Which would you choose?

[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I’m currently pregnant with my first child and it’s a girl! We decided on the name [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but we’re having trouble with middle names. We know our baby’s middle name will be one of the following, we just don’t know which one:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]

Which would you choose?

I think I would pick [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is lovely.

I like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] :slight_smile:

I like the flow and soft sound of [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f].

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]!

They are all lovely choices. I like all of them and they all end with the same sound. Which sounds best with your last name? I do know someone with a little girl named [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].

I like both [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f].

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] or [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]. :slight_smile:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f], [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] are all lovely. I don’t really have a favorite, but i’ll eliminate [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] as it doesn’t sound quite as pretty to me as the others.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] is the one I’d choose!

I would choose [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]. Oh my, it’s so pretty and perfect!! Great choices.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f] is slightly too trendy and vintage-y for my taste.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f] sounds a wee bit on the eccentric side.
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] is just as romantic as [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f], but it seems rather serious.

I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f]!!
(I have in my own list [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Genevieve[/name_f].) But out if your combos, I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f].

Personally, I would avoid middle names that begin with a vowel because the “s” in [name_f]Iris[/name_f] blends in with them. Judging by your “a” and “o” choices, that obviously doesn’t bother you very much. :). I will rate them as follows:

1 [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
2 [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
3 [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
4 [name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

Heh, three of those names ([name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], [name_f]Octavia[/name_f], and [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]) were actually our finalists for our daughter [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]'s middle name, so I commend your great taste! We ended up going with [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f], but with [name_f]Iris[/name_f], I think I like [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f] best, although you really can’t go wrong with any of them.

I like [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. It’s a pretty name.

From like to dislike:
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Aurelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] [name_f]Octavia[/name_f]

I love [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] and [name_f]Amelia[/name_f]! More partial to [name_f]Ophelia[/name_f] however!
