Isaac

原My granddaughter, who just had her fourth child on August 16, 2016 named him Isaac Jude.Her mother and I and her stepdad all think it is a great choice. We are glad that for their last child they gave him a biblical name. Isaac is a strong and wonderful name.Love that it means he will laugh, he will rejoice. We all in our family both sides have no other Isaac's in our families and I never knew anyone named Isaac so to us it it a different name. We realize it is a basically Jewish name but we love it and we are biblical Christians.

原I love it! I was in between Lucas or Isaac and decided on Isaac as this name is so unique and classic yet very masculine for a boy!

原I know HEAPS of Isaacs and all of them great people. I have never heard people nickname them 'Izzy' it sounds to girlish. But I love the name so I would definitely still use it.

原It's too common for my taste, but I like the nickname Izzy enough to encourage its use. Plus the meaning is sweet; "he will laugh."

原I like this name and if you like\love it as well and are considering using it for your little guy, some combos I have paired with it that you are more than welcome to take a look at are: Isaac JaredIsaac JeremyIsaac JordanIsaac LeoIsaac LeonIsaac LoganIsaac lucasIsaac MilesIsaac ParkerIsaac XavianIsaac XavierIsaac JeremiahIsaac ShannonIsaac RaimiIsaac LiamIsaac NolanThomas IsaacTheodore IsaacSebastian Isaac.

原Whenever I think of "Isaac", the word "Asimov" comes immediately into my mind. I am a devoted Asimovian, so this name is a very literary name to me. I am not religious, and am not a fan of the "Binding of Isaac" video game, so Asimov is the only Isaac that is noteworthy to ME.

原In my opinion, Isaac is a really cool name. I would use it for a fictional character.

原A fictional bearer of this name is Isaac (known as Robin in Japan), the main protagonist of Nintendo's 'Golden Sun' series.

原Isaac is a character in the movie based on the book of the same called 'The Fault In Our Stars'.

原Isaac is such a handsome, sexy, classic beauty of a name.

原Name of the day! One of my favorite boy names. So handsome and classic. Very smart sounding.

原Isaac is the main character in the game The Binding of Isaac, where he flees into a basement after his mother tries to kill him. "Isaac" means "he laughs", but ironically, Isaac is crying. Not exactly famous, but still an interesting fact. :>

原There is a character named Isaac in the movie Cloud Atlas, played by Hugh Grant.

原Name of the Day: May 2, 2013.

原It's a nice name, but its gotten too common. So sad, because it could've been such an classic and unique name! It seems like this type of thing is happening to more and more names these days :(

原Isaac Clark is the main protagonist in the Dead Space video game series!

原Isaac means laughter.

原Isaac Cline (1861-1955) was an American meteorologist who became famous for the deadly Galveston Hurricane of 1900.

原Despite the heavy damage from the hurricane in 2012, the name Isaac was not retired. Therefore, Isaac will be used again in 2018.

原Hurricane Isaac was a weak but destructive hurricane that hit the Caribbean and the Gulf Coast of the United States in August 2012.

原This is my little brothers name and it would have been mine if I was a boy. I call him Ike, Iggy, Iggy Piggy, Iggle Piggle or Iggledy Piggledy.

原Handsome boys name with a beautiful meaning.

原It's got a pretty good meaning, some nice history, and you get the cute nickname Izzy out of it, but I've met at least six Isaacs, and the sound isn't exactly pleasant.

原Eh it's ok but it sounds dorky. I've seen far worse, but I've also seen far better.

原Isaac Hanson is the "ugly one" from the early 90's boy band Hanson.

原Strangely, I have never met one Isaac. I like the name. I think "Izzy" would be a cool nickname.

原Great meaning and sound, but it's really popular :(

原I love this name. It's great for a little boy and a grown man :) It's adorable!

原Nice name! I also remember the song "Isaac" by Madonna off her album "Confessions on a Dance Floor". I also find interesting the biblical history/origin of Isaac. And to conclude, it's a very cool and unique name.

原Isaac Dian is the name of a character in the anime/manga/novel series Baccano.

原Famous bearers: all the students, past and present, of the University of Cape Town.When UCT was founded, there was an Afrikaans-medium university in a small town near by - the University of Stellenbosch. And you don't get many, if any, Jews who speak Afrikaans. That meant that UCT had what some people perceived as a disproportionately Jewish student body, so the students were given what people also perceived as a typically Jewish nickname: Ikey, short for Isaac. We all wear it proudly, including the growing numbers of Muslim students.

原Can be pronounce "I-sak" or "EE-sak". I know people of both pronunciation.

原For me, this name conjures an image of a gifted scientist or mathematician. It has a great meaning, too. If only it weren't so popular.

原Sir Isaac Newton was an English mathematician and physicist, considered the greatest single influence on theoretical physics until Einstein.

原My name is Isaac and it is not all that often that you will see me laughing. Many people have said that I am the most stoic person they have ever met. My name means "laughter", that's as much laughter as I need.

原Cool name for a boy! It's so great! The Bible names are such good ones.

原What a great, handsome name for a boy, with a great meaning too. And hey, sharing a name with arguably the world's greatest mathematician doesn't hurt either.

原This is a great name. If my wife and I ever have another son, his name will be Isaac. My son's name is Asher, which means "happy" and his little brother would be called Isaac, which means means "laughter".

原Isaac Allerton was one of the most prominent people to arrive at Plymouth Colony on "The Mayflower" in 1621. He was a fool with money but a hard worker.

原This is my favorite boys name. It sounds so smart.

原Aizak - Russian phonetic spelling of "Isaac".

原Pronounced eye-zick.

原Actually, Isaac was the son of Sarah and Abraham, not Hannah. When the angels said she would have a son, she laughed, hence the name Isaac.

原Isaac was the first child of the once barren Hannah. After he was weaned she took him to the temple and gave him back to the LORD just as she had promised she would. Isaac became a person who was very well respected.

原Pronounced as "Ee-zak" (shortly).

原The most famous Isaac is the son of Abraham, who -- at God's command -- is willing to kill his son. An ugly story. One of my grandfathers was named Isaac. Even if you thought it was God's command, why be willing to kill an innocent child?

原I absolutely love this name. I think it sounds nice and the meaning is great.

原This has always been my fave name. It has the best meaning and a good sound. I always associate it with cute little boys and like handsome people. It's the best!

原This is Jimmy Neutron's middle name on the Nickelodeon show.

原This is an incredibly brilliant name. Its meaning is undisputably great, and it is terribly cute for a little boy, and very masculine for an adolescent and adult. It doesn't seem to lose its youthfulness with age, either. I also somewhat fancy the nickname "Zak", myself.

原Clarke Isaac Hanson is one of the singers in the band Hanson.

原Isaac Brock is the lead singer of Modest Mouse.

原To build on the anonymous user of February 16, 2007, Asimov was also a professor of biochemistry at the Boston University School of Medicine, a polymath in the educational field, a very influential science fiction writer who wrote about the Three Laws of Robotics, the original Galactic Empire and subsequent Foundations, and other such classics, and a nonfictional writing master.Overall, a very intellectual name either way.

原An appropriate name for Isaac Asimov, who wrote several books on humor, and who loved to laugh.

原The name is actually from the 'he' form of the future tense of the verb לצחוק - 'to laugh' or 'to joke' in modern Hebrew. In biblical Hebrew it had more of the idea of 'to rejoice'. So, strictly speaking, Isaac (יצחק - pronounced 'yits-khak') in biblical times meant 'he will rejoice'. (The 'kh' sound is a guttural sound pronounced like the 'ch' in 'loch' or the German 'ch'.)To dreadfulxsorry - the word for laughter is צחוק, pronounced roughly 'tse-khok'. So, while the name Isaac is related to the word 'laughter' (or 'rejoicing' in biblical Hebrew), it actually means 'he will laugh' in modern Hebrew or 'he will rejoice' in biblical Hebrew. [noted -ed]

原From my studies, I've learnt that Isaac means "laughter". Either way, both are sufficient for this name. At the time, this is my all-time favorite name.

原One of the main characters on the television show Heroes is Isaac.

原I love the name Isaac. I have a cousin named Willem Isaac and his name suits him perfectly. He's seven and in his entire life, I have never seen him unhappy. He's definitely the happiest person I know.

原Isaac was the name of the main adolescent baddie in the 80s horror flick Children of the Corn. He was the freaky little black haired kid with the scary weird voice. (His right hand boy was Malachi -- another *great* name with a terrible reputation due to this movie.)It certinly isn't a diffficult association to overcome, but conjures bad Nebraskan corn-field memories for those of my generation. ((chuckles))Otherwise a strong, solid choice. I love it, personally.

原I'm not a very big fan of this name, but the lead singer in The Fray is named Isaac. I saw them in concert and got my picture with him. They are an amazing band.

原Isaac is a great name, sounds strong. I also love the meaning of this name. We all need laughter in our lives. It is increasing quickly in popularity.

原Isaac is a noble name with a nice meaning. It's not very common these days (at least where I come from). If I had a son I might call him Isaac.

原Singer Isaac Hayes is a famous bearer, known from singing the theme from "Shaft" and as the voice of Chef on South Park.

原I absolutely love the meaning of this name -- "he laughs." It makes me picture a sweet baby boy giggling with an adorable grin on his face. It's such a sweet image.

原Chris Isaak is a famous rock musician.
