Give me a three letter middle name that goes with Iris

[Thandeka]

DD has a lovely name (if I say so myself- 4letters then three and it kinda makes a double name if we are so inclined)

Pregnant again and though its too early to start thinking of such we both like Iris but want a 3 letter middle name that could possibly be used as a double name (as will match really well with DD's name).

So far I kinda like
Iris Mae
Iris Ava

but they aren't "it" so I need more suggestions please!

Completely stumped for boys names but will worry about that after 20week scan if they say its a boy!

Joy

Rae

Iris Lyn
Iris Bel[le]
Iris Jane

I do love the Iris Joy suggestion though

Yes - normally Joy wouldn't be on my list of favourite names, but Iris Joy is lovely.

Personally I think you need to have a longer middle name to go with Iris.

Iris Madeline
Iris Constance
Iris Catherine
Iris Louisa

Iris is very nice BTW.

Una
Luz
Sky
Kim
Amy

Think three letters too short with Iris? The scansion isn't right - you need three syllables plus
eg
Amelia
Aurora
etc

Iris Ivy
Iris Ada
Iris Lux

It doesn't end there, though - don't forget there is a surname to follow. Without knowing what it sounds like, we can't really judge, can we?

Agree that a longer name scans much better.

Belle is pretty
Jane

That's true excellentadventure. Though I think I still prefer more syllables unless the surname has, say, ten.

I like Iris Mae, poss because we liked Isla Mae as one of our choices! Also not as out there as some of the other combos!

Think three letters too short with Iris? The scansion isn't right - you need three syllables plus

I agree. Or a two syllable name with the stress on the second syllable, like Marie or Suzanne perhaps.

Ada

Rae

Dee

Bee

Jan

Ali

Ria

Mia

Ann

Caz

Pip

Iris Ann-my fave
Iris Fay

Going for longer names -
Iris Ellie
Iris Kate
Iris Eleanor

Iris Niamh (not sure if anyone suggested, just scanned through previous posts) - I think this is beautiful.

oops, sorry misread - thought you were wanting one syllable not 3 letters (still think Iris Niamh lovely though, otherwise Iris Fay is good suggestion)

Immediately thought "Fay"

Ooh I like Iris Niamh, but also like Iris Evelyn.

Iris Ann or Iris Faye still my faves tho :-)

I like Iris Fay(e)
But I quite like Iris Claire and that's not what you were after.

Iris Maud
Iris Ann
Iris Bay
Iris Maeve
Iris Jean
Iris Bo
Iris Belle
Iris Elle

3 letters is trickier than 1 syllable....so many possible combinations but I do know an Iris May and she is lovely x

either Fay or Ann

Iris Fay is lovely.
