An I Name that isn't Ivy

Girl Names

[name_m]Hi[/name_m] Berries -

Today’s Name [name_u]Sage[/name_u] question comes from a mom who wants to use an I name to honor her grandfather … but her husband isn’t on board with her favorite, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].

Read all the details here, and I’d be curious to hear your favorite I names for girls!

Best,
[name_u]Abby[/name_u] (The Name [name_u]Sage[/name_u])

[name_f]Inanna[/name_f]
[name_f]Inara[/name_f]

Though I think the closest stalistic match is probably [name_f]Iris[/name_f] or [name_f]Isla[/name_f], [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] (my preferred spelling) is one of my favorite names.

My favorites are [name_u]Indie[/name_u], [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Ismay[/name_f], [name_f]Ida[/name_f], and [name_f]Ilsa[/name_f]
