Full names for NN Izzy?

[louanne00]

Hello,

I adore the nickname Izzy, I think it’s beautiful and sweet, but defiantly not a stand alone name. I am aware of my daughter growing up, getting a job, and formal forms etc. They are adults longer than children and teenagers . I would adore for her to have a more stand alone name, a full flushed name.

I love the name Iris, it has always been an favourite of mine, and thought that it would be a lovely name with the nn Izzy. I am not a fan of Isabelle/a, or any other variant spelling, so can not think of any other names as that came up in previous forums.

I would just like to know what your thoughts are on this, and any name suggestions welcome, thank you.

Twin brother is named Evan August. (:

Iris is a lovely name. Have you considered Elizabeth or Eliza?

Isla
Iona
Isolde
Maisie
Elizabeth
Eliza
Beatrix

Isolde
Isadora
Isis- obvious negative links but I know of one and it’s never been an issue.
Isika
Isamay
may be able to get away with Isla.

Iseult
Isadora

Israel.

No! Stupid auto correct - Isabel!

Ismene
Isadora

Isabel
Izabel

Sorry just seen you don't like

Definitely Eliza! Eliza and Evan is cute!

Anything with -is or -is could in theory work. I think Iris is too much of a stretch.

Isadora also a good shout. Charlize, Giselle, Gisela, Arizona, Beatriz (Spanish?) Liza, Isolde, Ismene.

Keziah potentially…Louisa?

You end up with nicknames that are completely different to name on birth certificate. I don’t get Izzy from Iris but you could tell everybody she’s Izzy and put Iris on birth certificate but I’m sure lots will assume her name is Isabel. I just don’t see the point in doing that though but if it works for you do it.

I know an Indigo, nickname Izzy

She will spend her whole life explaining that her name isn’t Isabelle.

Iris is lovely, and goes with Evan. I wouldn’t use the nn Izzy for Iris, though. Because Iris is beautiful just as it is.

If you don’t want Isobel/Isabelle/Isabella then I think Isadora is the only other viable longer name that naturally shortens to Izzy. And Isadora is not as nice as Iris, in my opinion.

The problem with Iris to Izzy is that Iris has an ‘iss’ sound and Izzy is a ‘z’ sound - they’re not interchangeable in the pronunciation.

Inez, I read a book as a child with a character named this.
