Give me a three letter middle name that goes with Iris

DD has a lovely name (if I say so myself- 4letters then three and it kinda makes a double name if we are so inclined)

Pregnant again and though its too early to start thinking of such we both like Iris but want a 3 letter middle name that could possibly be used as a double name (as will match really well with DD's name).

So far I kinda like
Iris Mae
Iris Ava

but they aren't "it" so I need more suggestions please!

Completely stumped for boys names but will worry about that after 20week scan if they say its a boy!

Yes - normally Joy wouldn't be on my list of favourite names, but Iris Joy is lovely.

Iris Lyn
Iris Bel[le]
Iris Jane

I do love the Iris Joy suggestion though

Iris Grace
Iris Jean

For some reason Iris Clementine comes to mind, though it's not what you asked for!

Does it really have to be 3 letters?

Iris is one of my daughter's middle names. I love it.

Ooh I like bob! ;)

I recieve - eep- I liked Eve til you pointed that out.

Suppose it doesn't have to be three letters but would like it to match dd a bit.

I love Iris Rose but is a bit flowery. Also love Lily instead of Iris but worried is now too common and Iris goes better with DD's name (not that that's essential I suppose!)

Sorry, I meant Ena also goes with Iris Smile

Bob

Perpetuallypregnant · 25/05/2011 17:15

I immediately thought Eve too.

UrsulaBuffay · 25/05/2011 17:15

Iris Eve would be I receive Grin

RockOnMrs · 25/05/2011 17:15

Was going to suggest May but you already have Mae ...

Eve?
Bo? (oops, 2 letters)

Does it have to be a 3-letter name, or can it be a one-syllable name such as Rose, Belle?

Iris is a beautiful name Grin My DD is named after a flower too.
