I have met two Ivorys. They were both African American. One was a woman (nn Ivie), I think born in the 70s; the other was a man, maybe older than that.

I don't quite like it because it makes me think of poaching, similar to how I can't like coral because I think of destruction of coral reefs. I guess I also think of Ivory Coast, pianos, and "irie", so that could be positive. The sound is nice.

It's like Ebony or Coral or Dove, for a girl.

For a guy, it's like...idk, Tory? Yves? Emory? Sterling? Maybe a bit off-beat or old-fashioned, but it's fine, whatever. Strikes me as less wordy (or more namey/established) for a guy for some reason.
