I definately prefer Iris to Zoe... And Iris & Ivy sound wonderful together! I don't have a problem with "matchy" names, either. My brother & I are Ethan and Emma, and I always liked the combo. G/L!
Ditto Fredalina. I'm just not into matchy names-it's not just that it's the letter though, that's one thing-but also the plant/floral part. Personally, I really like Zoe.
i like Iris, but i think Iris and Ivy together are too matchy-matchy and the same first letter (esp. being an unusual letter) are over-the-top. JMO. Plus, if you have a third, you'll be pressed for "Do i use another 'I' name? Do i use another floral name? How would i possibly do both again?"
Re: How about...
I love Iris but I agree with PP, too matchy with your DD Ivy.
Zoe and Ivy are cut together!
Agreed.
i like zoe better.
what about isla (eye-la)?
i love the name iris... it was the second choice for my ivy.
they are a bit matchy, but i think you'll be okay, as pp said, if you don't have a third. but zoe is really a great name, too.
FYI, there is a children's clothing line called iris and ivy.
good luck!

Have to say, am normally very anti-matchy names - but I love both Ivy & Iris, and I don't mind the double "I"/flora aspects.
IMO, both Ivy & Zoe and Ivy & Iris are lovely together.
this.
Also agree.
Completely agree but Zoe is NMS.
Agreed.
