Think I've narrowed it down to Elizabeth, Amelia or Evangeline. With Elizabeth still edging it atm

My first thought was Iris Olivia, but I adore Elizabeth and that goes really well too Smile

I love Iris Olivia.

DD and I have just been talking about the name Elizabeth, she said it is the most popular middle name in her class.

Thank you.

Iris Elizabeth has been edging it! Partly because it traditional and classic.

But then i did wonder about giving a bit more of a 'modern name' as a middle, just incase for some reason, god forbid she doesnt like Iris and changes to her middle name in the future, this is what promted the Iris Amelia(prob really over thinking it)

Then earlier i stubbled upon Iris Evangeline and thought it sounded really nice too.

Great choice of names! I would go with Iris Elizabeth (that's our fave choice for a girl when we finally get pregnant, and stay pregnant!).
They are all beautiful options though.

Iris Evangeline is super dooper
