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. :>

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.

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

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.
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.

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.
