Ivy Irvine

[Cirv]

Is Ivy Irvine too much of a mouth full? Or does it sound nice? I can’t decide 😂. She will have a middle name - Helen after my mother in law.

Love it.

I really love it too ( and I don’t often say that!)

I think this is superb. I love the alliteration. It’s a great name with a bit of a vintage feel to it. I hope you go for it!

That has real style!

Just no.

I like it. The Is make different sounds, and the Vs are well seperated.

Eye-Vee Er-Vine

Bit of a mouthful but most definitely memorable. If you love it then going for anything else won’t feel right.

Never been a particular fan of Ivy, but the whole name sounds very cool imo! I love alliterative or assonant names as I think they tend to be more striking - especially if you are using a popular first name which is less likely to be memorable on it's own.

You like it, go for it, it sounds great.... sometimes on MN people seem incapable of being nice about names...

Not keen, sorry. Agree it’s a clash.

Absolutely love this name. So well put together go for it!

I like it and people will remember her easily. It sounds good!

I really like it. I can’t understand the PPs who say it’s a tongue twister, or that it clashes. Quite the opposite. I think it feels lovely to say out loud. Perhaps it’s different depending on your accent? RP accent here, and I think it’s the best name I’ve heard in a while.

Too tongue twister for me.

Helen Irvine goes really well.

Ingrid Helen
Eliza Helen Irvine
Phryne Helen Irvine
Victoria Helen Irvine
Amy Helen Irvine
Jamima Helen
Jane Helen

Phryne?
WTF?

@TheShellBeach , it's greek and said as Fry-ny, I think

It’s great!!

(especially if you are pronouncing Irvine, Ir-Vine not Ir-Vin as some do)

Well OP did come here to ask for opinions. I don't think anyone on this thread has been unkind or unreasonable with their response.

Personally I agree Ivy Irvine is too much, it's sing-songy and I don't like the repetition of the "v" sound. Isabelle Irvine could just about work. But there are so many names similar to Ivy that would be much nicer with your surname - Lily, Anya, Elsie, Orla, Rosa...

A superhero name! I absolutely love it and it’s memorable

Not keen on the name Ivy full stop sorry.

It’s a no from me. I’m prone to spoonerisms though, so I’d end up calling her Ervy Eye-vine all the time by mistake. Shame, because Ivy is a lovely name.

No. The names are too similar and, if you really like Ivy, you could use it as a nick name for any of your children with the Irvine surname.

Angela Helen Irvine
Catherine Helen Irvine - Cate
Ita Helen Irvine
Sophie Helen Irvine
Jane Helen Irvine - very smart
Victoria Helen Irvine - A letter V at the start doesn't have the same rhyming tongue twister problem.
