[name]Hi[/name] All! My husband and I have decided to name our second baby girl [name]Ivy[/name] (our first is [name]Harlow[/name])! However, we really want to have a longer, strong full name for her. What could [name]Ivy[/name] be a nickname for? We are thinking [name]Iverson[/name] (we know its masculine! [name]Don[/name]'t care!!) or Iverlyn (don’t love that it’s a made up name). Also open to suggestions for MNs! Thanks
I think someone else posted this question recently. I remember people suggested [name]Ivana[/name] and [name]Ivory[/name]. Personally I think [name]Ivy[/name] is a stand-alone name and I like it much better as just [name]Ivy[/name] (it is also my favorite girl’s name ever!).
[name]Ivana[/name], [name]Ivory[/name], [name]Ivria[/name]
[name]How[/name] about
[name]Ivana[/name]
[name]Ivanna[/name]
Ivanny/[name]Ivany[/name]
[name]Ivette[/name]
[name]Ivetta[/name]
[name]Ivone[/name]
[name]Ivonna[/name]
[name]Ivory[/name]
Good luck!

I’m with shieldsc that [name]Ivy[/name] is great as a stand-alone name.
Also [name]Ivanka[/name], Ivoire, Inverness (geographical, town in [name]Scotland[/name] and [name]Florida[/name])
These are stretches, but might work for you:
[name]Marivel[/name]
[name]Aviva[/name]
[name]Godiva[/name]
I actually think [name]Ivy[/name] goes with [name]Harlow[/name] really well, more so than a longer name. Good luck! 
I think [name]Ivy[/name] is gorgeous! Wonderful on it’s own. I find [name]Iverson[/name] to be ridiculous. It is one of those names that sound like the parents are trying to come up with a cool name.
I like [name]Ivy[/name] just on its own, maybe paired with a long middle name like [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Katherine[/name] or [name]Ivy[/name] [name]Josephine[/name], etc. Or, you could use another I name and a V middle name IV=[name]Ivy[/name]. Some nice ones:
[name]Isla[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Veronica[/name]
[name]Isobel[/name] [name]Violet[/name]
[name]Imogen[/name] [name]Valerie[/name]
etc, etc.
Personally, I don’t like any name for a girl that has son in it, and which literally means [name]Son[/name] of _________. I also don’t like surnames as first names for girls unless there is family significance (maiden name, etc), but, to each his own!
I would go with [name]Ivory[/name] if you wanted to make it longer.
But overall [name]Ivy[/name] can stand on it’s own.
I do like the above suggestion of pairing [name]Ivy[/name] with a longer mn, this would balance it all out.
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Rosalind[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Clementine[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Ivy[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
Thank you everyone!!! I do love [name]Ivy[/name] on its own, too. I will reconsider for sure :))) I love the MN choices. I definitely agree it needs to be longer!
Iverson and Iverlyn are awful. Ivy is wonderful on its own, and I like it with Harlow. Ivy Rosalind was a great suggestion. What’s Harlow’s middle name, if you don’t mind sharing?
[name]Harlow[/name] and [name]Ivy[/name] sound so sweet together…
The other options are nms…
[name]Genevieve[/name] nn [name]Ivy[/name] would work I think
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Ivory[/name]
Iverinne (heard it once before, really pretty)
Iverna
Ivianna
[name]Ivanka[/name]
Here’s another vote for just using [name]Ivy[/name]. It’s a delightful name that packs a lot of punch. It’s one of my favorites.
Alternatively, I agree with the suggestions of [name]Ivory[/name] or [name]Ivanna[/name].
Best wishes!
[name]Ivy[/name] was our secind choice for my daughter and I felt the same way you do. I read the name Ivolyn in a book and she was nn’ed [name]Ivy[/name], so thats what we were going to use
[name]Just[/name] go with [name]Ivy[/name]. The longer ‘names’ just make it look like you’re trying too hard. [name]Ivy[/name] is fine on her own!
I love [name]Harlow[/name] very much!

I know this suggestion might seem strange, but I love: Inverness. I think [name]Ivy[/name] could be used as a nickname as well as [name]Vera[/name], [name]Nessie[/name].
Best of luck.
I love [name]Ivy[/name] on its own but I agree you could get the nickname from I V initials.
