Tim -

My turn to scratch my head, (or beard), but is that not exactly as I said?
To quote myself, (the name Isaac) ... "born by the son of Abraham.."

A pleasant example of the movement of the name being exclusively Jewish in
medieval times to to-day having a usage in western Christian countries is
the name of the Dean of St. Paul' Cathedral, Isaacs.

Yours Aye Andrew Sellon East Anglia
Let the Dean and Canons lay their heads together and the thing will be done.
Rev. Sydney Smith 1771-1854, Canon of St. Paul's. (On a proposal to surround
St Paul's with a wooden pavement).
