Rate my names number 2!

[wishing3]

I’m back for more help please! Thoughts on the following as a sibling for Iris:
Anthea
Maia
Julia
Other suggestions welcome. Dispute these choices I often prefer a name that doesn’t end in vowels. I’d like something kind of simple and not too try hard if that makes sense. A Greek or goddess name would also be cool in terms of ‘matching’ Iris-though not that important. Don’t want anything that sounds too old lady revival as I think it’d sound a bit too retirement home alongside Iris. Thanks!

I did think about Zoe-quite like that thanks. Xanthe just seems a bit too different for me I think.

They all seem a bit too …fussy(?)or not quite my vibe but thanks very much for making suggestions.

Thea
Maia (but would spell Maja) is lovely too

Nova
Mira

Persephone?

I read Anthea as Athena, which I much prefer!

Juliet?

Nina

I love Julia.
Cassandra nn Cassie?

I'm not keen on them sorry, especially Anthea which I don't like at all. Maia is just so popular and that spelling will always require explanation and correction. I would go for Juliet rather than Julia if pushed.
Athena or Allegra would suit Iris

Julia is lovely. Juliet a good suggestion too.

I can't abide Anthea, too lispy. Maia is too twee to go with the gorgeous, strong, Iris.

Julia. Anthea is very dated to me

Diana
freya
juno
cleo
theia
talia
cassia
kaia
phoebe

I don't like Maia.
Anthea is a bit lispy sounding, and there are lots of Theas and Theos. Athena is nicer.
Julia is fine but I don't like Jules/Jools.

Gaia might fit the bill. Otherwise, why don't you look at goddess names and pick one you like.

Thanks
I have looked but nothing seems quite right.
