Hi all. Pretty girl names starting with an I? I don’t mind if you abbreviate it either like I... Rose or I....Mae

I like Iolanthe, Ione, Isla, Iona, Ianthe.

Apparently the original Imogen was Innogen in Shakespeare

I knew a girl called Italia growing up but I don't know if there was a back story to it.

There's Irene (not to my taste!), Ida, Iris, Ira..

Izetta (Zettie or Etta).

I have an ivy. She's nearly 8 and I love her name, she always gets compliments on it, albeit it's become more popular since Beyoncé!! I think ivy-rae is a great name. My second choice would be iris.

arolam · 13/08/2018 10:33

I know an Iren. It's pronounced i-REN, not eye-ren or irren and really suits the girl too. It's a name I wouldn't have looked twice at before.

Firtreefir · 13/08/2018 10:19

I love Imelda

violets17 · 12/08/2018 23:16

Since a little girl I always wanted to call a daughter Isobel after my grandma, it was such a lovely rarely heard name I thought it'd be lovely. Now however my DSD has 3 Isabelle/Isabella/Isabels just in her class, and another in her dance group, so I'm going to find another name for when my time comes

Ivy may.

Goostacean · 12/08/2018 22:57

Lurked then came back specifically to suggest: Inessa

Gorgeous name IMO, softer than Ines/Inez, faintly exotic but not unpronounceable... LOVE it, will be insisting it’s at least on shortlist for DD if and when she materialises!

RavenWings · 12/08/2018 22:56

Oh definitely don't do Rose or Mae, they're both such bland, filler middle names.

Names:
Irene
Ilsa
Isadora
Iliana
Imelda
Indira
Indah

Redsharks · 12/08/2018 22:52

Oh, and Ilyssa. LOVE Ilyssa.

Ilyssa Rae
Ilyssa Dee

Frogscotch7 · 12/08/2018 22:50

Ita
Ilana
Ilaria
Isabel

Redsharks · 12/08/2018 22:48

Love the name Iris, and think Iris Rae sounds lovely.

I love the middle name Dee if you're after something short. Ivy Dee or Isobel Dee. Or Isabella Rae sounds lovely.

Second how much I love Ingrid too. And Ivy.

dinosaurkisses · 12/08/2018 22:47

Rose and Mae are both very very commonly used both as middle names and as the end of a hyphenated name - they’re the Millenial versions of Jane and Louise.

Might not bother you, but if you want something even slightly unusual they’re both names to avoid.

No don’t want rose or mae haha, I like Rae as a middle name or a double barrel name with an I name first.
