This forum has helped us so much to narrow down our name list for our little girl who is due in 6 days, thank you. This will be my last thread, promise! 😁
What is your reaction to Iona Alice (pronounced eye-oh-na)? I'm Scottish and set on a Scottish name. We live in SE England. DD1 is called Eira Hope (Welsh connection on husband's side). Thank you!!

Lovely - my niece is an Iona and I've always thought it pretty but would sounds lovely at any age! Best wishes

Love Iona but I might choose a middle name with starting with a consonant - easier to say.

Iona Clair
Iona Kate
Iona Grace etc

I’m also part Scottish with a Welsh OH, living in SE!
I love Iona and want to use it as a middle name.
DH’s family will pronounce it the Welsh way though, ‘yon-a’, which would get confusing if that was her main name. Also the Welsh meaning - January - isn’t really relevant for a May baby!

I guess Iona and Alice don’t flow too well together because of both of the ‘a’ sounds, but it’s not that often you hear both names together, so might not matter.

I prefer Alice Iona. Iona is a very nice Scottish name, but it doesn't sound great as a first name IMO

I wouldn't put any middle names with names such as Juno Hugo Noah and Iona
for reasons pp has said.
It doesn't flow perfectly but it would be okay the other way around Alice Iona
