Boys names with nickname Ibby

[Spideylucy]

Hi all

Does anyone have any suggestions for a boys name that might lend itself to the nickname Ibby? Even if it’s a bit of a stretch!

Thanks!!

Ibison

Ibrahim?

Abraham
Abel

Ibbotson

The Ibby I know is Ibrahim

Caleb?…….its a bit of a stretch though

Gilbert

I actually quite like Ibby as a stand alone name, though maybe as an adult it’s better to have longer name to use. Iziah?

Same here! It's a common shortening where I work, I teach a few boys called Ibby.
Ibrahim is their full name.

Caleb is a lovely name, but I've never heard it shortened. Ibby is a stretch!

ibsen , Norwegian playwright

Yeah I know 😂 as soon as I wrote it I thought…nope….maybe if you pronounce Caleb - ‘Calib’…..but yeah, you’re right!

Isambard ? (The bridge architect)

😁shame, it's such a nice name!

Oooh, I like it! He'd be the only one.

Willoughby 😬

Ibhar (one of King David's son's in the bible, don't know his full story)
Ivor or Ivan although I don't think Ibby will stick, the /I/ sound is different
Ibrahim
Ibzan was a biblical judge in Israel
Ibadat comes from Arabic, it pertains to prayer and devotion

Isambard is cool!

Isaac (nn don’t have to relate precisely to the full name!)

Gottlieb
Tiberius

Ignatius (stretch from Iggy)

Full go crazy and move to Glasgow - Ibrox

Could you base the nickname off initials IB instead?

Ivan Benjamin or something like that?

(though Isambard) is a great suggestion!

The Ibby I know is Ibrahim, the Muslim version of the name Abraham.

Could go for a stretch though OP if Libby is a nn for Elizabeth!

I know an Ibby and he's Ibrahim

Yes, that's been said quite a few times upthread. I think that's the most popular usage.
