Have one dd Katie Rose. Dd 2 due any time. Consensus on ' Carly Iris ' please? Have gone off previous choice of Susannah ( put off by all three sons' reactions tbh)( but think we all like Carly)

I like it, not popular or too common

I like Carly, its a name everybody knows but there wont be 7 in her class so she wont be Carly A or what ever.

Not keen on Iris.

MadBadandCoveredinSequins · 22/09/2009 22:26

Just to be contrary ... I like Iris but not Carly. But follow your instinct and don't listen to an old trout on the internet.

carly iris screams billy ray cyrus at me no idea why!

i love carly(my sister) and love iris,just not together.

pogleswife · 22/09/2009 22:28

Not too sure about Iris myself tbh. Love the flower though, and the meaning. Any suggestions gratefully accepted; think we will go with Carly though. Thanks

not too keen on Carly either - reminds me of the girl with the HUGE face on Home and Away a million years ago

love Iris though

FimboFortuna · 22/09/2009 23:01

Not keen on Carly.

Cara?

bumpybecky · 22/09/2009 23:06

I like Carly, but Katie and Carly are quite hard to say as a pair of names.

TotalChaos · 22/09/2009 23:23

lovely

pogleswife · 23/09/2009 07:34

Thanks for all the comments. I know what you mean about "katie and Carly". but there'll be an Andrew in between? Carly Dawn??

I think it needs a long middle name like Carly Josephine or Carly Elizabeth

Luxmum · 23/09/2009 08:36

I LOVE Clara. I think it's much classier and sweet than Carly, which is nice, btu also a bit um... oh, i cant define it, I just prefer Clara. Iris is ok, or there are lots of other floral names out there - Ivy, Heather, Briony, or Bethany.
I'm utterly stuck on my DD name, so good luck with yours.

Botbot · 23/09/2009 08:52

I think Carly is a bit 'of its time' - I know a few in their late 20s so it must have been popular in the early 80s. But it's actually quite pretty and probably ripe for revival. Love Iris.

pogleswife · 23/09/2009 19:39

Thanks all - especially pippel, because that's perfect: Carly Elizabeth it is! ( or will be ...)

ovely. All well. Went off Carly last minute
when heard it was name of tv programme( 'I Carly'? I think it was. ) So, she's Carolyn Elizabeth.

Carly Iris. Think it goes well with your other dd's name. A few years ago I would have said no to Carly as it was quite common but haven't heard of one for ages.
