Bruno or Isaac?

[LavenderStar]

Need help for a boys name. Love the classics but for one reason or another most are not ideal (too popular, family members already using them, or sound ridiculous with surname). - ie Harry, William, Oliver, Hugo, James, George.

We also like Bruno but doesn't it sound Italian? Also worried about the Sacha Baron Cohen film coming out!

The other one I was thinking about was Isaac. What do people think when they hear this name? Very religious? I have also read on other posts that it is becoming very popular but I have not really heard it around much and it is not in the top 10 (or even tope 20 I don't think). And our surname begins with A - will it be too much of a mouthful? Oliver A in the opinion of some people is hard to say ...

LOVE Isaac ( Zac)
Bruno is def a dogs name lol

As long as your surname isn't Hunt, Isaac's fine.

Bruno = dog or Frank Bruno.

Love Bruno.

Not good for a blonde though, IMHO

Love Isaac and def don't think it's too 'out there'. Isaac George has got a lovely ring to it and I would say it's much more jacob than abraham. Bruno is nice but more daring imo

I like both, but prefer Bruno - I also used to know a lovely French one!

I would be wary of Bruno given up and coming Sacha Baron Cohen movie...

But it is a nice name.

oo Funkyzeit mit Bruno

I think people were more surprised at Isaac because according to them 'it didn't go with our other 2 kids names', I don't care what people think. We liked it and that is all that matters.

Plus Isaac isn't so surprising anymore, it was no. 52 in baby names 2008.

Don't give people a chance to have an opinion because they will!

Bruno Bruno Bruno Bruno!!!!! I was going to call our second DC that, but we had a girl. Isaac is lovely but pretty common now, I know 4, and I don't even know that many children.

Bruno is much better and more unusual too. I know loads of Isaacs [snore]. The only Bruno I know is my daughters hamster (named after Bruno Tonioli on Strictly). However, I must admit that I'm now gutted she called the hamster that as I'd quite like to use it for my next child...............

isaac is one of the nicest boys names there is imho. i love it.

Bruno, I love that name.

Isaac is definitely becoming more popular but still not that many around. I think it is the most gorgeous boys name ever.
Bruno is kind of cool but you'd need to be pretty confident to carry it off.
Isaac has my vote!

Bruno best name

Isaac with Joseph

My DS is Isaac. He is a very lovely boy. He is the only one in his school of 600 kids.

V cool name. Prefab Sprout even wrote a song about it - 'Little Green Isaac' -

''Isaac's a soft name/ It sounds like a pocketful of rain...'

Isaac- I adore this name,wish I had thought of it for ds...damn!

Isaac has become in last ten years much more popular, you hear it a lot in London now. There are 2 in ds's school.

Bruno, ime is very rare.

Danger is the Sacha Baron Cohen movie might make give it strong camp/German/fashionista overtones, not that that should matter but we're all sensitive about our baby's names! A

Bruno is Italian or French. I like it. Doesn't Nigella have a Bruno?

Another vote for Isaac, it's my favourite boys name (2 dd's so no opportunity to use it!).

Definitely Isaac!
Bruno sounds like it should be short for or a nickname for a different name - In the Spike category for me, although maybe it's the dog connotations.

Although now that I think of it, I'm starting to hear "Mr I-zak" a la Hiro in Heroes in my head Sorry, I'm no help!

Ha! I watch Heroes too! Hawoah Mr I-zak Mendez.
