Iris or Pearl

I think that they are both lovely to go with sister Violet but Pearl is the one I love the most - and more daring. However, Iris is possibly easier to live with....what do you reckon?

Boy's name is decided already.

oh ffs MY NAN'S SISTERS

yappybluedog · 05/04/2009 17:21

my Nan' sisters

yappybluedog · 05/04/2009 17:21

I Nan's sisters were called Pearl & Iris

so I think of stout fierce Northern women when i hear those names

I like Iris best though

I have an 8 year old called Iris and a nearly 4 year old call Pearl so couldnt possibly choose! But think Pearl goes better with Violet.

Also, the visual image of an Iris is prettier than that of a pearl, to my way of thinking.

I'm sorry, I don't like Pearl... reminds me of pearl necklaces. You know, not the expensive jewellery shop ones. The other ones.

I prefer the name Iris, but in your situation I would go for Pearl as it seems to be your favourite and it goes better with Violet IMO

Iris....great song by the goo goo dolls!

Pearl. Definitely. Can I ask what the boy's name is?

everGreensleeves · 05/04/2009 16:43

I like Opal and Topaz, but I'm weird

Iris is OK but not with Violet imo. Pearl is nice.
