Diminutives of Isaiah

We both love this name but I feel it's a bit heavy for everyday use.

Ise or Siah don't work for me, are there any alternatives I've overlooked?

Iz
Izzie - though generally female for Isabel or Lizzie

Ize - yes
Siah - doesn't work for me. Female singer who always hides her face (Sia)

Zac - not really isaiah, but Isaiah is very similar to Isaac

Zi /Xi

It's a tricky one....

I teach an Isaiah he goes by Izzy.

ifigoup · 01/01/2016 17:59

Si?

doceodocere · 01/01/2016 18:01

I had thought Zac. It's nice, but I'm not sure I like it quite enough.

What do you think about Ziggy?

Iz/Is?

Ice, Ike, Zay.

But the Isaiah I know goes by the whole name. He's 5.

LucyMouse · 01/01/2016 18:03

Si is fairly common on the US.
Are you thinking Zac as a nn for Isaiah? I'm confused.

Twitterqueen · 01/01/2016 18:04

Ziggy is nice, but it makes me wonder why you don't call him Sigmund instead?

doceodocere · 01/01/2016 18:05

IKE!!!!!

Love it, thank you!

twitter Sigmund has been vetoed by DH, as has Siegfried Sad

Lucy you're right that Zac is a bit of a stretch from Isaiah.

The other 2 dc have biblical names so Isaiah is a good fit.

Yep, ike is a good nn - I like that Smile

ingenvillvetavardukoptdintroja · 03/01/2016 10:52

Love this name. Dh is obsessed with being able to shorten names to 'something cool' I'm thinking Zye??
Ike also awesome!

I think we're set on Isaiah nn Ike! We had two others we were trying to choose between but couldn't decide, neither felt quite right. This is ideal.
