Names that map to Ezzy

Question

When you hear the nickname Ezzy, what Hebrew name comes to mind?

We have seen Ezriel/Azriel map to Ezzy, and we have also seen Ezzy used for Eliezer.

Are there any other Hebrew names that have traditionally used Ezzy?

Also, would it be a stretch to use Ezzy as a nickname for Yisrael/Israel?

We are aware ofIzzy but we don’t like it. To us it sounds a bit less elegant and not like a full name, and we are also not looking at the usual Srulik/Sruli-type nicknames for Israel.

What is your first instinct when you hear Ezzy?

And can it be a derivative of Israel, even if it’s not a common mapping?
