Ivy, Iris or Fern?

[sheepbridge]

Which do you think is best? These are our top contenders at the moment.
Can you think of anything similar? I don't want a popular name or one that will date.

I have a 9 year old Iris so that is my favourite. Fern is lovely, but I do think of Fern Cotton, which is a shame. Ivy is OK - I know quite a lot of Ivy's though, it is my least favourite.
Love Hazel - we would consider this for another dd. Marnie is also very cute.

Iris is by far the nicest. Ivy is ok, but I don't like the poison ivy connoitations. I've never been keen on Fern.

Out of those I'd go for Fern. I'm not really into all the old lady names.

I love Ivy! Wanted it for DD but DH said it sounded too old-lady-ish. I am still sulking inwardly.

I would go with Iris myself next Ivy Fern is quite popular so if you want to avoid popular I wouldnt use it

if you like flower names and want to avoid popular on the top 100 list of 2009 was

Lily/Lilly Holly/Hollie Poppy and Rose

Iris
