Hi all, I have many Ivie's in my family and it is of Ayrshire derivation and can be an alternative to James BUT in Ayrshire it more often as not stands alone as Ivie.(Having said that my Uncle Ivie was christened Mungo) But the name can be found way back in my Ayrshire ancestors.....Brown,Sloan,Bryson,etc.etc. Hope that is of help regards Merrylee
