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!

[Lotkinsgonecurly]

Joy

[JamieAgain]

Rae

[pranma]

Iris Lyn
Iris Bel[le]
Iris Jane

I do love the Iris Joy suggestion though

[excellentadventure]

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

[pilates]

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

[onebatmother]

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

[TruthSweet]

Iris Ivy
Iris Ada
Iris Lux

[excellentadventure]

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?

[UrsulaBuffay]

Agree that a longer name scans much better.

[Domesticbodess]

Belle is pretty
Jane

[onebatmother]

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

[EmLH]

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!

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

Rae

Bee

Mia

Ann

[tiptoptally]

Iris Ann-my fave
Iris Fay

Going for longer names -
Iris Ellie
Iris Kate
Iris Eleanor

[olddeuteronomy]

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

[olddeuteronomy]

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

[ginmakesitallok]

Immediately thought "Fay"

[tiptoptally]

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

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

[thumbwitch]

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

[mamma2boyz]

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

[OsbegaEthelwulf]

either Fay or Ann

[Sylvaniasandwich]

Iris Fay is lovely.
