Nina by a very long way! I would have it short for Valentina...a tiny bit of a stretch but I reckon I'd get away with it

Jojay · 30/10/2016 21:32

Nina, definitely.

MaryWortleyMontagu · 30/10/2016 21:30

Nina by far!

WineCheeseSleep · 30/10/2016 21:28

Iris gets my vote!

Halloween Grin at baby Binary

Iris, though they are both lovely names. No wonder you can't choose!

fifipop185 · 30/10/2016 21:21

Love Iris Pearl! Grin

Artandco · 30/10/2016 21:20

Iris Pearl is lovely

DreamingOfAFullNightsSleep · 30/10/2016 21:17

I prefer Nina I think, though both are lovely. I also love Hope as her mn.

KoalaDownUnder · 30/10/2016 21:16

Iris.

Nina sounds a bit whiny to me )don't know why).

livinglooney8 · 30/10/2016 21:15

Nina. Can be a nn for Christina.

crje · 30/10/2016 21:12

Prefer Nina but with Sidney
Iris is better.

PotteringAlong · 30/10/2016 21:09

Thanks v much. We may actually just go with the majority view on this as we love them both and we're finding it impossible to choose between them! Unless one or the other simply doesn't work for her when she arrives.

Both are great. Nina for me though!

Sophronia · 30/10/2016 20:30

Nina

sorryoldwoman · 30/10/2016 20:28

Nina I think Iris sounds a little old fashioned and stuffy.

rainbow99 · 30/10/2016 20:28

Definitely Iris, Nina feels dated to me

gladisgood · 30/10/2016 20:23

I love both

but would probably vote for Iris

Iris makes me think of beautiful flowers

Iris makes me squeamish.
