Middle names for Baby Iris or Miles... due very soon!

General Name Discussion

I think we’ve agreed upon [name]Iris[/name] for a girl and [name]Miles[/name] for a boy - my husband isn’t crazy about [name]Miles[/name], but he can’t make any better suggestions!

We are definitely in love with [name]Iris[/name], but I am so stuck on middle names! Our last name is 2 syllables, starts with a P and ends with an “n” sound. So we have had to eliminate all names that end with “n” sounds (mine does, and it sounds terrible!), also avoiding these initials: IPP, IOP, ICP, IIP, IMP, ITP… any others we should avoid? Also, we need something 1 or 3 syllables to break it up… phew!

For [name]Miles[/name] we are thinking of the middle name [name]Anderson[/name] to honor a close friend, but that isn’t set in stone… Initials would be MAP, which I figure isn’t a bad thing, maybe he will never get lost? Any other suggestions are welcome!

Big Brother’s name is [name]Emmett[/name] [name]Fox[/name].

Thanks!

[name]Love[/name] your son’s name! [name]Emmett[/name] & [name]Fox[/name] are both names I adore :slight_smile:

hmm, there’s some tough criteria here… here are some names that have popped into my head:

[name]Iris[/name] [name]Jane[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Rosanna[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Leigh[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] Annabeth
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Winona[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Lucia[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Bee[/name]
[name]Iris[/name] [name]Winifred[/name]

[name]Miles[/name] [name]Anderson[/name] is wonderful! I think it’s a great choice.

good luck!

I love the names [name]Iris[/name] and [name]Miles[/name], but it makes me laugh that it’s the names of the two main characters in one of my favourite films, The [name]Holiday[/name], [name]Iris[/name] is played by [name]Kate[/name] [name]Winslet[/name], and [name]Miles[/name] played by [name]Jack[/name] [name]Black[/name].
