    your opinion on isaac or izak

    We haved chosen the name isaac for our beautiful boy but I stress he will get teased with I SAC OR I SUC sometimes it is all I here with the name. Especially highlighted by our surname.
    What do you all think of the name .. think I will spell it IZAK so the pronunciation is clear and less mistakes .. honest replys appreciated
    Anyone know an Isaac??

    Definitely Isaac!! I much prefer traditional spellings and I doubt there will be any confusion with the pronounciation as it is a well known name.

    Izak seem to sound too "quick" to say when spelt that way IMO. Plus he will have a horrid time constantly correcting people on the spelling.

    Nomatter which way it is spelt though, if you're worried about teasing it would happen with either spelling. Kids won't be looking at how his name is spelt if they are going to come up with names.

    I honestly don't think that will happen with Isaac though - it's a gorgeous name. Maybe if you're worried about it with your surname then you need to think of some other options?

    I personally love the name isaac. I would keep the spelling as isaac otherwise it will probably just be spelt wrong constantly and it keeps it trendy but still traditional. Good luck

    I know another member of BB has a son Isaac. I prefer it spelt that way but then I am a bit traditional with names

    there are a heap of isaac's at the place where i work and i would never have thought of those two ways of teasing that name. i actually like the spelling izak but just cause it is differnt, not cause i think the other way would get teased. (sorry that isnt worded very well but you know what i mean )

    Definitely Isaac, and I've never heard of one being teased! Any name can be teased, or even not a name, a feature etc, so it cant' be avoided. (hopefully it just won't happen ) xo
