Ike

What do you think? This is my latest name crush. I'm working on trying to get my DH on board with it though... I'm not sure if I would use the full name of Isaac, or just Ike.

Also, would you think it was kinda trendy because of the whole presidential naming trend?

TIA!

    Ike is kind of cute but I don't like the name Issac.

    I like Isaac but not Ike. It sounds too close to a fake scream sound to be appealing to me.

    I can't get past the Ike Turner association so I don't like it. Isaac is a great name!

    LOVE Ike.

    Not crazy about Isaac.  I couldn't use it because Ike feels so nicknamey to me and I would feel the need for a "formal" name.

    Ike is the pet name for my brother Isaac. I could not imagine it as a full name.

    Isaac is on our middle name list for a boy. I would do Isaac with nn Ike but I don't care for Ike as a whole name.

    Never thought of Ike Turner! The only Ikes I could think of were Ike Taylor and Dwight Eisenhower.

    Thanks for the feedback ladies!

    I'm kinda worried about needing a formal name too! Our other top boy name is Hank, just Hank. So maybe I'm just a nn type person (although I don't like cutesy nn as full names too much).

    I like it.  I think you can use it as is (not as a nn for another name).

    I like Ike, and I like it as a nn for Isaac. Admittedly I like Ike more than I like Isaac, but I'm a big fan of making sure there's a full name.
