Issy could be a nickname for names that end in -is like Doris, Glynis, Iris, Lois, Mavis and Phyllis.
I'm tempted to pronounce it like "Isssy", it reminds me so much of a snake. Probably my least favorite nickname of Isabella/Isabelle.
I don't like this name. Name your girl Visola and make Issy the nickname, or name your girl the combination Visola Issy and make Issy the nickname.
Issy can also be used as a diminutive of Isaac, Israel, Ishmael, Isidora/Isadora, Isabel, Isabelle, Isabela, or other names beginning with a similar sound.
My nickname is Issy and I honestly think it's an okay name. Sure, it's weird, but I really like it. I pronounce it Izzy, but I spell it like Issy. It is a cute name or nickname for a girl and is definitely unique.
I want to say Ihss-ee so bad, and this spelling is worse then Izzy. I personally prefer Izie for a girl, even though it looks weird.
There is a novel called A Song for Issy Bradley by Carys Bray, where Issy is short for Isabel.
Can also be a nickname for names with the 'iss' sound in them like Melissa, Marissa, Alissa, Clarissa, etc.
I babysit a little girl named Isabelle, nickname Issy. I never really used to like the nickname, it's grown on me and it suits her. I do, however, prefer Izzie and Izzy over Issy.
I would never name my child this, because he would forever be branded as p*ssy Issy. (Or prissy -- no boy wants to be called that.)
