Middle Names for Iris?

Girl Names
1

Hey berries, [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is one of our top contenders for a baby girl and we would love to get some new suggestions of middle names. Two that we already are considering are [name_f]Khalila[/name_f] and [name_f]Marjani[/name_f].

Arabic names or names inspired by Babylonian, Turkish, Persian and Arabic role models are a MUST. I’m really loving [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f] right now (queen of [name_f]Palmyra[/name_f]), but SO’s not exactly on board. [name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Cleopatra[/name_f] and [name_f]Khadija[/name_f] and modern-day heroes are welcome as well, like [name_f]Malala[/name_f] or…

I love love love Arabic names, but I don’t have an iota of Arabic heritage :confused:

I also love [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and think it’s a great choice with your other kiddos.

Perhaps Aruru/Arura? I really like it with [name_f]Iris[/name_f], and your other names, and it has several associations. And although it has a lot of use in the Arabic world it ultimately comes from Greek, so idk if it’s what you’re looking for.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Roya
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Afraa[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aida[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Liyana
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Inaya[/name_f] (maybe not with the double I but it sounds lovely)
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Narin/Nareen (meaning is the pomegranate flower so perhaps too botanical?)
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Miraj
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Hanaa
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Shari[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Taaliah/[name_f]Talia[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Zuleika[/name_f] is stunning and a great idea, thank you [name_f]Jalila[/name_f]!

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Khalila[/name_f] is fantastic! I also love the idea of using [name_f]Malala[/name_f], simply because she’s such an extraordinary person.

Other ideas with Arabic names:
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Naima[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aziza[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amina[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] Aqila
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Qadira[/name_f]

If [name_f]Zenobia[/name_f]'s out, you could try another Z name like Zeinab, [name_f]Zaida[/name_f], or Zehra?

I also love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Maysa[/name_f] from jalila13’s suggestions
