Re: Savannah?
in reply to a message by Jenni
I'm not too fond of Savannah, but I can understand it's appeal. And Georgia is the first thing I think of when I hear Savannah, but that's far from a bad thing. :) It's definitely a lovely, very refined, old city, so a Savannah would have a great association with her name.
As for the nickname Izzy for Tristan, I'm going to say no for two reasons: 1) I'm of the opinion that Tristan is a male name and even if you were using Tristan for a male, the nickname Izzy is too feminine. 2) The nickname Izzy is too reminiscent of the Tristan and Isolde mythology. To me, it would be like naming your child Juliet, but calling her Romy (reminiscent of Romeo).
