I would love to hear your favorite girl names that begin with the letter “I”. Bonus points if any of you know any Japanese names that start with “I”. 
This would be a middle name for our baby girl due in 3 months.
Thanks so much for your help!
Well, [name]Isabelle[/name] is my first idea. But that’s completely due to the fact that I’m about 99% sure my first daughter will be [name]Isabelle[/name] [name]Aurora[/name] [name]Grace[/name]. 
Other ideas:
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Ileana[/name]/[name]Iliana[/name]
[name]Ivory[/name]
[name]Indiana[/name]
[name]Indigo[/name]
[name]Ireland[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Isabella[/name]
[name]Isolda[/name]
[name]Isolde[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
Good luck!
My favorites
[name]Ida[/name]
[name]Ilsa[/name] (Main character in the movie Casablanca. Similar to [name]Elsa[/name].)
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
[name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Isadora[/name]
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
Japanese faves (More specifically, names I just looked up and I liked.)
Ichiko (means first born in Japanese. Not sure if this is your first child or not…)
[name]Ima[/name] (unless your name is an unfortunate word such as Hog)
[name]Irie[/name]
Isae
Isako
Izumi (I no absolutely nothing about Japan/Japanese language, but from what I’ve seen this is a unisex name. Not sure about your preferences on that…)
Also, just out of curiosity I would love to know what first name you have picked out.
I hope this helps!
Well, NB’s Super Search for starts with I and is Japanese gives:
[name]Ima[/name] - present, now (I’m assuming this is pronounced Eema, and unfortunately it would often be Eye-ma mis-prn)
[name]Ishi[/name] - stone
My understanding of Japanese is that you can add -ko or -yo to pretty much any name, I think -ko means child and I forget -yo, so that would give
Imako
[name]Ishiko[/name]
Imayo
[name]Ishiyo[/name]
Behindthename.com adds
Izumi - fountain, spring
www.20000-names.com gives
Izanami - a mythological name that means “female who invites” (not sure how usable that is outside of mythology)
babynamesworld.parentsconnect.com gives
Ichiko - first child
Ikue/Ikuye - fragrant picture
Ikuko -raised child (www.babynamenetwork adds [name]Iku[/name] = nourishing)
Ine - rice plant (assuming EE-nay)
[name]Irie[/name] - get in favor (assuming EE-ree-ay)
Isae/Isaye - blessed with merit
Isako - this sand child
Isano - this help for you
Isoko - beach child, shore child
Isono - shore plain
Ito - thread
Itsuko - meaning fifth child
www.babynameguide.com adds
Isamu - energetic (but I feel I’ve seen that elsewhere for a male name)
Iwa - rock
appears to have more, but they don’t provide the meanings, so I feel rather skeptical.
With any of these, I assure you’d speak with someone Japanese / have someone in the family to be sure you have the full story of the name.
I think I’m partial to [name]Irie[/name] and Isoko, myself : D.
Good luck!
Wow! Incredibly helpful, thanks! My husband likes very few names, but he told me last night he likes [name]Rachel[/name] and [name]Rebecca[/name]/[name]Rebekah[/name]. Of the two, I would probably go with [name]Rebecca[/name]/[name]Rebekah[/name]. Our last name starts with O and I would love the initials [name]RIO[/name] for many reasons. That is what started the search for “I” names. [name]Even[/name] though my husband is the one with Japanese ancestry (he is a 4th generation American), I am the one who is interested in using a Japanese middle name.
[name]Isabel[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name]
[name]Indiana[/name]
[name]Imagine[/name] (though I would probably only use it as a character in a story)
[name]Irina[/name]/[name]Irena[/name]
[name]Ireland[/name]
[name]Italia[/name] (used to be on my list as a mn)
My favorites are:
[name]Isla[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name]
[name]Iris[/name]
I also like [name]Ismay[/name], [name]Iliana[/name], and [name]Irisa[/name].
Good luck!
