Iggy

[hundredacre]

[name_m]Long[/name_m] story short, hubs loves [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] as a boy name and I don’t. I had a grandfather named [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] buuut that’s not happening (sorry grandpa!)

What are your favorite [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] names?
[name_f]Do[/name_f] any of them naturally lead to [name_m]Iggy[/name_m]?

All I can think of naturally leading to [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] are [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], [name_m]Ignace[/name_m], [name_m]Ignacio[/name_m], and [name_m]Sigmund[/name_m]. Other names that I think I could force [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] out of are [name_m]Finnegan[/name_m], [name_u]Indigo[/name_u], [name_m]Rigby[/name_m], and [name_m]Ludwig[/name_m]. My only issue with that is that I don’t like those names…besides maybe [name_u]Indigo[/name_u].

Is [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] a lost cause?

[books_and_tea]

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] or [name_m]Inigo[/name_m] would be my favourite [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] names, definitely. However, I’m personally not too fond of the nickname - I prefer [name_f]Indie[/name_f] or [name_m]Ingo[/name_m], but that’s just personal preference. Ignotus is on my long list but I have Nott/Nox down as a nickname for him.

I’m just gonna use the search tool on NB to see if I can find other full name options:

I think it’s a lost cause, unless you go for [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] (I sort of love that name). I’m not a fan of forcing one parent to use a name they hate if a compromise can be found, instead. From your signature, it looks like you’re not shy of using unusual names. I think [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] would fit in very neatly with your other boys’ names. On the other hand, [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] could make a pretty stunning middle name if you can find the right first for it. Then Dad could still call him [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] - on occasion.

Here are a few suggestions that [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] might go with (because I can’t think of any other [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] first names, either):

[name_m]Hyrum[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Raines[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
Gresham [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
Rigdon [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Miles[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Milo[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Alisdair[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
Revere [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Stellan[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_u]Tristan[/name_u] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Fisher[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Fletcher[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]
[name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]

I also think you have some names in your signature that could go pretty well with [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]:

[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_u]Tobin[/name_u] / [name_u]Tobin[/name_u] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] / [name_m]Lorcan[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Cadmus[/name_m] / [name_m]Cadmus[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u]
[name_u]Florian[/name_u] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] / [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_u]Florian[/name_u]
[name_m]Casimir[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] / [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Casimir[/name_m]
[name_m]Calvin[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] / [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] [name_m]Calvin[/name_m]

Putting [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] in the first spot might make it sound like an adjective instead of a name, though most people won’t hear the first and middle together. [name_m]Casimir[/name_m] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] and [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m] might be my two favorite suggestions for you. [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u] & [name_m]Casimir[/name_m]; [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and [name_u]Theo[/name_u]. I might like [name_u]Tobin[/name_u] [name_u]Indigo[/name_u] better than [name_m]Theodore[/name_m] [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m], though, and I also like [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and Rigdon. Oh, maybe that’s another [name_m]Iggy[/name_m] name! Then you could dispense entirely with [name_m]Ignatius[/name_m]. And Rigdon sounds pretty good with several of your signature names:

Rigdon [name_m]Apollo[/name_m]
Rigdon [name_m]Cadmus[/name_m]
Rigdon [name_m]Casimir[/name_m]

I like the sibset of [name_m]Lysander[/name_m], [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], and Rigdon. Each name has a unique vibe to it, yet they seem to hang together pretty well. I like Rigdon [name_m]Apollo[/name_m] best of those three, to not repeat the Ca- or even [name_m]Cas[/name_m]- from [name_u]Elliot[/name_u]'s middle.

Good luck!

I used the search function on Nameberry’s home page and it brought up 8 pages of boy’s name containing “ig.” There are a lot of different origins- Irish, [name_m]German[/name_m], Spanish, etc. Here are some that don’t seem too out there:

[name_m]Briggs[/name_m]
[name_m]Brigham[/name_m]
Brautigan, [name_m]Hartigan[/name_m], [name_u]Madigan[/name_u] etc.
[name_m]Craig[/name_m]
Darrig
[name_m]Dwight[/name_m]
Frederigo/[name_m]Roderigo[/name_m]
[name_m]Fulbright[/name_m]
[name_m]Gaige[/name_m]
[name_m]Gehrig[/name_m]
[name_m]Grigor[/name_m]
[name_m]Inigo[/name_m]
[name_m]Knight[/name_m]
[name_m]Miguel[/name_m]
[name_m]Nigel[/name_m]
[name_m]Padraigh[/name_m]
[name_m]Quigley[/name_m]
[name_u]Raleigh[/name_u]
[name_m]Selig[/name_m]
[name_m]Viggo[/name_m]
[name_m]Wainwright[/name_m]
[name_m]Wright[/name_m]
Anything with -leigh

With [name_m]Lysander[/name_m] and [name_u]Elliot[/name_u], I think [name_m]Nigel[/name_m] or [name_m]Viggo[/name_m] would be great. I also find [name_m]Fulbright[/name_m] and [name_m]Wainwright[/name_m] interesting.
