Does Isobel always get izzy?

[Lilysharp]

Just that really. Like Isobel not sure I'm so keen on Izzy as a nn

Not necessarily - can always request to be called Isobel .
I’ve heard it shortened to Iz , Belle too .

I know one Isabelle who's known as Belle

It’s more commonly shortened to Belle or Bella where I am.

We have a Bella.

I know a Bella, and several spelt Issi/ Issy which is less harsh looking than Izzy.

I only know izzy’s

I suppose it gives her options for the future of what she likes to be called. I kind of regret this with my first. I quite like Issy, i think you're right its a bit less harsh

I have a neice called Isabelle. Family always use the full version but as she's got older she and her friends have started to use Izzy but it's choice. Beware though if you go for Isabelle that nobody will ever use the correct spelling, there are so many variations of the name and you will be forever correcting them.

@Lilysharp I know more often of belles and Bella’s rather than Izzy, I even know of one isobel who goes by Ella .

Mine is Izo to her mates. I quite like that

When my DD went to school (11 years ago), 6 out of the 35 girls were called Isabella or Isabella. Two were Issy, one Ella, a Bella, a Belle and an Isabelle.

Normally Izzy in my experience.

My dd 2 is an Isabella. When I was pregnant I said we will call her Bella for short as I loved the name Bella but she's an Izzy as Bella never suited her personality. I wasn't keen on Izzy but it's grown in me!

I have an Isobel,she is still Isobel to us and was only when she was in her teens friends started to shorten it to izzy. Previous posters are right about spelling though , I never realised when we named her how often I'd have to correct the spelling of her name, most spell it Isabel or Isabelle but rarely Isobel unless they already know the spelling

Isa - like in Still Game.

I know a teenage Iso. Suits her.

All the Isabella's, Isobel's, etc that I've ever known have been shortened to Izzy. I think it's a nice nickname but I do prefer Issy.

Both of the isabelles I know don't use a shortened version.

Isobel! I don't know why my phone changed it to that!

I know four. Two are called Isobel, one Belle and the other one is Izzy. It’s the older two that don’t abbreviate.

I call my friend Isabelle, Bella

@Roseburn haha love still game... Off to see if it's on Netflix. (sorry not the point)

@Runnerduck34 I could have written your post!That's exactly my experience with my Isobel. Still love her name 30 years on.

The Isabelle in my family doesn’t shorten it

I have an isabella who was Bella til she decided at 5 she wanted to be izzie so that's what she is mostly. My friend has an Isobel though who has never bee shortened. I think mostly people go as how they are introduced and Isobel possibly less prone to shortening
