Iris?

Possible middle names are Constance, and then don't know!

Surname is one syllable starting B

Thanks mumsnet!

I rather like it! Much stronger than the currently popular 'cutesy' botanical names, while still being softly feminine.

Two enthusiastic thumbs up from team pelvic.

Not so sure about Constance but ok as it's a middle name (and doesn't really matter!)

One of my favourite girl's names. Love it.

I don't like either - but it's not my baby!

I really like it- suits a little one and and a grown up young lady. Think some 'cute' names might come to be less helpful with age?

I love it because I love tge scent of Iris so it has such strong positive associations for me.

Love Iris and Constance but not together.

I have a one syllable B surname too...it makes naming hard! :)

I like it, as long as your surname doesn't end with an 's' or 'ce' sound; if it does then I think it would be too much to have all 3 names end that way!

Yes, like it.

Connie is really nice too, or Con, though to me Constance is very 'proper' in a stern great aunt way. You can do that with a middle name though.

I don't love either, though that's neither here nor there. But I don't think they run together all that well.

Lovely but pretty popular and on the rise, if that bothers you. I know 4 little ones.

Constance would definitely be on a list for hypothetical DD3!
