grace emily

we are sorted if we have a boy name wise but really struggling for girls names.

the chioce so far,

iris rose
mia rose
elsie rose

ive put them in order of my pref so far love mia as sounds pretty but its more popular than iris which makes iris appealing we were between iris and daisy when we had daisy n always thought if i had another girl name wud be iris rose without a doubt now im unsure??

Elsa Iris or Mia Rose

birdofthenorth · 23/02/2010 10:15

Mia Rose or Elsie Rose are both gorgeous. Elsie a bit less common I think but Mia is gorgeous despite its popularity!

I like all your names, I wouldn't go with Elsie Iris together though I don't think it flows well... I don't think I would go for another flower name either if I were you...you'll have two daughters with flower names and one without.
I would go with Elsie/Elsa or Mia.

Daisy, Grace and Iris.

onebadbaby · 22/02/2010 22:28

Like Iris, but not with Rose.
Elsie Rose is lovely.

telsa · 22/02/2010 22:13

What about Mavis Rose - same sort of feel. Or Irina Rose. Or Erin Rose - all similar but avoiding the flower thing.

Skegness · 21/02/2010 23:41

Sorry- hadn't read thread.See that's been covered.

Skegness · 21/02/2010 23:39

Iris my favourite of your names but not I'm sure about having a Daisy and an Iris- would Grace feel left out?

plonker · 21/02/2010 23:39

Mia Rose. Very pretty

Then Iris.

telsa · 21/02/2010 23:25

Mia Rose is very pretty. I like Elsie Rose too. Iris Rose is too flowery, to be sure. I think it would be cute to have Daisy, Gracie and Elsie.

houseworkhater · 21/02/2010 22:54

I like Mia best then Iris.

thereyet · 21/02/2010 18:33

Agree with jellybeans, Mia Rose, really beautiful name!

i would love to think you are right heated...n that they wouldnt give it that much thought but never known anyone who has been in that situation.

just sends me a little doubt as its something to think about combind with all the 'u cant have three children' comments..'one will be left out messed up' blah blah..but thats another thread

Heated · 19/02/2010 20:59

I really don't think they would give it that much thought, they are 3 beautiful and strong names that you love. Boo hoo, you didn't name me after a flower - really? Just name the next one Cornea and you'll be fine

DrivenToDistraction · 19/02/2010 20:59

No, after what TRH said, I agree with myself again

Elsa Iris

Daisy, Grace and Elsa

jellybeans · 19/02/2010 20:56

steph1512 · 19/02/2010 20:52

i can kind of see the logic..but feel gutted now that the poss of her feeling that way wud take my fav name out of the equation!

i wud like to think as long as grace felt loved n included as everyone else it wouldnt matter but maybe thats just not realistic

Sadly, for some people it does have an affect. I know an Andrew, whose siblings all started with J, and he hated it.

steph1512 · 19/02/2010 20:37

oh no i would hate for grace to feel that way obviously was aware that she would be the only non flower name but never thought it wud have an effect...so much to consider!

OP posts:
Thelongroadhome · 19/02/2010 20:30

I think if you have a Daisy and then have an Iris then Grace might feel a bit left out for not being names after a flower. It might sound nonsense but I know a few people with 'name issues' for being different to their siblings who have more similar names. I think Elsa is lovely whereas Elsie is still a bit 'old lady' to me.

Actually, I agree with Heated about Daisy, grace and Iris. It's fab.

Heated · 19/02/2010 20:16

Iris Elizabeth is just lovely

DrivenToDistraction · 19/02/2010 20:16

It is very flowery but you could just about get away with it if it wasn't that you already had a Daisy...

Heated · 19/02/2010 20:16

Daisy, Grace and Iris is a beautiful combo, all strong but pretty names and very much in keeping with each other.

But agree with the others, I'm not sure about Rose as a mn, maybe a bit ott.
