We're so undecided on names for baby no3 I thought we could use some help!!

We currently have a 2nd in line to the throne and a little white and yellow garden flower!

So, we've narrowed it down to.........

Girls
Florence Poppy (dd is desperate for a Poppy!)
Harriet Rose
Iris Elizabeth

Boys
Edward Peter
Henry Peter
My Dad's called Peter so that's a cert

Thanks!!

[eileenslightlytotheleft]

Iris Elizabeth and Edward Peter.

I like Peter as a first name too.

[Quenelle]

Florence would be come known as Flo, would you mind that?

I like Harriet Rose and Henry Peter. Or Peter Henry

But then, Harriet might become known as Harry.

[PepsiPopcorn]

Florence Poppy or Edward Peter

[PepperPotts]

Thanks everybody.

Lots of food for thought for us tonight!

My fave was Iris, but am getting unsure as it's short and we have a short surname so think it might sound cold, hence Elizabeth as a long middle name.
Plus the 2 flowers is off putting

Of course we'd have a William and Harry with Harriet, why didn't I think of that! Durrrrr!

I like tons and tons of girls names (Martha, Alice, Beatrice) but dh really does not and ideally I would like him to agree!!

[ShowOfHands]

Iris and Edward.

Henry's nice too though. Harriet and Florence are a bit meh.

Plus with Harriet you're going to have a William and Harry aren't you...

[alexandra65]

Florence and Henry

[Longtalljosie]

Harriet Poppy / Edward Peter

[telsa]

Don't like Iris at all and Iris Elizabeth sounds so snooty and sedate. Two common flower names is not great - but I agree that maybe a less common flower, such as Zinnia or Alyssa or Aster, or Marguerite, Zahara or Fleur might be good.

I think Florence Poppy is cure - as is Harriet Rose. Boys - only really like Peter there.

[Janus]

I like them all!
Love Florence, on my shortlist too but am concerned there will be loads this year. Really like Iris and not so keen on Harriet (but that's only because my older daughter gets some abuse from a big bruising Harriet so very personal to me!). We have a Rosie so obviously like Rose as a middle name, like Poppy lots too. How about a cuter form of Elizabeth as a middle name (I love Betsy!!).
Boys, I have to say I know quite a few Edwards, I like the name and especially the shortened 'Ed' and 'Eddie', just as long as it doesn't bother you that it's quite well used at the moment. Henry on my shortlist for boys!!
I'm on number 4 and definitely know what you mean about choosing yet another name!!

[Lonnie]

Girls
Florence Poppy (dd is desperate for a Poppy!)
Harriet Rose
Iris Elizabeth

Boys
Edward Peter
Henry Peter

I like Iris Elizabeth personally and I would use Edward not Henry to avoid 2nd and 3rd in line to the throne... However yuo may get comments on 2 flower names and if thats a issue I prefeer Florence over Harriet

[8rubberduckies]

Iris and Edward from me too, although in the context of your family I am also not sure on the wisdom of having two flowers.

[GORGEOUSX]

Harriet Rose and Edward

[ivykaty44]

Florence Poppy and Peter Henry

[lilibet]

Iris and Edward for me, I think Rose is beautiful but when it's a second name I always want to say -

Harriet rose from the chair and left the room. (Sorry!)

[jugglingjo]

If my children are ever looking for suggestions for their children one day I might suggest Rose, as I had a Rose as a great-great grandmother and she was pretty cool, having 11 children, and going out to Canada to help her younger sons build log cabins and her daughters in law to have their babies !

One such daughter in law (my great-grandmother) was a Florence.

Didn't use any of this family history though when naming our two - Just special experiences and flowers which we love too

Can definitely imagine a grand-daughter one day, Rose or Rosie ! That would be nice

[mollymole]

i love Harriet Rose but, so sorry, can't bring myself to like Peter at all, but henry or harry as a 1st name is lovely

[PepperPotts]

Twee is my concern! I thought Iris wasn't quite as "pretty-pretty" as some others which I like (Rose, Poppy, Violet)

Trouble with Peter is to me it's my Dad, my Dad is fab, but he's 63, I just can't see it as a baby/tot/teenager.

I agree about the million Florence's too. But Florrie is so nice!

[Onion1968]

Harriet Rose is classy, Florence Poppy sounds like the kind of name a tv presenter would give their kid, Iris Elizabeth is ok.
Do not like either combo of Edward or Henry followed by Peter but if you swap it round, Peter Henry is nice.

[jugglingjo]

Poppy Florence - would delight DD
We let DD1 choose name for DS (from a selection of suggestions )
OR Florence Poppy if you prefer ( Florence is a beautiful city ! )

And it has to be Edward Peter as we have an Edward and I think it's worked out really well for him.
Ed is quite cool, Eddie is quite cute
and there's all those lovely teddy references like Edward bear for Winnie the Pooh

[FlingonTheValiant]

Then go for Peter I say.

Could you have a more unusual flower? A less well known one? It might seem less, well, twee (for want of a better word).

[PepperPotts]

Thanks everybody!!

That's exactly my concern about Henry, but he is more widely known as Harry and the flower sister is in the middle so I wasn't sure how many people would notice it!

Funnily enough DH loves Peter as a first name

Am equally unsure about 2 flowers, DD is mad keen on Poppy but I keep telling her we don't live in flowertot garden!

I was a florist until ds was born so am very keen on lots of flower names.

This is so much more complex third time round!

[JoanofArgos]

Harriet and Edward.
Florence is pretty but there are going to be billions of them shortly.
