My family (while not Jewish any longer) has the same custom/rule about not honoring until they've passed on.

1. I think Irving's definitely due for a comeback. I've seen people with Ira on their lists, so why not Irving?

---

2. I think Ving is an awesome nickname option! I would think "cool!" if I met a little kid or teen Irving. As a young adult or Grandfather, I think he already fits in there.

3.
Irving James
Irving Thomas
Irving Laurence
Irving Frederick
Irving August
Irving Rex (I'm going through an "I adore Rex" phase, my apologies)
Irving Quentin
Irving Bertrand
Irving Jacoby
Irving Hollis
Irving Atticus
Irving Jude
Irving Reuel
Irving Gabriel
Irving Hugh
Irving Fiero
are a few ideas.

4. Irving's not a family name for me, so if I did use it, it would be in the middle, most likely. But Ignatius is one my list, that is a family name. Ignatius is also quite likely to get used. The only other *I* names I like are Inigo (which is related to Ignatius), Isidore (another family name)& Ishmael. But I'd only use Inigo as a possible nickname for Ignatius (along with Iggy & Nate).

Hope that helps, some! :)
