Eddie Izzard introduces new feminine name
‘You can call me Suzy’: Eddie Izzard introduces new female name she’s wanted to use since she was 10 — but says people can choose which one they want to call her by
Eddie Izzard has introduced her new female name that she has wanted to use since she was 10 years old.
The comedian and aspiring MP, 61, revealed she now alternates between her original name and a new one, but says people can choose which name they want to call her by.
The gender fluid artist was interviewed Matt Forde’s Political Party podcast on Monday and she shared her new name during the chat.
Eddie has been using she/her pronouns since 2020, but “don’t mind” if people use him/her pronouns to address her.
She said, ‘I’m Eddie. There’s another name I’m going to add too, which is Suzy, which I’ve wanted to be since I was 10. I’m going to be Suzy Eddie Izzard.”

Eddie then added, “That’s how I’m going to roll so people can choose what they want.” They can’t make a mistake, they can’t go wrong.’
Eddie said earlier to Huffington Post: “I spent 50 years mostly in boy mode, so let’s try the next 50 years in girl mode.
It’s just a language change. And nobody should worry about that.
“I’m still gender fluid and I say to everyone who has supported me, ‘Relax people, he or she, it doesn’t really matter.’ The pronoun is not the most important thing, the most important thing was coming out (as trans) in 1985, which was a difficult time.’
Eddie calls himself “a little bit boyish and a little bit girly.” She uses the word “transgender” as an umbrella term.
She rose to fame as a cross-dressing comedian, but now identifies as a gender fluid trans woman.
Eddie announced two years ago that she would prefer female pronouns and that she plans to “go into girl mode from now on.”
