Narrowed it down to these two. (thought Summer didn't go with surname but making it double barrelled so will flow fine now). Summer or Iris? Thanks

Iris.
If you want to be more original you can say you chose it because she's the apple of your eye, not because of the flower Grin

100% Iris

Cheese Grin great minds. Love it (obviously) really suits dd. Feels like a feminine yet strong name. Like it even more as years go by.

Kerala - I know that feeling, as I also have a 12-year old Iris, and it feels like its popularity has skyrocketed since we used it. DH and I like to think it means we have good taste.

To answer the OP - even if I didn't have an Iris, I would still choose Iris out of those, I just think it's a bit classier.

KarineAimee · 27/03/2018 18:19

Both are gorgeous! Wait til she arrives and see which suits her better?

KERALA1 · 27/03/2018 17:30

Noooo stop using Iris! Mine is 12 and I thought I was being quite original but keep hearing the name in the reception playground

MadMaryBoddington · 26/03/2018 20:09

Iris. Beautiful name.

daisypond · 26/03/2018 19:50

Iris is miles better than Summer.

CountFosco · 26/03/2018 18:36

Iris is a much classier name than Summer.

RidingWindhorses · 26/03/2018 18:32

Prefer Iris but there are an awful lot of them.

Iris.
so glad you didn’t go for Daisy

starkid · 26/03/2018 17:00

I like both, but I like Summer slightly more :)

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 26/03/2018 15:27

Summer is lovely, I find Iris harsh.

n0ne · 26/03/2018 12:12

Iris. Summer is not my cup of tea at all

notthegumdropbuttons · 26/03/2018 12:03

Summer

heateallthebuns · 26/03/2018 12:01

Iris

Topsyloulou · 26/03/2018 11:45

Definitely Iris. My 4 month old DD is Iris & everyone comments on how beautiful her name is

ginghamstarfish · 26/03/2018 11:42

Summer would make me think you watch Corrie. Iris is quite nice,surely due for a revival!

HeartySoup · 26/03/2018 11:41

100% Iris!

MammieBear · 26/03/2018 10:10

I can see the attraction to summer, but Iris is just such a distinguished name in both meaning, history and the overall sound to it.

Aprilmightmemynewname · 26/03/2018 10:03

Iris.

Whatififall · 26/03/2018 10:00
