Been crushing on [name]Iris[/name] [name]Winter[/name] for a while but now finding it a bit trendy and gaining in popularity. And as my DD has a weather related middle name, I thought I’d try to find alternatives.
So I’m looking for suggestions.
I prefer quirky unusual middle names, but not modern names, prefer names with a bit of history. Also not too girly or complicated. My DD is Removed and I love the simple beauty of her name and the images it evokes. Would like the same for [name]Iris[/name].
My thoughts at the moment are [name]Iris[/name] [name]Maeve[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Boheme[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Azure[/name].
[name]Thora[/name], [name]Wren[/name], [name]Skye[/name] and [name]Blythe[/name] are nice, but [name]Jane[/name] and the virtue names are so not my style.
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Neve[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Nieva[/name], [name]Iris[/name] [name]Nieve[/name]. All forms of snow. [name]Iris[/name] [name]Neve[/name] prn’d [name]Nev[/name] would be French for [name]Snow[/name] and [name]Iris[/name] [name]Neve[/name] prn’d Neev would be like [name]Iris[/name] [name]Niamh[/name] (which I think does not have a weather meaning. [name]Nieva[/name] = knee-ay-va and [name]Nieve[/name] = knee-ay-vay if that’s unclear.
There is also the Welsh Eirlys, which means snowdrop. Spelling is hard. I’m not recommending [name]Iris[/name] and Eirlys together : D, but if you do like any other firsts, or would consider Eirlys for the first, it is pretty
Thanks, I love Eirlys and [name]Neve[/name]/[name]Niamh[/name]. We’re probably using Lumi as the second middle name which is Finnish for snow as we’re in Finland and I’d like my child to have a Finnish name. So wouldn’t use another snow name. If we go with [name]Winter[/name] I’d use another Finnish name rather than Lumi.
