I like Iris! Izzy might be a bit of a stretch but I could still see it working.

I'm never good with the middle names.....

Iris is great! :)
Izzy is kind of a strech, yeah, mainly because Iz- and Eye-r are not the same sound

Sorry, I really dislike Jocelyn, although I can see how it would pair well with Iris!

If you were gonna pronouced Izzy like "Issy" then i think it would work.

I don't like the name Iris that much, but I think Izzy would be fine as a nickname for it. I really like Jocelyn though and I think Iris "Izzy" Jocelyn is a great combination.

i ♥ the name iris. with middle names, just don't do a flower. like iris lily or iris rose.

i think iris is very pretty. and unfortunately, every other little girl in kindergarten in five years is going to be going by izzy/issy, so i would stick with iris! pretty and unique.

I like Iris! I have a couple family members with that name. I'm not a fan of Izzy, though.

i love the name iris. but i don't think izzy would work as a nickname. it's just so pretty and short on its own, i don't think it needs a nickname.

and i think jocelyn is gorgeous. but jocelyn iris sounds better then iris jocelyn i think.

I love Iris! It makes me think of my favourite play I've helped with so far in high school--Still Life with Iris. My best friend played Iris. :-)

I like Iris, but no, Izzy does not work. Why do you want Izzy? Jocelyn is pretty.

Izzy

Is Izzy the name you want and you're trying to find a full name to go with it? Of course you know that the standard name would be Isabelle/a (in one of its many spellings).

Iris is a stand alone name, partly because it has a complete sound unto itself and also because it's already so short.

I like the name Iris, but like those above me, don't recommend it paired with Izzy.

Maybe a better question would be what names can be turned into Izzy? Also Isador, Isa, and I'm sure many others.

after thinking about it for more than the five seconds it took me to post i realized that i probably wouldn't use izzy for iris anyways... ;)

i love the name isabelle, so hopefully it won't be too popular in more than ten years when i might have kids :]

It seems like I'm always going against the crow nowadays! I hate Iris.... all I think of is an eye.

[miss-tee.livejournal.com]

I love Iris.

I wouldn't use Izzy as a nick name. Iris is too pretty to be shortened.

Iris is a favorite of mine (favorite flower, too). Izzy is kind of a stretch, but it's cute. I've only heard the nickname Ira for it, and that was for a tomboy, hence the boy name. I'm not a big fan of Jocelyn, but that aside, I think Iris Jocelyn has a nice flow to it.

My daughter's name is Iris (she's 7)! Love the name, but we don't use Izzy as a nickname. I often call her I-I or just I. And Sparky. :) I am not a fan of Jocelyn, but it works.

My grandma's name is Iris! Her sister called her "Rissy", but I don't think she liked it much... :D Izzy's a stretch in my opinion

[ladymela99.livejournal.com]

My mom's name is Iris, I gotta tell you she hates it. I kind of like it though. Anyway, her middle name is Anne (very boring think of something better..like Elizabeth LOL)

Her nickname is Irie. (pronounced I-ree)
