Baby Names

Middle name for Iris?

DH really likes Iris and I'm not so sure.  We are struggling for a middle name.  Any ideas?

Not too common and kinda traditional.  DD1 is Lucy Clare.

    Can I get some "I don't care for Iris posts??"  DH's head is starting to get big with just the two "Love Iris." posts. 

    I keep associating it with eyes and flowers and I've never been big on the flower for names thing.  We are all over the place with names and I just want something to start calling this baby.

  • Sorry, I love Iris. I actually just threw it out to DH last night for our hypothetical next child. I was thinking about mn's for it earlier today and nothing sounds quite right to me. I visited your post hoping for some suggestions because I've got nothing.

    Would it help to associate it with rainbows, good news, and/or divinity?  Iris is originally the name of a golden-winged Greek goddess who carried messages from the gods(usually Hera, who rules/ed over marriage, family, etc) via rainbow.  If you're familiar with Disney's Fantasia, she's the one who brings the rainbow out after the storm.

    ETA: so after debating our own girl-names more again last night, my DH also suggested this name...I think we might be using it, too.

    Haha! Sorry! I love Iris. It's too bad my hubby wouldn't go for it. ;)

    Iris Mathilde is my suggestion.
