Girl names help

[Leaf86]

Please could we have some honest opinions on our girl’s list, any standout favourites or similar suggestions?

At the moment, we are leaning towards Iris, which has been my favourite for years, but I’m suddenly panicking it is too popular.

Iris
Agnes
Erin
Nell
Astrid

I also like (but can’t use) Violet and Harriet.

Middle name is likely to be either Mary or Jean.

My thoughts exactly. :)

Iris - such a beautiful flower.
Agnes - I like it but don't like Aggie
Erin - mean girl name
Nell - like it but don't like Nelly
Astrid - prefer Ingrid, but it's nice.

Iris Mary seems perfect.

Love all your choices other than Agnes, which I'm not at all keen on. Astrid probably my fave (although don't like Ingrid.), then Iris.

Also like pps suggestion of Iona, really lovely and was on our list for dd.

Astrid or Agnes, both lovely. I think Astrid Mary sounds better than Astrid Jean, or Agnes Jean.

Unless Harriet is a possible middle name?

I only know 1 Iris, it's a lovely nane.

I think Agnes is brilliant too, such a fiesty name. I also like Astrid.

I actually know quite a few Nell's, seems to be on the up.

Have you considered Enid or Ingrid both strong names that have a similar feel to your list

Oh I missed Erin.

I like Erin, it was very popular a few years ago but seems less so now. I think your other choices are nicer though

I don’t understand why Iris is so popular as I think it’s quite ugly. Agnes is awful and Astrid is harsh.

Erin is nice but also popular. I like Nell.

Thank you everyone! Really helpful. It’s funny how polarising some names can be - I think we may rule out Agnes for that reason.

I do really like Ingrid, but my partner isn’t a fan. Thank you for all the other new suggestions, we’re working through them.

Nell is a great name.
All the best people are called Nell..😏
