Narrowed it down to four names…

[ZiggyStardew]

There are four names me and my partner agree on for our baby girl due next month…

Hazel
Robyn
Iris
Olive

I’m surprised this is our final list as originally we only wanted unisex / tomboy names like Billie, Frankie, Stevie etc but we couldn’t agree on one as we both know people IRL (or have exes) with all of these names, so I think now we’re going with a timeless nature-inspired name instead.

So I just want opinions as I’m not sure how popular / unpopular our final four are or what connotations they kay have. Any input appreciated.

Robyn & Olive are definitely my favorite and you can still use a tomboy nickname if you would like like Robbie or Ollie

Hazel. Without a doubt.

If i was choosing for myself

1 Iris
2 Hazel
3 Olive
4 Robyn

However, I think Robyn could be a good fit for you, it fits your original unisex idea.

Hazel and Iris were in our top 4 for our 7 week old baby girl and I started a thread.
I was surprised by the extent of the love for Iris, it seems very popular on Mumsnet but I've never heard it much in real life.
I do like it and I like the meaning but it didn't feel quite 'us

Out of your list I would probably choose Hazel but Robyn is nice and gives Bobbi if you like the gender neutral thing.
I'm not overly keen on Olive personally but I don't dislike it.

Iris

olive

First three are all fine. Favourite is Iris. Please not Olive, its just so ugly.

I'm team Olive.

They’re all lovely names, and relatively unusual. The one I think will be most polarising is Olive, there’s some negative connotations and I just don’t think I’d want to be named after a food! I really liked Iris but when I was naming babies Isis was a big thing and it was just too similar.

All very lovely.
i personally love Hazel but whichever one you choose is will be great.

maybe wait until baby is here & see which one fits best.

1. Robyn

2.Iris

My beautiful daughter is named Hazel, we chose it because the meaning is linked to feminine power, and healing. I like the other three names as well, the best of luck whichever you choose

Olive is ugly as is Iris tbh. It's the coloured part of the eye. I love Hazel.

I like American names.

Love these.

I’ll tell that to my newborn baby grand daughter when she’s a bit older 😂

To the OP, I like Iris, and our baby Olive looks just like a little round Olive and her name suits her perfectly. Everyone is entitled to like or dislike a name but how a name can be described as “lumpen” is ridiculous. It’s been a name a couple of hundred years, and variations of it for much longer.

I love Robyn and Iris is lovely too. Olive is ok but I’m not a fan of Hazel at all.
I also love Amber for a nature name and Billie and Frankie (Francesca) from your original list.

Iris is beautiful 🤩

Robyn

not keen on the rest

did you consider Olivia instead of Olive?

i know babies born in the last year with 2 of those names!

I like them all except Olive. Iris is probably my favourite. Iris Rowan is a nice combination as well

Robyn I think is for boys and girls?

Definitely Iris, is such a pretty name x
If I had had another girl I liked Violet which I think is very similar really (pretty as a flower).
They are all nice names though x

I love Iris and Olive. I wanted DD to be Olive and my mum is an Iris. Both beautiful and timeless. Also as a teacher, I haven't taught many.

I’m jealous that you’re able to consider Robin (sorry I prefer that spelling), as I wanted it for DD but was vetoed and didn’t put my foot down.
Love Hazel too, but I just can’t imagine a bright, lively, attractive child called Olive. So drab.

Three lovely names, one I find really ugly; Olive.

No bad associations, none too popular.

Love 3 of them - not really keen on Robyn, it's s nice enough name, just not too my taste.

My order of preference:
Hazel
Iris
Olive
Robyn

1. Iris
2. Hazel
3. Robyn
4. Olive (don’t like this at all. Other three are okay)
