A middle name for Erin or Iris

[Wingingitsince2018]

After going though what seems like 10000000 names DH and I seem to have settled on either Erin or Iris for DD due in January.

However having one of us seeming vetoed every name we can think I'd we are stuck for middle names for either.

Our surname starts with Law and our DS has an unusual first name but middle is Thomas, so not opposed to classics I just can't find one that flows nicely! No family names to use.

Any ideas welcome!

Ruth.

Erin/Iris ..

Isabella
Beau
Meadow
Lou
Olivia
Rosabelle
Jasmine

Erin is nice but I don't think it works with your surname. It's quite a simple short name so why didn't you go for something a little more elaborate. Imogen/Isabella/charlotte and then Erin as the middle name.
I don't like iris.
Please not Ruth, it's my middle name and possibly the most horrific name you could come up with 😂

Julia
Faye
Miriam
Catherine
Alexandra
Victoria

I regret not just picking family names as middle names. At the time I didn't want to hurt anyone ( mil) but looking back the association to family is, for me, the main thing. Middle names don't have another purpose.

It will 100% not be Ruth @Navian as that is also my middle name and passionately hated!

I agree @yikesanotherbooboo that middle names seem meant for family names but not onky would I not want to cause any upset, but none of the family names are ones that I would never actually want to use

I agree that a longer middle name is probably better and like the suggestion of Iris Emilia/Olivia

I though choosing DSs name was difficult but this is a whole new level

If not Ruth, what about Rachel or Rebecca.

@Wingingitsince2018 we just need to be grateful it isn't our first name

Iris is much nicer than Erin

Not Iris Louise or she'll be ILL

Iris is a gazillion times nicer than Erin.

I would do Iris Erin.
