We have a 2 year old daughter named [name]Nina[/name] [name]Victoria[/name] and we are expecting another daughter in late [name]June[/name]. We are undecided between the names [name]Esme[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]. We are keeping the name secret from family and friends so we need help. I love the advice of strangers because it’s honest and unabashed…
[name]Esme[/name] is one of my favorite names, but I think [name]Iris[/name] sounds better with [name]Nina[/name].
[name]Hi[/name]!
I love [name]Iris[/name], especially with [name]Nina[/name] (lovely name, by the way!)! However, I would change the middle name because [name]Iris[/name] next to the hard C in [name]Caroline[/name] sounds a bit like “I risk”… That’s probably just me, though! 
So, if you’re settled with [name]Caroline[/name] as a middle name, I’d go with [name]Esme[/name]… Otherwise, here are some other middle name suggestions for [name]Iris[/name]:
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Diana[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Eleanor[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Evangeline[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Genevieve[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Guinevere[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Helena[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Juliet[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Louisa[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Lydia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Madeleine[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Natalia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Olivia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Penelope[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Vivienne[/name]
Good luck!
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] is gorgeous! [name]Esme[/name] is very Twilight…
another vote for [name]Iris[/name] (:
I vote [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] its very beautiful as is [name]Nina[/name] [name]Victoria[/name]!
Definitely [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]! [name]Nina[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] are a fabulous sibset!
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] is gorgeous! [name]Love[/name] it.
Another one for [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]!!
I’m sorry I’m going to buck the trend!
I much prefer [name]Esme[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] and think [name]Esme[/name] and [name]Nina[/name] both have a beautiful exotic feel. [name]Iris[/name] sounds too dated to me!
Isn’t it strange how differently we can all percieve the same names? Lol.
Good luck!
i love [name]Esme[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]!
I really love [name]Nina[/name]! Unfortunately, I’m not sure [name]Esme[/name] or [name]Iris[/name] pair with it quite right - I don’t think either live up to [name]Nina[/name]'s lively yet sophisticated feel. [name]Esme[/name] feels too sexy, almost and [name]Iris[/name] too buttoned up and boring - sort of like opposite ends of a spectrum that [name]Nina[/name] gracefully sits in the middle of.
I actually much prefer [name]Caroline[/name] in the first name spot as sister to [name]Nina[/name]. You could then use either [name]Iris[/name] or [name]Esme[/name] in the middle, but neither would be ideal. I would rather soften [name]Caroline[/name] a bit with a name that has more vowels and soft consonants - such as [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Amelia[/name], [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Aurora[/name], or [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Elise[/name]. To better match [name]Victoria[/name], you could even perhaps do something like [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Elizabeth[/name] or [name]Caroline[/name] [name]Isabella[/name].
[name]How[/name] about [name]Esme[/name] at the first name and then [name]Iris[/name] as the middle name? ([name]Esme[/name] [name]Iris[/name])
sounds nice together…
I vote [name]Esme[/name]! I feel that the friendly simplicity of [name]Nina[/name] is replicated on [name]Esme[/name], though [name]Esme[/name] feels a bit more elegant. [name]Iris[/name], however, is much more old-fashioned and buttoned-up. This isn’t a bad thing of course, but it doesn’t match carefree [name]Nina[/name] too well. I love [name]Esme[/name] [name]Caroline[/name]!
Good luck!
[name]Iris[/name] because its what you loved first. Its not associtated with that movie Twilight like [name]Esme[/name]. I think [name]Esme[/name] is trendy and does not age well also. [name]Iris[/name] is pretty and its what you first loved and agreed upon then your family who has no right to name your child butted in. I think keeping it a secret is a good idea;) Have fun and God bless you and your baby.
[name]Esme[/name] I love [name]Caroline[/name] I love but don’t love together : ( [name]Iris[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] sounds better together but I like the idea of [name]Esme[/name] [name]Iris[/name], that’s pretty…
I vote for [name]Esme[/name]. [name]Esme[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] in very pretty and timeless.
[name]Love[/name] [name]Love[/name] [name]Love[/name] [name]Esme[/name]… only thing to hate is the Twilight connection… :-/ if that’s not a problem, go for it! otherwise… [name]Iris[/name].
