Sandra said: I know I am going to have enough trouble stopping people calling my Isabella "Izzy" (shudders). I have a granddaughter called Isabelle who is always called Issy (pronounced Izzy). When she was born I kept quiet like all grandmothers should but was perturbed at the thought of Issy rather than Belle or Bella but of course it is part of her now and she is just our Issy. I guess it was the thought of Aunt Izzie in WKD. Oddly enough I have a grandson called McKenzie and everyone (including his parents) assumed he would be called Mac but this rarely happens, he is always called by his full name. His two year old brother Alastair is called Alec by his parents, which I think is a shame as I love Alastair as a name. Elaine M
