Sibling names to go with Iris

My DD is called Iris. DH and I had the song by the Goo Goo Dolls as our first dance at our wedding and we both love the name so much that we argue about which one of us came up with it.

Now pg with DC2. We don't know the gender yet but intend to find out. We can't come up with anything for either gender that we love and agree on and DMIL seems to insist that this baby's name must 'go with' Iris.

My absolute fave name of Gabriel has been vetoed by DH because apparently he'd be teased at school for being gay - fgs! Angry

Any suggestions?

The Iris I know has sisters called Margot and Tilly (Matilda). Apparently Margot might have been Audrey. Any of those appeal?

Iris and Linnet / Wren / Pearl (ooh, colour too there!) / Eden

Some lovely suggestions. Thanks!

Fingers - I've been surprised by how many people have been really complimentary about her name because I was concerned it was too 'old lady'.
