What's in a name?
Many people have been asking where the name Isaac came from.... It's not a long lost family name, rather just one we liked after going through thousands of name books, websites, etc (if you're looking for a name and want to know it's rank or any other interesting info, let me know - I know all the websites now!!) The name Isaac rose to the top after we then discovered the meaning of the name is "laughter". Laughter is something frequent in our house and something fundamental we try to do every day. Hopefully Isaac will enjoy his name for years to come.

In case you're interested...
...Isaac was chosen as the name for Abraham's son because when God told Sarah that she would be pregnant and concieve a child (at age 90+) she laughed at God. So, when it came to pass that Abrahama and Sarah became pregnant and had a baby boy, they named the child Isaac, meaning laughter.
I like the name you've chosen (not that you needed my approval). I think it's a great name.
