Baby names

Iris or Daisy

Hi there

We are expecting a girl after 3 boys and Iris is our current favourite name to go with brothers Finn, Milo & Kit. Daisy was our girls name for ds1 and I still really love it despite it's popularity. I was just wondering which name people think goes better with our boys names.

Also open to other suggestions!

Many thanks

Kit is my favourite boys name.

I think Daisy is fab and goes really well. I don't know millions of them either tbh.

I think Iris is a much better name. It definitely passes the "high court judge" test as well.

Iris goes better with those boy names and I agree passes the High Court Judge test much better.

Iris is much much nicer than Daisy and also goes better with your boys names which are fab by the way!

Iris fits better with your sons' names. It's a nicer name, too, imo.

I think they both go with your boys names but I much prefer Iris. Daisy is fine for a little girl but not for a grown woman (imho).

Iris fits better with your sons names I think. I find Daisy to be a bit young sounding,same with Poppy.

I prefeer Daisy personally but for your boys names for a girl if you want a flower name I would go with Tansy.

Daisy for sure, so much prettier. Iris is dull and overused.

Thanks everyone! Iris is our current front runner I think. I never thought girls names would be so hard!

Iris is a name for life, Daisy is a name for childhood or a bichon frise.

We have an Iris so can recommend :) I love it (and don't generally like flower names, so personally wouldn't go for Daisy). just be prepared to be given a lot of purple clothing!
Amazingly, all of yr sons names are on my list for DC2!
