Nancy.

AnyaMoondial · 15/04/2018 19:04

Iris is my favourite, then Nancy. Both fantastic names.

chezmk1988 · 15/04/2018 22:32

Love them all but iris is my fave, closely followed by Sylvie

Buntysoven · 15/04/2018 23:46

Nancy but I'm very biased!

OliviaStabler · 15/04/2018 23:48

Meredith

Iris and Nancy.

Meredith is really frumpy.

Love Iris

Like Sylvie but prefer Sylvia

Meredith is Okay - Merry is a cute nickname.

Don't like Nancy

All opinions seem pretty positive which is nice 😊 Does anyone know anyone with these names and if so, do any of them have nicknames? I generally love a nn but I seem to have picked names that don’t naturally have any!

I know a three year old Meredith who's called Merry!

Theyhaveallbeenused2 · 16/04/2018 08:09

Nancy

Scottishgirl85 · 16/04/2018 09:00

Meredith is fab, Merry as a nm.

RidingWindhorses · 16/04/2018 09:11

I know an Iris but her family nn is unrelated to her name. The Nancy I know is called Ninon.

Ginandplatonic · 16/04/2018 10:47

I know two Irises - no nicknames.

starkid · 16/04/2018 16:07

I like Nancy and Iris, not so much the other two.

Bluebirdsky · 16/04/2018 18:22

Meredith seems to be quite popular at the moment; I know if two in my group of friends personally Iris is my favourite

BasicBetty · 17/04/2018 15:55

Sylvie is a beautiful name.
Iris also lovely.

Sylvie and Iris seem to be the front runners and happen to be my favourite too 😊 Thank you for all the opinions! They’ve been really helpful. Now just need to decide middle names and wait and see which of the two suits her most when she’s born!

Sylvie, Iris, Nancy, Meredith.

Sylvie is lovely, not keen on the others

ChiragGoopta · 17/04/2018 21:41

Nancy or Sylvie. Iris just reminds me of eyeballs or elderly ladies and it's quite harsh sounding. Meredith sounds like a contraceptive.
