Florence or Iris?

[boodleboot]

I am dithering between the two...these are the final contenders for the girls name. (boys name George.....sorted!)

Iris is so much better than Florence.

Boodle are you me? DC2 will either be George or Iris!

God love them both, like LOVE them. If push came to shove I would go with Iris. But both are lovely and I wanted both if I was having a girl.

Having a boy and George is on our after my grandfather.

Love Florence. Iris is nice too but just LOVE Florence.

Iris is my favourite (my 9 year old is called Iris), by a long way. I know loads of Florences the same age as dd2 who is 5, the last birthday party she went to had 5 out of 30 kids called Florence!

However, Iris Lily sounds awful, so with that combo I would go for Florence. Which is lovely, just not as lovely as Iris!

how about iris lillian? or iris yvonne? or perhaps i should go with iris elizabeth as that sounds divine!

what do u call ur iris for short if anything tummytickler?

Iris Yvonne is nice!
We call our Iris 'Ishy' which is not really very short! But mostly she gets called Iris!

Ilove iris elizabeth...but that has been my top name choice for 5yrs since i was preg with first dd.

Shame it took until my 3rd pregnancy to convince dh and then we had a boy.

If you have a girl i say iris elizabeth

Both lovely names!

Iris Lilian/ Liliana/ Lilith Yvonne would be better as two flowers together sounds a bit twee!

Florence Lily is lovely!

Both beautiful. Florence has more scope for nn's. Iris can't really be shortened to anything, but you could call a Florence "flo" or various other things.
