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?

No, we're going to be Team Green again. But I did the Mat21 test so I could know if I wanted to.
Ah I see...so exciting!
LOL me too
Me three, I get such a sense of satisfaction even though it has nothing to do with me.
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!

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