Names that go with Iris

What names do you think sound nice with Iris? Not common flower names like Daisy/Poppy etc as our dc are so very tall and we think these are too cutesy. A 6ft Daisy would not be good imo!! Grin

Boys and girls names please folks!

Phoebe- always think of Friends, too American sorry.
Douglas- my ex bil so nope

Edith- love it but friends baby is Edith. Raging about that as really love it and think goes well.

All the others are not me really although i do like Clara just not sure i love it.

I like the name Sage but don't like the herb so puts me right off! If i think of sage green i love it but sage and onion stuffing not so much.....Grin

If you like Sage, how about Saffron or Sorrel? Both go nicely with Iris I think.

How about Meredith? You get a sneaky Edith as part of her name!

chocfireguard · 29/05/2015 14:43

I second the Esme suggestion! Iris & Esme sound great together imo. Other suggestions: Wren, Sophie/Sophia.

For a boy, how about Elijah (nn Eli?) or Rigby?
