I have read 2 baby name books cover to cover and check this board almost daily.. NOTHING! Angry

I have been in love with ONE girl's name for years & years - absolutely impossible with my now married surname. Angry Angry

I see a name, I kind of like it, I say it out loud, I hate it.
I see a name, I kind of like it. I say it to Dh, he wrinkles his nose or looks at me in shock.
I see a name, I kind of like it, I think it's quite vintage/retro - it's so popular, if I said it at the school gates, i'd have 50 kids at my feet.

DH says a name, I walk away in disbelief... Confused Hmm

In my head, I think I want a 2 syllable name but wouldn't be opposed to 3 or a potentially adjoining middle name. Our surname is only one syllable.

I don't know if we are having a girl or a boy and will not be finding out... HELP!

No names starting with 'D' otherwise they'd be DRoss but you probably thought of that already!

If you like the sound of Iris how about:

Irene

Irina

Ivy

Iona

Isla

Aoife

Eileen/Aileen

Aideen

clarabellski · 06/08/2015 15:07

Also personally I'd just go with Iris if you love it. Chances are she gets married at some point and changes her surname anyway.

Ahemily · 06/08/2015 15:09

Ivy is lovely.

alexpolistigers · 06/08/2015 15:17

I also had just one girl's name to use, and fortunately I was able to use it!

I realy don't know what I would have done if I had had another girl, but as it turns out, she was followed by a boy.

Mine is Ariadne. I just love it! If you really like Iris, then go for it. People won't call her Iris Ross all the time, every time they speak to her.

Floggingmolly · 06/08/2015 15:19

There's nothing at all wrong with Iris Ross. Go for it.

IHopeYouStepOnALegoPiece · 06/08/2015 15:25

Absolutely nothing wrong with Iris Ross! I love it!

I have definitely heard of worse / more difficult names than Ross (including mine!).

I guess I would avoid anything ending in 's'. Also anything starting with 'd' or 'g' or 'c'...

Love Thea.

My daughters first name doesn't really go well with our surname. But it never really comes up, how many times a day do you say your full name out loud? And we love her first name.
