Sibling for Iris

20 replies

Jemimapuddleduk · 04/05/2014 10:44

I am struggling to come up with a name I love as much as Iris for our second baby due in the autumn.
Would love to hear any ideas of sibling names that 'fit' with Iris. We would like 2 middle names too.

So far Dh is loving Arthur and Constance. I am liking but not loving Arthur, Miles/Myles, Clara, Constance, Sylvie.

Thanks

I think Sylvie is lovely with Iris.

Sylvie has really grown on me, the more I see it in here Smile

Mabel, Una, Bonnie, Nina

Have fun choosing!

I have an Iris and a Clara. I think they go well together! Also considered Sylvie,though I would have named her Sylvia on bc. So in case we have similar tastes - my other ideas were Nell (Eleanor), Romilly and Mary.

Thank you all. Some great ideas.
I love Beatrice/Beatrix and Nell is lovely too. Dh loves Violet but I think it may be too flower themed with Iris. I need to convince Dh that Clara isn't a cow's name (weirdo- and not sure how his brain made that link!).
We both like Hector for a boy but it sounds terrible with our surname. Love Edward/ted but is out due to close friends ds.

Iris & Clara

Iris & Quentin

Can't believe no one has said Cornelius yet!

Serious suggestions are Martha and Noah

MargotIris · 05/05/2014 08:00

I have a Margot Iris and a Clara.

Clara is a cow's name in Germany I think but they're shaking that off now and it's very popular for babies there now. Like Daisy here. My Clara loves her Clara Cow touch and feel book! She can't get much with her name on so she'll take what she can.

Ooooh, I'm putting Iris on my list. It'd go lovely with my Madeleine.

Iris & Madeleine... Perfect!

Oh, and Rupert for a boy. ??
