what do you think are both names together a bit much/strong? surname cook so feel i need a bit of a longish middle name..orignally were going with iris rose? but people said too flowery n not sure if the middle name is long enough

Iris Elizabeth was my (sadly no longer with us) mother-in-law's name. I am still sad that I didn't have a girl to name after her. Am feeling overemotional now!

lovely

Jenbot · 26/03/2010 00:15

Yes, sounds really nice!

Beautiful - Iris was the top of my list, but when baby arrived she just didn't seem like one. So we chose a different first name and kept the Elizabeth as the middle name

My mother's names!

Love Iris! I would have thought about it, but since DD's name begins with I and I don't like having siblings with the same initial, I haven't put it on our shortlist.

Iris Elizabeth is a pretty combination, too. Iris Eliza might also work.

nice

Jamieandhismagictorch · 23/03/2010 18:16

Lovely

Really like it, like short first names and as we are now a few years beyond the file about Iris Murdoch, will not be too popular.

I went for Ava for my first and was reall ystumped for second, Love Elizabeth as middle name, much better than Rose- which is nice but Eliz better with Iris
Lucky lucky yuo having a girl to name

Perfect. I would call a future DD that if DH ever agreed to ANY of my names!

dizzydixies · 22/03/2010 11:52

fine together

persephoneplum · 22/03/2010 11:49

Nice combo but capital letters are always nice to see ;) I'm glad you're not going with Rose in the middle - it's so boring.

Prinpo · 22/03/2010 09:22

Lovely - they all sound great together.
