Same era, but close to Isaac
These names follow Isaac's curve too, but we left them out above because they share a first letter or an ending with Isaac. Some parents like that echo; if you do, start here.
How these were chosen
Each suggestion's share of US babies has followed a curve close to Isaac's since 1880, and its recent number of babies is within about twelve times Isaac's, so the names are in the same league. Names starting with the same letter as Isaac or with the same ending are left out, so the names go together without matching. Spellings of Isaac itself are excluded.
