Do these work together as a first and middle name?

We’re dead set on Dorothy as a first name and I like Iris because it’s pretty and has a strong family connection. But I don’t know if Iris works with it as a middle name. What do others think?

Best names ever coz one of my daughters has them. Though iris Dorothy. We wanted Doris but felt was a bit cruel so this was alternative! We sometimes use Doris as a nickname!
