Which of these do you prefer? Middle name will be Elizabeth. Our surname is long and Armenian (think Hovanessian, Keleshian etc.) hence no names on shortlist longer than 2 syllables!

Jasmine
Iris
Rowan
Hazel
Ivy

My favourite is Jasmine. Hazel is nice too.

Rowan is good for a boy as it's masculine. I don't like it for girls.

Iris or Hazel

TatianaLarina · 26/11/2018 20:30

Iris or Jasmine.

chloem93 · 26/11/2018 20:19

I like Jasmine and Hazel but Rowan I would think of as a boys name, there's something about Iris that I don't like (can't put my handle on it) and Ivy gives off the biblical vibe or the Batman vibe which I don't like.

HotMessMama · 22/11/2018 18:08

Iris or Ivy both beautiful and not too overused 💖

Astronica · 22/11/2018 12:55

I love Ivy and Rowan - either of these would be lovely. Jasmine has been way over-used for a long time now, being extremely popular for around 30 years.

IrisApfelRocks · 22/11/2018 12:35

I have an Iris so I am biased but I think it's a beautiful name.

You are also from my neck of the woods 😁

I like Ivy and Hazel. Think Ivy Elizabeth has a better flow

pinkpanther84 · 21/11/2018 22:24

Jasmine or Ivy

whatstheplanphil · 21/11/2018 19:42

Jasmine is lovely

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 21/11/2018 19:41

Iris or ivy

Hermagsjesty · 21/11/2018 19:25

I really love your list! Hazel is my favourite but I think they’re all gorgeous names

username1724 · 21/11/2018 19:21

Jasmine all the way!

starkid · 20/11/2018 11:21

Hazel :)

Zazia · 19/11/2018 15:11

Jasmine for me.

Racecardriver · 19/11/2018 13:49

I dislike ivy and tend to think of Rowan as masculine (but I see nothing wrong with giving girls masculine names). Iris is quite lovely.

Flamingosnbears · 19/11/2018 13:45

Jasmine Elizabeth is lovely

Sungura · 19/11/2018 12:08

Rowan or Ivy

Sophronia · 19/11/2018 12:05

Iris

CheeseTheDay · 18/11/2018 18:10

I'm biased, but Iris is my favourite, closely followed by Ivy and Hazel.

I like Rowan, but prefer it for a boy.

Jasmine is very 90's to me, it was super popular then.

Honeybee79 · 18/11/2018 17:00

Rowan or Iris. Both brilliant.

MNisforlosers · 18/11/2018 16:40

Rowan

DramaAlpaca · 18/11/2018 16:39

I like all of them.

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 18/11/2018 16:37

They're all lovely apart from Ivy.

Harriet goes well with Elizabeth imo.

daisypond · 18/11/2018 15:24

Rowan, Iris or Jasmine. I don't like either Ivy or Hazel.
