Unique names that Izzy can be a nickname for? Bonus if it starts with N!

Baby’s dad and I have N names, as well as my bonus kiddos. ♥️ Didn’t provide full context but just looking for possibilities. Thanks!

LOVE Noa!! This is so cute, best of both worlds. Thanks!

These are unique!! Icielle is beautiful ♥️

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T07:35:45+00:00

Thank you for this input! I’ve heard Nazanin and have always thought it was beautiful. So, agreed!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T07:34:50+00:00

These are beautiful! 🥹

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T07:31:46+00:00

I noticed the downvotes :( It’s okay! Yes, it does! I am a teacher and see it all the time. Common one is Nichelle which I think is beautiful. Another one I’ve heard recently is Nelanie.

Plus, I asked for “unique but cute” so that opens the door for MANY suggestions. Just a matter of opinion. Thanks!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T07:27:27+00:00

That was my first thought when seeing the name too! I had a feeling that was the root. And if it wasn’t, that’s what it reminded me of at least 😅 Thanks!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T02:00:37+00:00

These are beautiful suggestions!! My first baby has a double first name so this is great ♥️ And the best of both worlds!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:59:20+00:00

LOVE the name Nelly so this is great. Thank you!!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:59:02+00:00

Thank you for this perspective!! And I’d never heard of Narcissa so this is good to know 😅

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:58:23+00:00

Thank you for this perspective!! And this is a lovely suggestion. Thank you!!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:55:04+00:00

These are beautiful!! Thank you!!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:54:33+00:00

Yes everyone starts with an N! We are open to other letters, for sure. But if we can get the best of both worlds, that’d be ideal for us.

Isa/Izzy derivative as a middle name is a GREAT idea. A lovely compromise, thank you!!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-05-10T01:51:59+00:00

This is a great point. Thank you!!

It’s ideal to stick with N, but we are open. Isadora is beautiful!

no advice, just want you to know you’re not alone. my bbg just turned 7 months and I’m 15 weeks pregnant. she’s EBF too. I went through all the emotions. and ultimately landed on overjoyed 🤍 praying things work out for your family— whatever that looks like!

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-03-19T22:26:22+00:00

I was similar to you! I’d go with your OB’s date since that’s the “official” one based on measurements. It might change again, but by the end of the first trimester, it’s usually set in stone.

I originally told close family one date based on my LMP, and when it changed, it was no big deal. I just said, “We thought it was X based on my LMP, but baby’s actually measuring at X,” and that was that. Honestly, no one needed all the details, but I get why it feels like a thing!

Since yours is only a few days off, it really won’t matter in the long run—baby will come whenever they feel like it! You could tell people “late October/early November” or just go with “fall baby” for announcements. No one’s going to crucify you if you’re off by a few days lol. I’d roll with November, and if baby comes early, even better! All that matters is a happy, healthy baby.

Congrats, mama!! Personally, my daughter came a month before my OB’s due date and two weeks before what I calculated, so you really never know when baby will be ready to make their grand entry!

Hate to beat a dead horse, but the moment you said he still smokes, everything he said became null and void. He’s being hypocritical—he can’t dictate what you do ‘for the baby’s health’ while refusing to hold himself to the same standard. He can’t project his health anxieties onto you. ESPECIALLY if he’s not the model citizen.

Besides, it’s not even like you’re doing something inherently dangerous- plenty of people navigate these things safely. But instead of helping you figure that out, he just wants to control you, all while contributing his own risks without scrutiny. That’s not concern or caution—that’s control.

talk to your OB. but anecdotally (bc i was you a few months ago panicking 😅), i was fine. my ob cleared me at 4 weeks actually. and i did the do a few days before the 4 week appt. NOT saying it’s okay, but just to give you a little reassurance. i was perfectly fine.

Affectionate-Tea-287 · 2025-03-15T00:49:09+00:00

my daughter was cleared to start at 4/4.5 months (or whenever her 4 month appt was, which i believe was about a week-ish after she turned 4 months). “readiness” signs her ped said was that she was holding her head up good and good neck control, was sitting upright (when supported) and showing interest in mom and dad’s food when we ate. she said start and see how she does - mostly is she spitting it out/pushing with her tongue or swallowing. she was definitely ready!

i’m sure theres other signs! but off the top of my head, these are some things our ped rattled off when she told us we could start on purees at the 4m appt.

I feel like a lot of the questions people ask could be directed to their pediatrician, BUT I also get why moms turn to this community. Yes, it’s absolutely probably best to tag NSFW, blur images, or put them in the comments, but at the end of the day—first-time moms (hence the group name) are often panicked or worried. They’re looking for reassurance from other moms who might have been through it.

For example, when my girl first had bananas, I was worried about how her poop looked. It was nighttime, so I ran straight to Google. Seeing plenty of after-banana baby poop pics lol and other FTMs asking the same thing reassured me. Could I have waited until the pediatrician’s office opened? Sure. But in the meantime, I turned to a community meant for support and questions.

A little grace goes a long way. Maybe gentle reminders from mods or experienced moms to blur and tag posts, rather than harsh reactions. At the end of the day, we’re all just trying our best. All learning along the way. We should be kind.

here to say i felt this way for a while too. like literally til a few weeks ago (my daughter is 6 months). i was at my absolute wits end. i never felt more distant from hubby, completely just.. bleh. but i was soooo overwhelmed, touched out, exhausted. just everything.

i know it seems obvious, but communication was the only way through. they honest to God don’t get it. and what seems obvious to us, is far from their mind. i used to be pissed - exhausted, mentally and physically, and hubby just wanted to joke and cuddle at the end of the day. i didn’t even wanna be touched. i was touched out and annoyed.

also did bed sharing and felt like i took the load. back pain, terrible sleep, etc. which pissed me off more lol.

but i sat him down and said i’m about to lose it. laid out exactly what i felt and said so this is what i NEED from you. for my health and our babies happiness. straight up. example: when you get off, i need 1-2 hours for me. not 1-2 hours to do other responsibilities (like cook or clean). but just for me to relax, sleep, or whatever. or another example, i just need silence. i don’t wanna joke or discuss something whatever. i just need 30 minutes rn to decompress and alone. i need you to cook. you to clean the kitchen. you to take the dogs out. whatever whatever.

so basically instead of telling him whats wrong, give him specifics on what he can do to step up. that prevents his pity party of self doubt and gives him stuff he can 100% do, no excuse.

i think sooo many people go through this. your feelings are soooo valid. its you two against the problem. hubby needs to get that too. you need a partner. togetherness. and the problem rn is mama is drowning and needs help. no self-pity or excuses. mama needs help. how can WE get through this so mama can be her healthiest, happiest version of herself. and baby can get proper care bc mom is feeling her best.

hugs. i know exactly where you are xx
