My (version of the) Pancakes family are about to have their first baby. Because they didn’t get dramatic makeovers and because they followed how they were made by Maxis pretty well (in my opinion), I figure it will be cute to nickname their child Iggy. Especially if it’s a boy.I don’t particularly want that to be his given name though.So I’m looking for suggestions of full names that might be nicknamed Iggy.I know a nickname doesn’t have to come from his proper name and I’ll resort to that if I have to.

Finnigan could be shortened to Iggy! :)

"Iggy is a male name derived from the Roman family name Egnatius, of Etruscan origin. The spelling was later altered to resemble the Latin word ignis "fire". It is sometimes a short form (hypocorism) of Ignatius and similar names." Ignatius would definitely be a fancy baby name choice for a Pancakes kid! I think that's the closest you'll get to a name that'll give way to Iggy as a nickname. Unless you just made one up like. . Ignold. Igbert.

Thanks @littlemissgogo. Although the fire reference sounds cool (imagine a kid with Eliza’s red hair with a name meaning fire!), I think “Ignatius” sounds a little too fancy for my tastes.@eeeyun Finnigan is a distinct possibility.

@PeculiarPlumbob The name Igor makes me think of the (cartoon) movie with the little humpback.

@So_Money. Ignis might just work. Aparently it means “Firey”. It’s unusual for sure.

I think Viggo is kinda cool, dunno if it would translate to Iggy. Keegan has the g, as well, but maybe not quite. Sigmund is pretty fancy, and were it me, I'd wanna say Siggy.

I named my lil Pancake Emerson, Sonny for short. Isabella, after Bella, was next, Izzy for short. This was pre-Iggy, and I thought Maxis sorta stole it from me. :D
