Susannah Iris.

I want a first name with a nice nickname option and which is preferably either biblical or a saints name. I want a middle with a similar 'feel' to Iris. Sort of sweet and simple but with a fresh feel, and maybe a bit vintage.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to find the perfect name.

@BeanStew22

OP: your first child’s name is lovely

But I don’t understand why you need to ‘match’ your next child’s name: do you personally care what your adult siblings are called/if your name matches that?

Good point, and it's not so much that they need to match as it is I've just found that this is a combination of names I really like. All the names I have ever considered seem to be in this style Smile

I also think names such as Rosalind/Rosamund, Beatrice, Cecilia, Helena, Christina, Catherine have a similar vibe to Susannah. So does Deborah (who was pretty impressive in the Bible) but perhaps the world is not ready to revive that name yet.
