Iris?

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

Surname is one syllable starting B

Thanks mumsnet!

Thanks for all the input peeps! We think maybe we need to think of some different middle names just in case....

Just had to explain to DH that DH didn't mean what he thought!

Sounds like an eye disorder..

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 13/06/2013 18:48

KnittedC · 13/06/2013 18:12

Same as a couple of other posters I love it but my DP vetoed it on the grounds of being "too eye-ish" Hmm

valiumredhead · 13/06/2013 18:12

Gorgeous!

TeamJavert · 13/06/2013 18:06

Hate it.

GeeandTea · 13/06/2013 16:56

Love it

AmandaPandtheTantrumofDoom · 13/06/2013 16:10

Constance would definitely be on a list for hypothetical DD3!

AmandaPandtheTantrumofDoom · 13/06/2013 16:10

Lovely - both names.

GW297 · 13/06/2013 15:35

Like it!

Exhaustipated · 13/06/2013 09:30

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

ItsallFeegle · 13/06/2013 09:27

I think it's beautiful. Grin

DonDrapersAltrEgoBigglesDraper · 13/06/2013 09:24

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

CoffeeandNumbers · 13/06/2013 07:04

Same as angus love it. Dh is a bugger. Sad

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.

waltergal1 · 13/06/2013 02:28

Love it! Beautiful :)

BlueStarsAtNight · 12/06/2013 23:10

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!

CheerfulYank · 12/06/2013 23:08

Love Iris and Constance but not together.

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

Rtfairy · 12/06/2013 23:05

I like it

ImaginaryHat · 12/06/2013 22:47

Love it

EuphemiaLennox · 12/06/2013 22:32

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