Hello lovely nameberrys!
Our daughter is arriving tomorrow shock horror 35 +6 weeks via emergency c section. We have decided to call our little lady [name]Izzie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Can’t decide weather to spell it [name]Izzy[/name], [name]Issy[/name], [name]Izzie[/name] or [name]Issie[/name]! Thoughts? Only other name we can agree on is [name]Dylan[/name] [name]Eliza[/name]. But both leaning towards [name]Izzie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. Help I have less than 14 hours!!!

I actually prefer [name]Dylan[/name] [name]Eliza[/name] or perhaps [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rose[/name], nicknamed [name]Izzie[/name]!? I know others will disagree, but if somebody brought in a resume with the name [name]Izzie[/name] or the name [name]Eliza[/name] or [name]Dylan[/name], I would take the [name]Dylan[/name] or [name]Eliza[/name] more seriously. I just find [name]Dylan[/name] and [name]Eliza[/name] so much easier to grow into as an adult. You can still use [name]Izzie[/name] as a nickname for [name]Eliza[/name].
Of the Izzies, I prefer the [name]Izzie[/name] spelling. I tend to want to pronounce [name]Issy[/name] and [name]Issie[/name] with an S sound instead of a Z sound. I also find the ie ending seems prettier than the y ending. [name]Izzy[/name] just makes me think of [name]Iggy[/name] Pop. Sorry.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Rose[/name] as a middle name. So pretty and simple. Perfect!
I’d go with the [name]Izzie[/name] spelling! [name]Lovely[/name] name, but I would also consider her formally naming her [name]Eliza[/name] (or [name]Elizabeth[/name] or something) and then nicknaming her [name]Izzie[/name] 
I prefer the [name]Izzie[/name] spelling. Though as suggested above [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rose[/name], nn [name]Izzie[/name] would be gorgeous!
I’m going to disagree with the previous posters and say NOT to give her a “more formal” first name! If she is [name]Izzie[/name] to you, name her [name]Izzie[/name]! No need to change it to a name you don’t love just because it sounds more formal and conforms to society’s standards. I understand the concern about how seriously an “[name]Izzie[/name]” resume would be taken, but I want to believe that in reality an employer would be looking at her qualifications, not her name. I agree that it should be spelled with a Z, as I too would want to pronounce [name]Issie[/name]/[name]Issy[/name] with an S sound, to rhyme with [name]Lissie[/name]. I like [name]Izzie[/name].
I love [name]Izzie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! The only other spelling I like is [name]Izzy[/name]. Either one is very pretty!
I just think [name]Izzie[/name] seems incomplete. I agree with Useless [name]Kitty[/name] above, I would just assume someone used their nickname on their resume, which would seem odd to me. I love [name]Eliza[/name] though. It’s adorable.
I also like [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rose[/name]. You could always call her [name]Izzy[/name] from that as a nn. But as cute as [name]Izzy[/name] happens to be, my personal opinion is that its very much a nicname meant for a longer name…[name]Isabel[/name], [name]Isabella[/name], etc. But whatever you choose, I pray she comes into this world safe and sound since she is coming early. <3
All of this 
If you decide to go with Izzy as the full name, please spell it Izzy. This is the simplest and most instinctive way to spell it - Issy/Issie would imply a pronunciation like “hissy” as in “hissy fit”.
I also like [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rose[/name]!
Good luck!
But regardless of what you or I may think about the judgements a person may or may not face, the fact remains that it is still there even if we do not agree with a persons name, style of clothes, hair, or noticable piercings and how it relates or not to their qualifications for whatever profession. While I have seen persons with all sorts of names excel in their chosen fields as I have seen persons with other “social no-no’s” do well, the fact remains that it may be judged even if it is never known or talked about.
In the perfect world, my husband would be able to wear whatever he wants to work, wear shirts that need and not hide the tattoos on both his arms. But he can’t do that because he works in a competitive corporate environment where yes, these sorts of things are taken into consideration. In the perfect world he would be able to be the free spirit he is at home and with friends, but in the professional world that isn’t what gets a person ahead to ultimately pay the bills. 
All this to say, I do feel that a person with the full name [name]Izzy[/name] is not destined for failure or anything, but I do feel that a more formal name has one less thing to worry about…but a parent should choose a name they love and love the child tjey.give it to, which whatever this little gal is named I am sure will be the case.
This is what I was thinking. In the perfect world it really wouldn’t matter. I’ve been in assistant managing positions for multiple companies and was in a role that assisted with reviewing applications and interviewing. I have to say that if I was reviewing an app that had a name that was pretty much universally recognized as just being a nickname - be it Izzy, Ibby, Meg, Junie, or Timmy - I’d be scratching my head as to why they hadn’t used their full name on something as formal as application. Because why wouldn’t you present the most professional version of yourself in this setting, as a sign of respect? It indicates a lack of business savvy on an applicant’s part. While this in and of itself wouldn’t keep me from calling a person back, it is just one more hurdle, and if I already had 4 better resumes and was trying to decide between 2 practically identical submissions for the 5th spot… I’d probably pick the one that looked like a real name.
That said, it probably really won’t matter in 20 years. Everyone will be named Aylen, Brodiey, and Cashola so employers will probably be seeking out the people with decent, proper, nickname names
ETA: I should also point out that we’re not talking about crazy high-paying positions here, either. Think more like your local coffee joint, clothing shop, or technology store. I’d imagine the prejudices are worse, the higher up the corporate ladder you climb.
Touche. I come from a small town (think [name]Mayberry[/name] on [name]Andy[/name] [name]Griffith[/name]) where there’s none of this ridiculous social pressure, and my training is in the arts, where we deliberately go against the grain anyway. 
But in reality, your points should be taken into serious consideration by the original poster, and a longer name should be considered. I think [name]Lizbet[/name], nickname [name]Izzie[/name]/[name]Izzy[/name], would be kind of cool.
Another vote for [name]Eliza[/name] over [name]Izzie[/name]. [name]Izzie[/name] is a perfect nickname for [name]Eliza[/name], and no one ever has to call her by her full name, but I really don’t think [name]Izzy[/name]/[name]Izzie[/name] passes the resume test. [name]Eliza[/name] is lovely, [name]Izzie[/name] is a wonderful name to call her by, and I think [name]Eliza[/name] [name]Rose[/name] is perfect.
Sounds like a nice atmosphere to grow up in
[name]Izzie[/name]/[name]Izzy[/name] would be a perfect nn for [name]Elizabeth[/name], but also fine for [name]Eliza[/name]. So, I recommend [name]Elizabeth[/name] (or [name]Eliza[/name]) [name]Rose[/name] as her formal name. Then you can call her [name]Izzie[/name]/[name]Izzy[/name] all you want. I love the middle name [name]Rose[/name].
Another thought: If you put [name]Izzy[/name] or [name]Izzie[/name] on the birth certificate, she will be stuck with a name that people will question her about all her life. Everyone will be asking her what [name]Izzy[/name] is a nickname for. I think it is a very risky name to use if you want your daughter to love her name.
[name]Izzie[/name] [name]Rose[/name] she is. :-). Not worried about resumes etc since I know so many unusual names already. [name]Blue[/name] ivy for god sake haha. By the time she has to get a job her name will prob be boring!!! Ha xx
I was going to suggest Izze [name]Rose[/name] (Izze, without the second “i”)…
[name]Bravo[/name] to [name]Izzie[/name] [name]Rose[/name]! Any job that has a “resume test” isn’t worth spending time and energy on, in my opinion. If you save her from being hired for one of those, excellent!
