Iris as a baby name

[1Willow23]

Hi I love the name Iris and it has a special family meaning.... I am pregnant with my
3rd daughter, and I’m thinking of calling her Iris. I’m stuck on a middle name though.

It is Iris-Olivia or Iris Indie-Rea at the moment. Both go with our surname. Please let me know your thoughts I haven’t got long to go....

Iris is lovely and goes fine with Olivia. Indie and Rea are not nice, though. Don’t hyphenate. Iris doesn’t shorten easily - I see that as a bonus though.

Iris - changed to 'Rissy' in our family.

Keep the flower theme, if you want something unusual:
Iris Briar
Iris Violet
Iris May

Iris means rainbow. You could maybe call her that for a family name - it’s longer admittedly but is rather sweet.

Iris Olivia is nice. I know an Iris Matilda.

Definitely don’t hyphenate any of the names.

Iris can be nicknamed Irie “eye-ree” or Rissie.

Iris Olivia is gorgeous. Rissy for a nn is nice

Please don’t hyphenate! She will be judged for it and you will too unfortunately!
Why does your DH want to shorten the name? What’s wrong with just Iris? IMO if you want so badly a name you can shorten, maybe it’s not the name for you if you don’t want to use it in it’s full form before the baby is even here

Iris Olivia, no hyphen

My mother was Iris Vivienne, beautiful names. Can't really shorten Iris and Viv would be pretty good.

I love Iris Olivia, without the hyphen.

My friends gave their daughter a hyphenated name for the same reason as your husband wants one, it lasted 3 days before everyone, including them, only used the first of the 2 names.

Iris is so nice. Iris Olivia is lovely but no hyphen. Love Iris Vivienne that someone else said

ooh what a lovely name, I love the name Iris!
I prefer Iris Olivia, sounds great x
