Anybody think we should change it from Izzie Stevens to Isobel "Izzie" Stevens? If we did, Callie, Sam, Dell and Pete's pages should probably be moved too. It's not that big of a change though.-2Anthony4 (Page me!)08:13, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

I wouldn't do it if it were me - the first line of the article usually has their full name (like Derek Christopher Shepherd, Calliope "Callie" Iphegenia Torres), and for search (inc. google) purposes, it's easier to have Izzie Stevens. In the other cases, Pete and Sam are fairly obvious it's short for Peter and Samuel and I wouldn't really have changed them anyway. --Wiggl 22:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Alright, for now we should keep it this way but I think maybe when the wiki gets more active we should reopen the discussion again. Its not that big of a deal anyway.-2Anthony4 (Page me!)10:41, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Sarah/Hannah[]

Surely Izzy should be listed as Hannah Klein’s biological mother? It also makes it look like on Hannah’s page, that Izzy did not give birth to her, that her adoptive mother did. Danielroxheaps 12:13, March 30, 2020 (UTC)

  • Hannah's page makes it clear that she was adopted at birth, from the very first line. Per our policies, we believe characters' adoptive/legal/social parents to be their true parents. You can read more about it here. Nerdfightergirl 12:37, March 30, 2020 (UTC)

Izzie's age[]

Izzie 5x19 DOB

OR board in 5x19

6x19 DOB alex or izzie

Divorce papers, unattached name.

In the recent edit I made, I changed the date of birth from 1980 to June 23, 1981. On the OR board in 5x19 around 38 minutes into the episode, where Meredith stands in front of the OR board, the shot lingers of her date of birth. The name is clearly allocated to her, making her date of birth 23rd June 1981.

Another date of birth is shown when Alex is flicking through the divorce papers in 6x19, but it is not clear whether this DOB is his or Izzie's. It could be, and is likely Alex's, as he flips the page of this DOB to Izzie's name. Before I fixed it, it read Jan 5 1980 on the page and the Grey's Timeline page, but it actually corresponds to the American DOB system, May 1st 1980. In the Grey's timeline section, I fixed this. The original edit of 1980 returned.

I am interested to know what other editors make of the DOB situation. Correct me if I'm wrong, but Izzie is also not confirmed to have celebrated her 29th birthday in 5x11, as the Grey's Timeline page suggests. Actually, it would be at least her 28th birthday. Izzie is around 26/27 in season 2 and 3, as the child she gave up for adoption, Hannah Klein is said to be 11 years old in 2x15 and 3x20, and Izzie was mentioned to be pregnant at 15 in 6x09. It is not confirmed if Izzie had her baby at 16, we simply know she gave it up at 16. This means, potentially, Izzie is 26 years old turning 27, and 27 turning 28 in season 4-5, and turning 28 in 5x11. This would put her DOB in 1981, fitting with the OR board, if the episode takes place in 2009, as it is the only confirmed DOB. 

Obviously other DOBs are inconsistent with the time period and years on the show, so I understand if it is not changed back specifically to June 23, 1981, but it is still possible she is born in 1981 in general. I suggest it be changed to '1980 or 1981' or simply 1981. Blueprints (talk) 19:20, April 1, 2020 (UTC)

I think the years will have to do. Whatever age she's turning in 5x11, I believe the rest of the season places her birthday in wintertime, so whatever DOB was supposed to be hers doesn't match her shown birthday anyway. Other than that, I don't really want to comment or start deducing because I don't believe there is a show out there that does a worse job at respecting the concept of time than Grey's Anatomy.

Her celebrating her 29th birthday comes from the age noted on the whiteboard in 5x19, I assume.Tooniee (Page me!) 19:32, April 1, 2020 (UTC)

Age resolved[]

Izzie is 29 in 2009

Lexie confirms Izzie was 29 in 5x17, somewhere near the end of year 2 residency. And she was definitely 27 in season 2 as an intern, with both those episodes only taking place 1 year apart, so it seems she was about to turn 28 by the end of her intern year. This makes her date of birth late 1979 or early 1980. Whateverthecost (talk) 06:44, 23 April 2021 (UTC)

To prove she was 27 in S2.

Izzie 11
Izzie 16


Yes, exactly. It is impossible she was born in 1981. The OR board has all kinds of mistakes. LeaveALightOn (talk) 15:26, 28 May 2022 (UTC)
