Our daughter is due soon and we are likely going with [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for a name. Middle name was going to be [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f], however I have gone off it and it does not feel like it has any relevance for us. We are considering [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], for my husbands granny. I just can’t work out if [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] clashes with the two I’s? One minute I think it’s too many I’s then then next I think it might be alright. Wondering what others think…
While I’m usually not a fan of doubles like this, I think it works. [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] has a very melodious flow to it. It’s a gorgeous combo. That said, I think [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is a bit more realistic and down to [name_f]Earth[/name_f], I think it’s a bit of a stronger name. It’s also a great combination, no flow issues, and it doesn’t have the double letter throng I don’t like.
[name_f]Hope[/name_f] that all helped!
Totally biased but I love it:) you could always use [name_f]Elizabeth[/name_f] or [name_f]Isabelle[/name_f] /[name_f]Isabella[/name_f] as a variation of [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] is beautiful too!
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] is a favorite of mine if you’re interested in suggestions:)
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is amazing, I love the alliteration! Since the I’s sound different (one long, one short) , the names have no other matching sounds, and different numbers of syllables the flow is great!
They’re both good choices, but [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is stunning compared to [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f].
If I met someone named [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] I would be very intrigued and delighted. ^^
I’m not sure I would have any sort of reaction at all to an [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f]. It’s very expected or typical…
Thank you so much for your input everyone, it’s much appreciated [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Madeleine[/name_f] just hasn’t been sticking for us. We also have another contender now, [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Brielle[/name_f].
So I think it’s [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] vs [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f]. Deciding between the two is hard, which do you think is the better contender?
I like the sound of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Brielle[/name_f] more than [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_f]Isobel[/name_f], however [name_f]Isobel[/name_f] is a family name which also gives it points. Our last name is [name_m]Smith[/name_m] if that helps…
