Asher Daniel and Naomi Primrose
Or

Unfortunately I don't like asher, I would have Daniel asher and would have either iris naomi or naomi iris as I don't like primrose or ingrid

BackforGood · 13/11/2020 10:58

I don't like Asher either. (Love Daniel).
Naomi and Ingrid are both okay in my mind. Be aware people pronounce Naomi in very different ways - don't know if that is a consideration?
Personally not keen on Primrose but I don't think it matters much in a middle name - I tend to assume it was the parents' Grandparent's name or something.

Asher and Naomi are brilliant.

I reiterate the pronunciation thing. My DD is Naomi. I say "Neigh-OH-mee". Husband's Israeli family say "Nah-oh-MEE" and every man and his dog say "Nye-oh-mee".

Asher Daniel and Naomi Iris

I'm not sure about Ingrid and Iris together and Primrose isn't as lovely as Iris

Quizeerascal · 13/11/2020 12:56

Love Asher Daniel and Naomi Primrose, Ingrid doesn't go as well imo

missmouse101 · 13/11/2020 12:59

Great names, I love them! But no to Ingrid as it is very harsh sounding and ugly. Iris is awful. Part of the eye.

emmathedilemma · 13/11/2020 13:26

Asher and Naomi (I'd assume Jewish?)
I don't like Ingrid and I don't think it works with Iris as a middle name.

user1493494961 · 13/11/2020 13:58

Dislike Asher and Ingrid.

Mishmased · 13/11/2020 14:09

I love Asher and Naomi as that is one of my children's name ☺️. It is a beautiful name that means happy in Hebrew. I think it goes nicely as a twin name.
Naomi as pp mentioned may be pronounced differently but people need to be told once or twice the correct pronunciation and they get it, same as a lot of names. Congrats to your friend.

I love iris very beautiful. Daniel is a good solid name, very popular and I'm not keen on Ingrid or primrose.

Constance1 · 13/11/2020 14:12

I'd choose Asher and Iris for the first names.

MikeUniformMike · 13/11/2020 14:56

Not keen on Asher (Gnasher) or Naomi (people say it differently.

Primrose a bit too prim, and Iris is just ok.

I like Ingrid and Daniel.

elfran · 13/11/2020 16:30

Asher goes best with Naomi as others have said. Both being biblical names with a modern feel. (I don't love Asher but that's neither here nor there!)

Personally I love Ingrid the most of any of those names, but as a set it works better with Daniel, which I assume is off the table as a first name?

pilates · 13/11/2020 17:10

Dislike Asher, the rest are ok

SpacePug · 13/11/2020 17:17

I love Asher Daniel. The only Asher I know is female but I do like it for a boy.
Not keen on Naomi or Ingrid, I quite like Primrose as a middle name and I like Iris as a first name, so maybe Iris Primrose

helpmum2003 · 13/11/2020 17:19

I don't like Asher, love Daniel.

I like all 4 girls names but don't think I'd put Ingrid and Iris together. I think Naomi goes best with Daniel. As she likes floral names what about Naomi Rose or Naomi Bluebell

Chilldonaldchill · 13/11/2020 17:23

I'm not a big Asher fan but it's ok. I actually prefer it to Daniel.
Naomi is ok; Ingrid feels harsh to me.
I prefer Naomi Iris to any of the options on the post but Iris Naomi would be my preference if I could choose any combination of the four. Asher and Iris also feels a much fresher combination.
Asher and Naomi feels very religious to me (Jewish or Christian). If they're not then I would consider whether they are happy with that.

finallychangedmyusername · 13/11/2020 18:23

I adore Asher and Naomi was my top girls name choice! Daniel is wonderful; I'm less keen on Primrose but it's an ok name.

It would bother me (and probably no one else Grin ) to have 3/4 Hebrew names.

I'd go Asher Daniel and Naomi Anna but that's just me. Grin

Firebird83 · 13/11/2020 21:32

Naomi goes much better with Asher than Ingrid does.

Gremlinpoop · 13/11/2020 21:35

I can't see Naomi without seeing I moan backwards ( sorry it is a nice name but it is I moan)
I don't like Asher so would go with Daniel and Iris probably.

MercyBodle · 13/11/2020 22:36

I dislike both Asher and Naomi.
Love, love, love Ingrid, Iris and Primrose.
Daniel and Ingrid?

DepuisToujours · 13/11/2020 23:06

Asher Daniel and Ingrid Iris Smile.

Very nice! Congratulations to your friend.

Porridgeoat · 13/11/2020 23:09

Asher Naomi

Porridgeoat · 13/11/2020 23:10

Daniel is awful

YoniAndGuy · 14/11/2020 11:26

None of them sound brilliant together tbh. I quite like all of them separately apart from Naomi as I find it a bit whiny and it also gets pronounced differently which i imagine would be annoying. Asher and Naomi is actually quite a mouthful to say together. Asher and Ingrid go better. Daniel is fine but dull. Prefer Primrose with Ingrid

IckleBear · 14/11/2020 15:40

Asher Daniel and Ingrid Primrose
