Isaac? Opinions please.

What do you think?

I love it but seem to be the only one in my family so it has been vetoed for me

I am surprised about all these different pronunciations. There is an Isaac in DS's nursery class and we always pronounce it 'eye-zuch'

don't like it

thanks everybody. We're really struggling to find any boys names we both like so if anyone has other suggestions then feel free to share them here.

I love the meaning, which is laughter.

love it

What a nice idea, I love it!!

I love it - getting v popular around here

and Eye- zac is just wrong! (Zuck most definately)

here

I like it. Nice name.

its a lovely name. Much nicer than the usual suggestions posted on MN.

Much nicer than the Hebrew version (Yitzak) (BellaBear points out something totally irrelevant to OP)

It was the name suggested by my Year 11 form (my son's surname is Cox) (say it out loud a few times)(using the eye-zuk pronunciation)

But I like it for other people's babies!

'I like Ike' - that's our ds. It is popular - I thought it was unusual when I chose it but I hear 'zac' everywhere I go now. I didn't realise I was riding the biblical zeitgeist. We call ds Ike, or Ikey, although if he wants to be Zac when he gets older I can cope with it. My family (south africans) say Eye-sic (stress on the first syllable). My mil has been known to call him Itzhak (alternative hebrew version) which sets my teeth on edge. We say Eye-zac, but I think that is usual here in Oz.

It was on my list 3 yrs ago, and I like it, but now I'm glad I picked something else, a more classic name. I'm not Jewish and I'm not at all religious. Haven't sniffed a bible in 30 yrs. I would have been pikcing it for the wrong reasons, its trendiness. OR perhaps I am over analysing!!

Love it. Have 3 month old Isaac James. Everyone comments on his name. Think it suits all ages. Can imagine teenage Isaac, grown up Isaac and old man Isaac. Think its trendy and classic at same time. Would it be wrong to call his bro Seth?
