Hi everyone,
We're struggling to think of a name for our rainbow baby. We like the name Iris because it is a flower name (our angel was called Poppy) and it also means rainbow (which is what our baby is) but I'm wondering whether it actually suits a baby? I also wouldn't want people to nickname her Izzy as I think people will then assume she is called Isabelle and I don't like that name.
Ruby is one we had as a potential name when we named Poppy. I'm not sure whether it is too common/popular (however you want to word it).
I really like Ramona and like the idea of using Romy as a potential nickname but I'm unsure about the name.
Ideally I want a name that links in some way to our angel, so flower names were high up in my list but my OH doesn't like a lot of them. The surname would be McDonald so it can easily result in the full name sounding really common. For example, Daisy McDonald sounds a bit farmer-ish to me, as does Rosie... agree?
I also liked the idea of using Opal as a middle name as it is the birth stone of our angel baby, but then I started to wonder whether it is weird to be trying to make a connection between them? What do people think?
I also like Dorothy (Dot, Dottie). The main thing I'm struggling with is imagining myself saying these names to 1. introduce the baby to people 2. shout across the park/playground etc
Anyone else really struggling to pick names for girls?!
