Ivy, Iris or Isla?

Which one do you prefer as a sibling for Elliot?

I love Isla, but was worried about popularity. I keep swapping between Ivy and Iris. Both I love one minute then have doubts the next.

Phoebe was also on the list but I think I’ve gone off it.

Iris, it's classic and pretty.

Iris

Ivy!

Ivy or Iris are both lovely. Isla seems a bit faddy now.

Ivy

There’s a lot of Ivy/Ivies. I’d go Iris

bridgetreilly · 03/12/2018 19:56

In order:
Elliot and Iris
Elliot and Ivy
Elliot and Isla

But I actually like them all!

Iris

pipilangstrumpf · 03/12/2018 19:58

I thought Iris is becoming quite popular (and Isla was very popular), so to me Ivy seems the most classic

Iris

Penny33 · 03/12/2018 20:28

Ivy

baubled · 03/12/2018 20:31

All nice but I love Ivy

RedWineIsFabulous · 03/12/2018 20:32

Honesty? Love all three!

Couldn’t choose to be honest as they’re all so pretty!

Notveryadventurousname · 03/12/2018 20:34

Iona?

Kintan · 03/12/2018 20:37

Iris! Isla has become very popular, and to me Ivy is a really dull name.

Mumshappy · 03/12/2018 20:39

Ivy or Iris I dont like Isla

SeigneurLapindeGrantham · 03/12/2018 20:41

Isla it's so pretty

MamaDane · 03/12/2018 20:45

Isla. All three names are lovely though. Don't worry too much about popularity. It just means a lot of people have your good taste in names Wink

Thanks everyone.... glad all 3 are generally liked but I’ve now still no idea which to pick! I might let DS choose nearer the time by drawing it from a hat!

Isla

Haworthia · 03/12/2018 21:51

Isla is top ten (or very close to it) so personally I’d avoid for that reason. Ivy is getting really popular too - I know more than one. Now, that might make it seem like I prefer Iris by a process of elimination, but actually I LOVE it and wanted it for DC2 (who was a boy) Grin

ArtisanPopcorn · 03/12/2018 21:57

They're all nice but they're also all very popular which would put me off.

strawberrypenguin · 03/12/2018 22:11

Isla. I love it but DH would have vetoed it if we'd had a girl!
