Apologies, only 22 weeks and here I am again. These two names keep moving back up to the top of our list, so I think we may have got our final two. Would really appreciate your feedback, as DH just keeps saying he is happy to go with what ever I choose.... Lovely of him to say so but doesn't really help with my indecisive mind :-) thanks everyone

Phoebe Iris. Too many l's in Lillian for me.

HollyJollyDillydolly · 18/02/2015 21:11

I love the name phoebe

Prefer Iris to either Lillian or Phoebe.

Prefer Phoebe to Lillian, although not that keen on Phoebe.

Love Iris!

Phoebe iris. Lillian may turn into Lily... V popular.

KERALA1 · 18/02/2015 21:19

Lots of Lily's name now lost its charm through overuse if her being one of several in her year bothers you I would avoid

MehsMum · 18/02/2015 21:31

All lovely!

corgiology · 18/02/2015 21:32

Phoebe Lillian :)

Phoebe Iris

M1985 · 18/02/2015 22:20

Phoebe Iris, but I'm a little bias as I have a Phoebe Isabelle :)

elvisola · 18/02/2015 22:26

Phoebe Iris would actually be DD3 name if we had one. I love Poebe anyway and Iris after my mum.

DramaAlpaca · 18/02/2015 22:27

Phoebe Iris

NorksAreMessy · 18/02/2015 22:31

I adore Lillian, such a pretty name

Sophronia · 18/02/2015 22:44

Lillian Iris. I'm not keen on Phoebe.

VixxFace · 18/02/2015 22:53

Phoebe is a bad name.

I vote iris lilia.

mathanxiety · 18/02/2015 23:02

Lillian Iris is too many flowers -- Lillian will turn into Lily..

Phoebe Iris is very nice imo.

x post, but Phoebe Lillian?

Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost · 18/02/2015 23:30

Pheobe Iris. Lillian is a horrible name, but don't know if she will be known as Lily which pretty but getting boring now, every other baby girl is named Lily these days, erm news flash... News mums.... Lily is not the only girls name the exists,!!!!

ScaryChicken · 18/02/2015 23:39

Phoebe Iris

LollyLondon · 19/02/2015 09:27

Phoebe Iris is lovely.

Just hoping you don't have a "G" surname...!

Thanks everyone. Good to know that Phoebe is well liked. Iris or even Lillian now, will be considered for middle name. This is really helping me, with getting closer to making a decision. Will not decide for definite until I meet her but I feel a lot more settled with these two chosen names. Just out of curiosity, how many Phoebes do u know under the age of 5. Thanks :)

I don't know any Phoebes under 5 (North London). Phoebe was my second name choice for DD, she ended up Iris!

Methe · 19/02/2015 19:03

Lillian Iris is absolutely beautiful but you know it'll get shortened to Lilly and Lilly Iris are 2 flowers, which might be a consideration?

I don't like Phoebe.

Viviennemary · 19/02/2015 19:07

I'm not overkeen on Phoebe. I really like Iris but not sure if it goes with Lilian. I think Lily Iris goes a bit better but two flowers together. Hmm.

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 19/02/2015 19:17

Phoebe Iris

GotToBeInItToWinIt · 19/02/2015 19:19

Oh and I don't know any phoebes under 5 (or over 5!), live in Bristol.
