Ivory

Just wondering what your thoughts would be for Ivory. Nickname Ivy.
Middle could be Claire, Alice or Savanna.

I don't care for it myself. It doesn't quite fit as a jewel name, and just seems a bit like an aspirational almost fetishized name. Probably because Ivory itself is a very, illicit business?

Ivy is much nicer

I agree that Ivy is much better.  Ivory makes me think of the old Stevie Wonder song "Ebony and Ivory."

All of this. Ivy is fine alone.

Ivory and Savannah reminds me of elephants ... tusks and they live on Savannahs..

I LOOOOOVE Ivy though.

Makes me think that you like the name Ebony but that's it's a little weird to use if you're not black, so you figured you'd go with Ivory. That's what would come to mind if you introduced me to baby Ivory, I'd immediately think of a juxtaposition with Ebony.

For that reason, not a fan of Ivory, I think it could get (mis)read into but love the name Ivy.

I like Ivory, and think Ivory Claire is nice. I like Ivy also even as a given name.

I'm bias here because I have an Ivy. I think it's a great stand alone name. Not so much a fan of Ivory and I see them as two different names not as a nickname for each other.

I agree, I like Ivy on its own. Ivy Claire is very pretty!

No to Ivory (I think Ebony and Ivory). Yes to Ivy.

Why does Ivy have to be a nickname? Ivy is its own name. Ivy Claire is lovely.

Forget Ivory, it's an animal material... tusks and teeth. Not a name for a person.
