Do these work together as a first and middle name?

We’re dead set on Dorothy as a first name and I like Iris because it’s pretty and has a strong family connection. But I don’t know if Iris works with it as a middle name. What do others think?

Gorgeous. I love Dorothy. Iris is very pretty, too. I dont think the Rs are too repetitive. Put the other way Iris Dorothy they would be, but. Dorothy Iris just rolls off the tongue.

Yes, it's a lovely combination.

Personally not keen on Dorothy. Although Dolly as a pp said is a nice nickname. As is Dotty/Dottie

Love Iris though!

I just can't imagine having a baby Dorothy. It's like having a baby Steve.

My quibble with Dorothy is the. Dot or Dotty . I would like to be called Dotty, even though I may be some days.
But your choice and thee two names do go well together
