Surname is two syllable, starts and ends in N.

Sophie Irene .. initials would be SIN
Ruby Irene
Heidi Irene
Phoebe Irene
Willow Irene.. initials would be WIN

Willow Irene.. initials would be WIN

Willow is a lovely name and WIN as a nickname is adorable.

glastonburyfever · 20/03/2021 07:22

Heidi

Lampzade · 20/03/2021 07:02

Ruby

ILoveStickers · 20/03/2021 06:59

Love Phoebe!

PlanetPuddle · 19/03/2021 22:49

Irene Willow?

BewareTheBeardedDragon · 19/03/2021 21:40

I like Willow best

Alienchannell21 · 19/03/2021 21:35

Ruby, Heidi or Willow to go with Irene I think.

AcrobaticCardigan · 19/03/2021 21:30

Ruby Irene - love it!

Spied · 19/03/2021 18:51

In order of preference
Heidi
Sophie
Ruby
Willow

Phoebe- looks and sounds awful to me.

I honestly don't think anyone cares what their initials are unless it's a swear word.

Not liking Phoebe, Heidi or Ruby, love Sophie though and Willow. Don't like Irene as it reminds me of an old lady, Ivy is a better middle name and more modern than Irene.

mamablondie33 · 19/03/2021 18:17

Ruby 100% it’s miles better than the other choices to my ears

MercyBodle · 16/03/2021 03:08

I like all those except Heidi. I'd cross off Sophie with the initials though. Out of Ruby and Phoebe for my first choice, but Willow is nice too.

lljkk · 15/03/2021 05:42

Best: Sophie
I find this ugly: Phoebe

Others inbetween

Jennobop · 15/03/2021 05:32

Ruby gets my vote
Then Phoebe

VenusClapTrap · 14/03/2021 20:35

Heidi is such a breath of fresh air! I also like Willow. Less keen on the others. I would avoid SIN.

miltonj · 14/03/2021 16:47

Sophie and ruby and lovely, can't go wrong! Don't personally like willow but that's just me.

Literally don't worry or give another thought to the initials. It's not a thing that people tend to pick up on or that would hinder someone in any way at all.

KirstenBlest · 14/03/2021 16:32

The WIN sways it.

All the names are ok and I like them in this order: Sophie, Phoebe, Heidi, Willow and Ruby.

But I picked the one that doesn't end in an ee sound because Irene does.
Pick the one that goes best with just the surname.

user1493494961 · 14/03/2021 16:27

I like Phoebe.

AnyaMoondial · 14/03/2021 16:21

Phoebe Irene is my favourite. Good list generally though.

Marty13 · 14/03/2021 16:17

If you love Sophie Irene but don't like the initials you could also spell it Eirene (I think that spelling exists ?) or call her Irene Sophie. Though she's more likely to use SN as her initials anyway

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/03/2021 16:01

Willow Irene is great - you have a lovely combo of a more modern, beautiful sounding first name with a traditional but currently dated middle name - so it balances out nicely (the WIN initials are awesome too).

I like classic Sophie but I think SIN would be unfair, and I'm not keen on your other choices (I find Ruby "old lady" despite it's popularity, and Phoebe and Heidi have a whiny sound to me, sorry) .

Kollamoolitumarellipawkyrollo · 14/03/2021 15:59

I like Heidi too.

sarah13xx · 14/03/2021 15:58

Have always liked the name Ruby so would probably go for that! Willow is nice too but not sure how popular it is where you stay. Sophie is a classic but too popular now for me

Mistyminion · 14/03/2021 15:56

Phoebe Irene

partyatthepalace · 14/03/2021 13:25

Phoebe is by far my favourite
Sophie a sweet classic
Ruby is fun but will date
Heidi I think is wet and dated
Willow I think is wet and will date

You don’t want SIN but you could add a name eg Sophie Irene Mary to get out of it
