Iris Elizabeth or Iris Amelia?

[threecurrantbuns]

One syllable surname.

Really can't decide they are the top two middle names so far

Iris Elizabeth - lovely!

Elizabeth

Elizabeth.

Lovely name

Amelia

I think Iris Elizabeth goes better, but both lovely

I think Amelia, Iris Elizabeth is a bit old lady for me, Amelia brings it a bit into the 21st century.

Elizabeth

Amelia

Im bumping this as im still really torn and keep going back and forth.

Iris Elizabeth is gorgeous. Not so keen on Amelia.

Iris Amelia flows better, but as a name, I prefer Elizabeth to Amelia.

Any chance you would consider two middle names? Because Iris Amelia Elizabeth is actually very beautiful.

Iris Elizabeth is lovely and is what were going to call DS if he were a girl! Love it

Iris Elizabeth sounds much more sophisticated.

Iris elizabeth is gorgeous!!!

Thanks all. Tidy I did think of that and agree it sounds lovely. But this is our fourth and the first 3 only have 1 middle name so doesn't seem right some how.

Plus don't think dh would go for It as he would be happy to skip middle names all together. Does sound gorgeous though.

I know an Emilia Iris, lovely combination I think

It's a tough choice as I like them both.

We were set on Iris Elizabeth until someone said she have the nn Rissy Lizzy. The poster was saying that as a positive ... I think.

But it didn't occur to me and I really don't like it. So that started me thinking of an alternative. In my head Iris Elizabeth would not have a nn as would just be Iris day to day?

neither - as they run into each other.

I know an Iris who always gets called Iris, never Rissy, so I wouldn't let that put you off. No one seems to shorten her name actually. I love Iris Elizabeth, flows nicely and really pretty.

I never get this

Unless you are specifically going to always address the child by both names then does it really matter if they "flow"?

Just pick the names you like best!

Miss off the Iris.(horrible)

Elizabeth is lovely.

Elizabeth Amelia.
