We picked Iris for our daughter 2 years ago! We liked the mythological, nature and eye connections as well as the Goo goo Dolls song :) Had lots of good responses, but everyone always mentions it is...

My stepson's name is Orrin Chace... We have an Iris Ophelia and will have a Peregrine (Penn) or Aurelia in August if I can stop changing my mind... Other names we liked were Caspar, Arlo, Fern...

Thanks everyone for your responses! Yes there is something about Iris that makes it hard... Artemis has the same strength and mythological reference but it is a lot of name :)

With about 3 months to go, we have come down to these three as our choices for a girl...

Middle name is most likely to be Fern or Violet as two of the A names together seem a bit full on. Siblings...

Middle name is most likely to be Fern as two of the A names together seem a bit full on. Siblings are Orrin & Iris. Last name is Forman

I like the idea of Olly & Philly :)

I wish Minerva wasn't so 'nerve-y'! I love the refeence just not the sound moonkai, but that is exactly the kind of suggestion I am after :)

Arrietty Fleur is also lovely! Thanks!

Thanks isabellemarie! I particularly like your suggestion of Violetta Eve :) I hadn't put those two together myself but it is lovely!

Our baby is due in August and I am really having trouble finding girl's names I really *love*. I have asked about a few names on here and am just trying to get a 'final' list together. My daughter's...

Thanks so much for all the help, suggestions and feedback :)
I especially love the recent suggestions of Bee and Eve as middle names for Arrietty!

Just a little update...

Baby is due in August...

I really love Guinevere for our baby due in August! Just bumping this post up to see what you ended up with?

Cristinamarie - We must be on exactly the same wavelength! Everything you said is exactly where my head has been, and why I started to feel so strongly about it... After reading all of the posts I...

Unfortunately Hazel Clementine is one of my husband's cousin's names, and I love both but I hate doubling up :) May has also been recently used in the family...Iris is going to be the baby's big...

I grew up with the name Sorrel and while it has sometimes been a pain with explaining spelling, pronunciation and gender, ultimately I feel the benefits of having a more unusual name far outweigh the...

Thanks reubsmum77! I'm really interested to know how it would go here :) I think it would be pretty straight forward but you never know :)

Oh thanks missusaytch! I have always loved Ophelia, but felt it might be too much as a first once we were pregnant. We really love Iris with it, and it is going to be hard to beat if this one is a...

Would love to hear more suggestions for mns for Arrietty that are simple but preferably kind of whimsical/different/underused if anyone has any :)

Thanks for your feedback :) As renrose said, Arrietty is a character from children's books 'The Borrowers' and its sequels. We considered Arietta and Ariette scarletrune but we love the sound of the...

We have started afresh with our girl list for bub due in August. Unusually my husband and I have agreed on two new names, and also on combining them.. This means the full name would be:

Arrietty...

Lots of names you like are the same as the ones we are considering for a boy (we are in Australia and due in August)
The ones I am thinking of using are:
Ambrose - i love this, so underused (which...

Hi Everyone,

We are due in August and we have been whittling the names down and since my daughter was born almost 2 years ago.

We have Orrin Chace (my stepson, 8) and Iris Ophelia (2) and live...

What about Artemis

juliet.a - you said exactly what I feel!

We love the name Fern, but our last name is Forman... Is it too much f and too much n together?
