Sibling nicknames

[CoffeeCoffeeAndLotsOfIt]

I'm pregnant and thinking of names for dc2.

Already have a ds called Oscar.

If dc2 is a girl my dh and I both love Isobel. For a few days I thought "great, we have a girls name decided".

Then, I realised that they may end up called Ozzie and Izzy by their friends.

So, does this combination sound ridiculous? Honest opinions appreciated. Thanks all.

I know an Oscar with a sister called Isabelle. They are known as Oscar and Isabelle. The Ozzy/Izzy thing has never occurred to me.

Thanks Raines

Anyone else? Honest opinions welcome - don't be shy

I know quite a few oscars and have never known one be nicknamed Ozzie, if that helps.

I know two Oscar's who go by Oskie because their parent's didn't like the nn Ozzie!

I like Belle as a NN for Isobel - Oskie and Izzy or Ozzie and Belle!

I like Oskie as a NN, I really don't like Ozzie - so will be trying to steer any NN's away from Ozzie

Slightly off topic, I have a dog called Oscar, and somehow in having a dog you have a little more freedom to call them ridiculous nicknames, having said that though (other than my Dad calling him Baron Otto Von Humpin) Oscar is just not something that shortens or evolves into anything else very easily. Oscar has been and at 9 years old I think always will be, Oscar. HTH

Ozzie is not really a common nickname for Oscar though, so very easily avoidable I would have thought.

You may end up with Oscar and Izzy, but Ozzie and Izzy seems unlikely.

Ozzie and Izzy is actually quite sweet I think (as nicknames, would be awful as given names). It sounds like a Cbeebies program.

Thanks everyone

I'm feeling a bit better now about the combination.

Picking baby names is hard.
