Struggling to decide between these three names and only 4 weeks until due date. Which would you choose?

Iris! I love it.

tomatosalt · 02/02/2018 09:52

Iris! It’s utterly beautiful

Mrsknackered · 02/02/2018 09:53

Iris, I love it. Not a massive fan of the other two.

ObiJuanKenobi · 02/02/2018 09:53

I love Jemima and Iris (also Violet & Penelope)

Shockers · 02/02/2018 09:54

Jemima is DD’s middle name, and would’ve been her first name had she not been adopted and already in possession of a name. I love it!

queeninthemaking · 02/02/2018 09:54

Another vote for Iris here! It's a beautiful name.

FallenAngel89 · 02/02/2018 09:55

Iris is lovely. My name is Gemma and I don't mind it being shortened to Gem but otherwise don't particularly like my name so I personally wouldn't choose Jemima Smile

Friolero · 02/02/2018 09:56

Another vote for Iris, it's a beautiful name.

StableGenius · 02/02/2018 09:58

Oh, I love them all. Great choices, all would be on my shortlist if I ever had another dd.

I'd have to stick a pin in the list, I think.

Iris is the 'coolest' currently, so perhaps there would be more of them. But then there's the 'royal effect' with Charlotte too.

On that basis, maybe Jemima.

Iris

ChocolateCrunch · 02/02/2018 10:25

Jemima

JumpingFrogs · 02/02/2018 10:40

All lovely. Iris is very much on the up at the moment so suspect it will date more than the others. I would probably go for Jemima as it's less common than Charlotte without being too weird...

eggofmantumbi · 02/02/2018 10:45

Love Iris. If I have another girl it'd be on my list of potentials.

Thanks for your speedy replies. Charlotte comes last surprisingly although this is my husband's least favourite so it works out well. So it's Iris or Jemima hmmmn...

Jemima

ShanghaiDiva · 02/02/2018 11:25

iris - lovely!

userabcname · 02/02/2018 11:40

Jemima

Grumpants · 02/02/2018 11:52

Iris is trending at the moment I know 3! Thus more likely to date. Jemima is stunning and doesn’t seem so common, I don’t know any. Charlotte is very popular I know many of every age plus the royal effect. Jemima is beautiful and the stand out name.

Uhohmummy · 02/02/2018 12:45

LOVE Jemima! Please use it as my DH has vetoed Sad

Peregrane · 02/02/2018 13:58

Iris. It's gorgeous.
Second place for Charlotte.
Jemima makes me think of Jemima Puddle-Duck, sorry.
