Baby Names

S/O flower names

The Lilac post got me thinking about my dad's favorite flower. My dad's name was Michael, my sister was named for him (Michelle) and I wouldn't use the same name for a daughter. Michaela is too trendy to me considering the dozens of creative spellings. His favorite flower was irises. It was a common motif he used in a lot of his stained glass windows.

I like the flow of Iris Bernadette. I have a flower name too.

If you heard Theodore, Francis, and Iris would think we were all over the place in terms of names?

  • I think they all sound like pretty classic names and think they work fine together. And I love Iris. It's on our top 3 list for girls right now.

  • I think Iris has a British vibe that goes well with Theodore and Francis.

    No, we're going to be Team Green again. But I did the Mat21 test so I could know if I wanted to. :)

    This is a little off topic but I get so excited to see the names of the babies from regs on this board!  I don't know her username but the most recent I can think of is the one with 3 girls with all M names!

    LOL me too :)

  • Nope! I never understood why it bothers people if the names are slightly different styles.  I mean if you name one kid something normal like Michael Joseph and the other something crazy like Pilot Inspektor, then I judge you for the mismatched names.  But if one name is classic and one is more trendy, who cares?

  • I love it.

    Iris has really grown on me, and I think it's fine with your boys' names.

    This is so going to be us. Not naming our kid Pilot Inspektor, but a far cry from Gabriel, most likely. You all better give it to me straight!

  • Not at all I think they go quite well. All are a little old fashioned but fun. I like Iris!
  • I know a Michelyn. I'm not positive how she spelled it but it is a legit name. It is pronounced Mike Lynn. I think its pretty and very unique.

    Nope.  I always feel flower names give me the classic name feel. I like it!

    This. I really like the sound of Iris Bernadette and it looks/sounds great with your boys names.
