If our third is a girl, her first name will be [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] and last name [name_m]Ellis[/name_m]. We are between these middles. I loooove elegant grandma, and for middles I lean to flowery / plant grandma [name_f][/name_f]. [name_f][/name_f]Our 2 other kids are [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] [name_f]Elowen[/name_f] and [name_m]Ransom[/name_m] [name_m]Oliver[/name_m]
I love your grandma descriptions! Great list here, the only con I can see is that [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] are so similar. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favourite is [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
First of all [name_f][/name_f]- I dearly love the name [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f]I am more of a classical name person myself, [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Eva[/name_f] and [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] are my favories, along with [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]variation [name_f]Rose[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f]- common, I know, but it is so lovely
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] & [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] are my faves!
It’s so unfortunate because I think if our last name wasn’t [name_m]Ellis[/name_m], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] would be a no brainer for me. Means rainbow in Ancient Greek from what I’ve seen online and this would be our rainbow baby too
I’d say use it if it is your favourite and most meaningful to you [name_f][/name_f] Flow is nice to consider if everything is equal between your options, but it’s quite low down the list in importance compared to other things. She might even change or double barrel her last name if she gets married.
I really like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] the most. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is really lovely too!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] seeing [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] upfront such a beautiful enchanting name.

Looking at your middle names here are my thoughts
[name_f][/name_f]
I love…
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Pearl[/name_f], [name_f]Meadow[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]June[/name_f] & [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f]. I think [name_f]Pearl[/name_f] is beautiful and effortless classic that definitely feels grandma chic with [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] similarly [name_f]June[/name_f] provides a pretty flair with that wholesome cottagecore feel. [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] feels in keeping with El0w3n and provides pretty springtime energy. I think [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] is beautiful such a sweet springtime choice and I think she would be the perfect go between regarding your other kiddos middle names as she’s nature like El0w3n but classic like 0liv3r. Finally [name_f]Sonnet[/name_f] feels unexpected and romantic with [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f]
Those five are definitely my favourites!
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]My[/name_f] least favourites are [name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_f]Lucy[/name_f]. I actually love the name [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but I do not think she works with your surname. Regarding [name_f]Lucy[/name_f] personally I’ve never been a fan of this name just reminds me of the word loose.
I’d encourage you to choose [name_f]Iris[/name_f] if it has your heart. I think the middle name is a great place to think about the name story you will share with your child one day. It doesn’t get frequent use so the flow or the way it sounds with the surname will be insignificant in the scheme of things. But the meaning will likely matter a great deal.
[name_f][/name_f]
If no other name is standing out from your list that you clearly prefer over [name_f]Iris[/name_f] you lose nothing by choosing [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and keeping a backup option. [name_m]Just[/name_m] a thought!
If you really love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] even if it’s not perfect with your last name you should go for it. [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is beautiful. Based on flow alone, I would vote [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f]. but choose what you love!!
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] is beautiful! [name_f][/name_f] She goes so great with [name_f]Cordelia[/name_f] and [name_m]Ransom[/name_m]. [name_f][/name_f] I adore[name_f][/name_f] [name_f]Eva[/name_f] but I think it might be too many “V” and “ee” sounds with [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f]? [name_f][/name_f] From your options, I think these are my favorites:
[name_f][/name_f]
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f][/name_f][name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Pia[/name_f] (so unexpected and cool!)
[name_f][/name_f]
I also like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] a lot, would you consider a second middle? [name_f][/name_f] I think something like [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f] [name_m]Ellis[/name_m] would work great and you still get the meaningful [name_f]Iris[/name_f]! [name_f][/name_f] I tried finding alternatives to [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but all I was coming up with didn’t really seem your style (Irida, [name_f]Rainbow[/name_f], [name_m]Enfys[/name_m] (which doesn’t flow any better than Iris), etc.).
[name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Blossom[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] are my favorites with the surname. Your list is gorgeous! [name_f]My[/name_f] top 5 is completed with [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]June[/name_f], [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] and [name_f]Guinevere[/name_f] [name_f]Pearl[/name_f].
[name_f][/name_f] Flow is nice to consider if everything is equal between your options, but it’s quite low down the list in importance compared to other things. She might even change or double barrel her last name if she gets married.
