Baby Names

Please help me pick a middle name!

Posting a little hesitantly because I know you all have very particular tastes.  I'm due with DD2 in August. 

We like old-fashioned, a bit uncommon names.  DD1 is Cecily Lucia. 

I'm 95% set on Iris for a first name for DD2.  Do you prefer Iris Aurora or Iris Fiona? 

I'm open to other suggestions, but strongly dislike trendy/modern names, filler names, and jewel/gemstone names.  I also like Claire/Clara, but it doesn't work with the meaning of our last name (one short, harsh syllable that ends in a "t" sound).

Re: Please help me pick a middle name!

  • Both meaning wise with Iris are a bit hippy, but I prefer Fiona.

    Also throwing out for suggestion

    Iris Helena  
    Iris Valerie 
    Iris Christine
    Iris Lydia 
    Iris Victoria 
    Iris Felicity 
    Iris Penelope

    I didn’t double check meanings, apologies if any of them are too hokey.
  • Love the name Iris but I don't think it flows well w either of those middle names. It's SUCH a feminine name, so what about something slightly less feminine as a mn? Aurora and Fiona are just as "flowery" as Iris, if you'll forgive the pun ;)

    Iris Michelle Gatt (I'm giving you a last name- you're welcome)
    Iris Hazel Gatt
    Iris Louisa Gatt

  • I prefer the sound of Aurora but Iris and Aurora are both nature related things so it does seem a bit hippie.  I think they are both nice and also like PPs suggestion of Iris Hazel.
  • I don't really love either with Iris, but I think Iris Fiona has a better flow than Iris Aurora.

    It might just seem awkward to me bc my brain keeps trying to correct Iris to Irish when I say it with another name, but on its own its fine!
  • I don't know that I'm sold on either with Iris, but I think Iris Aurora might be a little harder to say.

    Suggesting: 

    Iris Renee
    Iris Rebecca

  • Would you be opposed to using Fiona as a first name? I think Fiona Claire is really pretty. I also like Iris and Aurora but I feel like it is a mouth full together.
  • DH nixed Fiona as a first name and Claire is out because it has a weird meaning with our last name.
