Obviously, we haven't picked a boys name and I just started considering this name but, how would you spell this name?
Isaac or Issac?
I naturally spelled it Issac but when I looked into the name a bit more, it seems that Isaac is the "normal" way to spell the name (i.e. that is how it is spelled in the bible, etc). Do you know anyone with this name, if so, how do they spell it?
Thanks!!!
Re: Isaac versus Issac?
I know a couple Isaac guys.
Two A's. Isaac.
Issac, to me, sounds like it would be pronounced like "iss-ack".
This is exactly what I was going to say. I love the name Isaac - I wish we could use it! It's just too close to Zachary though

This. Issac seems like "Is-sack" rather than "Eye-zac."
This. It should be two A's.
I've only ever seen it spelled as "Isaac."
Otherwise, phonetically it'd sound like "Is-sac" (which is just weird).
Ditto. With the spelling you were going with, it'd be Is-sack.

coming from someone with a "misspelled" name (staci instead of stacy) i am more partial to isaac...having to correct the world my entire life is tiring. being different is definitely a good thing, though, so you just have to settle with one and go with it!
good luck!
This. Two s's in a new word make a hissing sound -while Isaac is a name and has a previously established pronunciation. My friend's grandma misspelled her name on her birth cert. form and instead of being Roseann like mom meant, she is Rossann. Drives her nuts on official papers, etc. and she signs her name the way it was originally intended to be spelled on other stuff. She's in the military, so can't quite escape her 'official' name.
