Me again.

I am very nearly due with my first girl. I would really like a nature name and was leaning towards Daisy but DH finds it too twee and simple. He doesn't think it's interesting enough but he would go with it if I really want it.
Iris and Hazel are new contenders. Iris makes me think of rainbows and beautiful flowers whereas Hazel gives me autumny brown vibes. So I'm perhaps leaning more towards Iris as it's spring. I quite like Rissy as an affectionate name.
I like that Hazel has links to Irish mythology, as my son's have Irish names, so it's also a strong contender (someone mentioned this on another thread).
Daphne is a long term favourite but it's not sticking somehow.

Help me decide please!

Congratulations, lovely news and a nice name! I was going to say that I love Iris, but I liked all the options and Iris might possibly make a nice name for a sister for Daphne one day - they both have a similar vintage vibe.

Thanks 😊 Iris was a really top contender but for some reason it just felt a bit too serious somehow. She is definitely a Daphne. She has three older brothers and we are definitely done! Maybe if we get a cat she can be an Iris 😄 I still think it's beautiful.
