Alice or Ava (with Alice marginally ahead, it's a classic!)

user1493494961 · 04/02/2021 18:12

It's a lovely list, I think I would choose Alice.

alexdgr8 · 04/02/2021 18:15

Alice or Sophia or Grace

Nicknames are often only tenuously linked to the name. Isla shortening to Issy seems strange but to Is not so much, so it kind of makes sense.

Joolsin · 04/02/2021 18:18

Daisy. Best by far! Then Isla, then Grace. I don't like the others.

GintyMcGinty · 04/02/2021 18:30

All nice

Prefer Sophie

Cressie2 · 04/02/2021 18:33

Isla

PuffItsGone · 04/02/2021 18:38

Isla. And definitely wouldn’t worry about the Izzy comment, that’s the only time I’ve ever heard of that and doesn’t seem a natural nickname to me

You don't really have much control over nn.

If you name your DC something quite unusual and hard to shorten, kids will find a way to make a related nn.
it used to be adding a z to the first syllable in my day, so you'd get nn like Kaz, Caz, Mollz, Linz etc.

Isla

Love Alice and Grace

NorbertMeubles · 04/02/2021 18:56

Alice is beautiful

AugustRose · 04/02/2021 19:00

Alice or Isla

Daisy829 · 04/02/2021 19:03

Alice

CormoranStrike · 04/02/2021 19:35

Grace

Opticabbage · 04/02/2021 20:01

I swear every other little girl is called Isla around here. That's probably why that one family changed it to Izzy!

BatleyTownswomensGuild · 04/02/2021 20:46

Alice ❤️

danascully96 · 04/02/2021 20:48

Isla and Sophia are the best to me Smile

Fireflies33 · 04/02/2021 20:58

Alive is my favourite

Fireflies33 · 04/02/2021 20:58

Or even Alice!

ButtonMoonPie · 04/02/2021 21:01

Isla is lovely. I would have picked it but my niece has that name

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 05/02/2021 05:39

Daisy!

Minnie6078 · 05/02/2021 05:52

Daisy

Chunkymenrock · 05/02/2021 06:13

Sophia if I had to, but they're all so common, plain and unremarkable I'm afraid.

Amdone123 · 05/02/2021 06:38

Isla is lovely.
People say it's so popular, but I don't know any. Never taught one either.
Though I do know an Ayla, which is lovely, too.
I like Ava. Again, apparently so popular but I only know 1.
