en 1885 Arthur's Home Magazine 53 165 Even "Liz" brought little to his memory; though he said: "The name does recall the fact of a sister. But why call her Isa?"

en 2010 w:Margaret Forster Isa & May Chatto & Windus 9780701184667 5 It's an awkward name: Isamay, pronounced Is-a-may. Isa is my paternal grandmother's name (shortened from Isabel) and May my maternal grandmother's (it comes, somehow, from Margaret). The amalgamation is, as you see, strictly alphabetical. Life, I feel, would have been much easier if they had chosen Maybel.
