I am bias.

i'd keep it on the reserve list unless religious.

My son is an Isaac. It's a lovely name. People frequently misspell it as Issac which annoys him but other than that it is great

Oh wow didn't know it was so popular! My Isaac is the only one in his primary school

Love

Lovely lovely name. I’m a retired nanny and one of my favourite little charges was an Isaac, sweet little angel 😇

Lovely name! I've always loved it.

I'm also a secondary school teacher but it's not that common in my school. The odd few. It must depend on your area.

Really popular where I am. I work with kids and it’s not an unusual name at all.

Very hillbilly and 19th century imo

We know one who got teased with I suck a few times. It also often gets misspelled.

Lovely name - a classic but also modern.

Though so many people misspell it as Issac, from all walks of life.

My first thought is that you were Jewish. Nothing right/wrong about that, just being honest that its my 1st thought with the name.

I love it and wish I'd used it for my DS.

I know a few and none of them are Jewish!

I think it's a really lovely name. However we have one in the family and I find it doesn't flow very well when you say the name in conversation. I find it gets pronounced incorrectly where I come from too so people tend to say Izuk. Plus no one can ever seem to remember it, when it comes up in conversation people nearly always pause as if trying to remember the name before saying it.

How else do you pronounce it?

OP, I love the name and haven't met an Isaac for such a long time. Did remind me of a lovely Isaac I used to work with many years ago.
