Baby is due in five weeks, we're pretty set on a boys name but girls we can't pin down.

I was down to Hazel and Iris at one point but the other two have since come into play...

Thoughts? Are they all awful? Which is the best? We're in Scotland if that's in any way relevant and my two sons have very Scottish names.

I like Iris or Mirren. I’m in Scotland too. Think Mirren would be well received.

I like them all. I met a toddler called Heather recently and I thought it was a lovely name, refreshingly different these days.

Iris

Like them all except Mirren.

I’m not keen on any of them sorry. I’ve never heard of Mirren.

Manicpixiedreambitch · 29/10/2019 12:39

I have an Iris, but Heather is nice and quite unusual these days

RockinHippy · 29/10/2019 12:28

Mirren is the best by far. Miri is a sweet NN too

Others are awful

formerbabe · 29/10/2019 12:20

I'm not keen on Mirren
Heather sounds middle aged to me, I can't imagine a child with that name.
Iris is the nicest imo.

OverthinkingThis · 29/10/2019 12:19

Iris is my favourite from your list.

I've not heard 'Mirren' before, but I know a Merryn which I think is nicer.

MikeUniformMike · 29/10/2019 12:19

Heather.

putputput · 29/10/2019 12:17

Really want to know what your boys name is as your girls names are very similar to my list and I am stuck for boys!
DD1's name is very similar to Mirren and we have had so much positive feedback about it.

bridgetreilly · 29/10/2019 12:12

Iris would be my pick followed by Heather and Hazel.

I don't like Mirren at all.

zippyswife · 29/10/2019 12:11

I love them all. The first 3 were on my list but I had boys

PotteringAlong · 29/10/2019 12:09

Iris or Mirren

JoanJettPack · 29/10/2019 12:08

Mirren is beautiful. I love Iris, too

sleepismysuperpower1 · 29/10/2019 12:07

Mirren is gorgeous, as is Hazel x
