Iris or Pearl

[nereidesinthemist]

I think that they are both lovely to go with sister Violet but Pearl is the one I love the most - and more daring. However, Iris is possibly easier to live with....what do you reckon?

Boy's name is decided already.

i love both!cant decide which i likeboth!

eurgh like best i mean-ds interupted!

I know a little Pearl - great name - with sisters called Dot and Nancy. Iris is nice too. I also like Daisy and Daphne and Dorothy. I have one of those myself.

Love Iris.
Don't like Pearl.

I also like Delphi, referring to the ancient Greek city - home to the Oracle, which I saw here on another thread but dh doesn't - still preferring Daphne. I do rather like Daphne, though, she was the Greek nymph of the laurel tree. Lovely! Still trying to get a 70's coiffed kaftan-wearing Margot type out of my head. Of course there's Daphne Guiness, and she's incredibly stylish. Dh says he once knew a French girl by this name, and she was gorgeous!!

I meant 'coiffured' and 'Guinness'

It sounds as if we have quite similar taste nereides, as Iris, Pearl and Delphi were all names I considered for my recently born DD. She ended up being called Cecily!
I think Daphne is a name that will grow on you though!

Cecily is a lovely name too, also considered that looby!!What did your partner think of the name Pearl? I think it's the kind of name girls appreciate but most blokes have a problem with.

He dosen't like Pearl I'm afraid (not into 'old lady chic'). We have v different taste in names. To be honest, I'm v surprised he agreed to Cecily!

The Pearl I know is mixed race and it suits her perfectly.

like Iris and Pearl. Prefer Iris and is my fave to go with dd Daisy. How popular do you think Iris is becoming? Everything I like shoots up the top 100 list! Pearl isnt white or mixed or black imo

just wondered if pearl necklace would be a problem?
