Need to get this sorted, its driving me mad!

[matimum]

I am due in 7 weeks so I know I have a little time but I need to be organised. We have a boys name sorted and if its a girl we have decided on Iris. We just need a middle name and we keep going round in circles with it, its driving me mad!
Because the S at the end of Iris links on to the beginning of other names it sometimes doesn't sound right.

Anyway please give me some suggestions. I just can't rest knowing that I don't have the name completely sorted.

Thanks in advance x

What sort of style do you like?

Fwiw we only decided ds's name a couple of days before he was born.

Names I have thought about are:

Iris Elodie
Iris Athena
Iris Eleanor
Iris Xanthe
Iris Orlaith/Orla

I would like something a little different as a MN. None of these are 'the one' iykwim

I see what you mean with the S of iris running into things...

I think names starting with D, sound like a clean break after an S. You obviously like Greek names so how about

Delphine
Daphne

or maybe

Penelope
Phoebe
Phyllida

Names starting with a B would work well too but I can't think of any greek ones...

Iris Eloise.

perfect.

Iris Elena

wren

Thanks for the suggestions, please keep them coming!

I have just come across Alana.

Thoughts on Iris Alana? x

Or even Iris Elana? Like the look and sound if this too!

If you choose a middle name that starts with a vowel, it's always going to sound a little bit like the two names run together. But TBH I don't think it really matters. Love love love Iris by the way.

My grandmother is Iris Marjorie - for some reason everyone calls her Madge!! Except for my grandad who called her Lubby!!!!!

I quite liked the idea of using Iris but my husband is Ian and thought it best to avoid using the same initials!

Iris Penelope
Iris Persephone
Iris Georgiana
Iris Henrietta
Iris Miranda
Iris Joy
Iris Demelza
Iris Cordelia
Iris Cecily

Iris is a really nice choice.

For a middle name how about...

Iris Francesca
Iris Delilah
Iris Annelie
Iris Victoria
Iris Juliet
Iris Madeleine
Iris Eva
Iris Adeline

Just saw your other ideas - Iris Alana and Iris Elana are pretty but I think Elena or Eleanor are nicer and less confusing for spelling etc.

Thank you so much for the suggestions. Have also thought of going shorted and for a one syllable middle name.

Thoughts of Iris Eve and Iris Maeve?

Iris Eve sounds lovely to me
