If DD had been a boy she was going to be Joseph Ivo. I think Ivo Joseph works just as well!

Do you say it Eevo or Eye-vo?

I'd avoid a middle name starting with E, A, N or R

Ivo Adam might sound like Eve or Adam. Ivo Nathan might sound like I've an Athan.

It's a nice name, but presumably you've chosen it because you have a non English connection?

Is there a family name you really like, is Ivo the family name and you could just go with something you fancy.

James is always good.

RandomMess · 13/10/2020 18:21

I prefer either a one syllable name such as

John
James
Mark

Or 3+ syllables, particularly liked

Benedict
Alexander

Thanks so much for all your suggestions so far. Ivo is a name in my family tree that i've always loved (Jewish-European), I understand it won't be for everyone! We are also currently living in Europe and our older son has a similarly German / Dutch name (Ivo is more popular there, as well as in the Nordic countries). We will pronounce it eye-vo (like a male version of Ivy), but some do pronounce it ee-vo. James is an obvious choice, but I'm reluctant to use it as have many James' in my life already! @DappledThings Joseph is a lovely choice, but one of my best friends has this as her son's middle name. Lots of three syllable choices, which was my initial instinct. Ivo Rafael is a current front runner.

I love Ivo! There used to be one on Child of our Time.
How about:

Ivo Sebastian
Ivo Gabriel
Ivo Theodore
Ivo Benedict
Ivo Dominic
Ivo Crispin

I really like Ivo Raphael too though.

Thank you @itsjakeandamy some lovely ideas. Have added Ivo Sebastian to our list. Ivo Dominic is so nice, but Dominic is my ex's name, so don't think my DH would be pleased LOL.
