I've never seen it spelt Izaac. It will just look daft and wrong.

ISAAC. Don't ruin a good name by misspelling it.

CommonNortherner · 23/12/2009 14:11

Sort of reminds me of that loo roll with the z

Sorry, have to agree that "Izaac" just looks illiterate; that sounds really rude and I am sorry, but Isaac is such a lovely name; you can still call him Zac!

I have an izaac and we like it that way so what? Silly is people who judge and think they know it all...

To be fair a lot of languages like arabic ect where the name is really origionally coming from (bible name ) they spell it with a z. As it will always be prounounced izak like that. Isaac they mispronounce it to ashaq

Zombie thread!

Just use the normal spelling, you can still call him Zac. ‘Creative’ misspellings aren’t a good way to be different, if you want to be different choose a more unusual name. Zachary is lovely as well, if you prefer it I’d go for it.

Ugh sorry

I know a number of Izaac’s as well as Isaacs. It’s not wrong or chavvy as some might be suggesting. One of my best friends who is highly educated and very middle class called her first born Izaac. It is purely a matter of choice and preference.
Use whichever one you prefer OP.
