There is still sometime to change my mind but atm I am getting there with a boys name.

So I'm between Iris and Beatrix for a girl both with Elizabeth as a middle name.

I have an Iris and another flower name. Also two boys.

Initially feared it might be too twee but love Iris, and we don't have a nn.

I think Iris and Daisy are fine for sisters, yes they're both flower names but not too similar otherwise.

I've never heard Iris shortened to a nickname. Don't think it needs it really!

Iris is really pretty. Not mad on Beatrix but do like Beatrice.

I think they're both lovely (although prefer Beatrice) can you not wait and see which suits her more?

I prefer Beatrix- was on our list for DC2 (who turned out male in the end)

Gosh, I love love both of these names and both are on my list should I ever have a DD.

I honestly don't know which I love more. Probably Iris has the edge for me but they are both lovely! Good choices!
