We may have decided on the name [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Martha[/name_f] for our one known gender twin (girl). We are really stuck to find any boy names that fit with [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and with our other daughters, [name_f]Aggie[/name_f] and [name_f]May[/name_f]. Middle name would definitely be [name_m]Thomas[/name_m].
We used to really like [name_m]Christopher[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u], but my husband thinks it feels too feminine now.
Another name we’ve been throwing around is [name_m]Philip[/name_m] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m] with the nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m], but it doesn’t really ‘go’ with [name_f]Iris[/name_f] to me. Plus, I like the name [name_m]Philip[/name_m], for if/when he grows out of [name_m]Pip[/name_m], but I hate [name_u]Phil[/name_u].
The only other name we like is [name_u]Reed[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], but it hasn’t blown us away. I think it matches best with [name_f]Iris[/name_f] of those three.
Any suggestions? We tend to like shorter names for boys, or names that have shortened nicknames. I’d like to avoid the top 100 or so (in [name_f]Canada[/name_f] http://www.todaysparent.com/top-100-baby-names-in-canada-2014/ ), but my husband isn’t as fussed.
A few other names that we like, but that have been passed over for various reasons: [name_u]Theo[/name_u]/[name_m]Theodore[/name_m], [name_m]Benedict[/name_m]/[name_m]Ben[/name_m], [name_m]Gabriel[/name_m]/[name_m]Gabe[/name_m], [name_m]Louis[/name_m], [name_m]Miles[/name_m].
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Lochlan[/name_m]/[name_m]Locke[/name_m] came to mind immediately. Other possibilities…
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Nash[/name_m]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_u]Tate[/name_u]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Callum[/name_m]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Breck[/name_m]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_m]Ivan[/name_m] - Look similar but sound completely different!
I like [name_u]Reed[/name_u] a lot. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] and [name_u]Reed[/name_u] are both plant names, and so have a similar feel. But are very different and don’t seem to matchy.
I really like [name_m]Philip[/name_m] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] actually!

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_u]Reed[/name_u] would be my choice from the choices above. I do really like [name_u]Kit[/name_u] as an NN for a boy though.
I also like [name_m]Benedict[/name_m] “[name_m]Ben[/name_m]”.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_m]Beau[/name_m] is the first combo I thought of.
[name_m]How[/name_m] about [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] [name_m]Thomas[/name_m], nn [name_m]Pip[/name_m]! I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_u]Perrin[/name_u] together! Or what about [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] nn [name_u]Kit[/name_u]? [name_f]Iris[/name_f] & [name_m]Atticus[/name_m] are sublime together! Good luck!
