Baby girl name, can’t decide!

Hi! Need a bit of help choosing a name. I have a baby daughter called Ember Milly and we are expecting her sister in February but can’t decide on a name for her. Iris and Margot are top of our list. I don’t absolutely love either to be honest but my partner loves them both as his grandma was Margaret and his auntie was Iris. I picked Ember (just loved it) and Milly was my grandmothers name so only fair he gets to pick this one. Which do people prefer?

I like Iris better than Margot.

Iris. Beautiful and won’t ever date.

I prefer Margot but honestly, Iris in nice too, and no NN with that name.
Margot of course you can use Meg or Margie ( hard G) Maggie, Mars, Go, Mags.

Prefer Margaret. Iris is nicer than Margot, which seems faddy.

You could shorten Margaret to Maggie. Meg or Margo.

Margaret Iris or Iris Margaret

Iris Margaret

Iris is my favourite from your list.

Have you considered Marguerite as alternative to Margaret?

Justme2023123 · 14/10/2024 17:25

I've never liked the sound of Iris so I will have to say Margot

marshmallowfinder · 14/10/2024 17:38

Not keen on either, especially Margot which looks like Maggot. If you're not keen on either name, you shouldn't use them OP! Find names you both like.

I think they’re both lovely! I think I prefer Margot, but think Ember and Iris is a nice pairing.

hideawayforever · 14/10/2024 17:40

Iris

vegandspice · 14/10/2024 17:41

Both names are lovely. How about Elsie ?

Everleigh13 · 14/10/2024 17:43

I like Margot the best.

Moreteaandchocolate · 14/10/2024 18:21

I love both Iris and Margot - I think I’d pick Margot.

Like Iris and Margaret. Not keen on Margot.

RogueFemale · 14/10/2024 21:59

Iris, because with Margot you get the awful Maggie nickname.

Daisybuttercup12345 · 14/10/2024 23:01

Iris.

BoleynMemories13 · 15/10/2024 06:08

I much prefer Iris.

I really like Isla and Ivy but both are so popular. Don’t want her to go to school and there be another 2-3 in her class

I really like Iris and think it goes well with Ember. Prefer Margaret to Margot, but they both feel less like a natural fit.

I love Iris with Ember.

They are so visual as a beautiful warm fire colour and a deep velvety purple..
