[name_f]My[/name_f] lg is called [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], she was named by her dad. He likes really traditional/old fashioned names and I like more spunky and nature names so [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] was the only one out of his list I agreed on.
He says I can name our next child as he pretty much named [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] I just agreed to her name. I’ve always wanted our children to all have ‘y/ie’ ending names as our names have these endings too so it’s like we all match.
However I’m having a hard time figuring out what names that aren’t traditional or old fashioned really go well with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], even if they do have the same ending.
The top name I have right now for a boy is [name_u]Ziggy[/name_u] but not sure if this is a completely different vibe and if it would remotely work with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]?
Some other names I’ve considered:
[name_m]Albie[/name_m]
[name_u]Frankie[/name_u]
[name_u]Jesse[/name_u]
[name_u]Sonny[/name_u]
If I wasn’t after the ‘y/ie’ ending the #1 boy name for me would be [name_u]Fox[/name_u], if that gives you more of an idea what I’m after!
I think all of these work with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]! [name_f]My[/name_f] favourite is [name_m]Albie[/name_m], followed up by [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] - spunky and trendy but with traditional origins, so the dad will like them too.
[name_u]Ziggy[/name_u] does work with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f], even though it’s definitely a bit quirkier. Still usable! What about:
[name_u]Ari[/name_u]
[name_u]Alfie[/name_u]
[name_m]Archie[/name_m]
[name_u]Clancy[/name_u]
[name_m]Cy[/name_m]
[name_m]Clay[/name_m]
[name_u]Eli[/name_u]
[name_u]Freddie[/name_u]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_u]Kai[/name_u]
[name_m]Louis[/name_m] (loo-ee pronunciation)
[name_m]Monty[/name_m]
[name_u]Percy[/name_u]
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Remy[/name_u]
[name_u]Toby[/name_u]
[name_u]Teddy[/name_u]
I love [name_m]Louis[/name_m] but my partner has a close friend with that name! Always loved [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] but my step dad is called [name_m]Edward[/name_m] and goes by [name_u]Teddy[/name_u] sometimes and love [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] to go with [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] if I ever was to have twins which run in my family (yes thought about it that deeply ).
I think [name_u]Ziggy[/name_u] does go with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] and wouldn’t limit you to one style of name. Alternatively you might like [name_u]Marley[/name_u], [name_m]Ozzy[/name_m], [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_u]Jerry[/name_u], [name_u]Jory[/name_u], [name_m]Bodie[/name_m], [name_m]Monty[/name_m], [name_u]Teddy[/name_u], [name_u]Joey[/name_u] or [name_m]Rocky[/name_m]

Fox and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] would be lovely! But I think out of the ie/y names you’ve listed I like [name_u]Jesse[/name_u] the most. [name_u]Ziggy[/name_u] does feel different.
Maybe you would like
[name_u]Rory[/name_u]
[name_u]Charlie[/name_u]
[name_u]Harley[/name_u]
[name_m]Harvey[/name_m]
[name_m]Benji[/name_m]
^This! I kinda feel like if you love [name_u]Fox[/name_u], go with [name_u]Fox[/name_u], because it goes really well with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f]. But totally understand if all having matching end sounds is really important to you.
[name_u]Haven[/name_u]'t though about it enough yet to have further suggestions of my own, but [name_u]Remy[/name_u], [name_m]Monty[/name_m], [name_u]Bowie[/name_u] all sound like they’s go really well!
My first thought for you was Renly “Ren”.
Renly and Ivy are cute together, I also really like Ivy and Fox! But I really like when sibling names have the same amount of the letters for some reason.
My vote would be to use Fox, otherwise Renly Fox would be very cool.
and love [name_u]Freddie[/name_u] to go with [name_u]Frankie[/name_u] if I ever was to have twins which run in my family (yes thought about it that deeply 
).
