My partner just added three names to his girls' names list, but we're curious... which of these three do you like best and why? What would you pair them with?

June
Linnea
Iris

i think those names all work with each other:

linnea june
iris linnea
iris june

I like Iris the best.

June sounds old to me.
I like Linnea but not as much as Iris.

[plaidpineapple.livejournal.com]

Iris is my favorite.

Iris June, or Iris Jane.

[plaidpineapple.livejournal.com]

I like Linnea June!

I really love all of them, actually. I'd say Linnea is my favorite. It's unique and sounds so pretty. June is very cute. Iris is pretty but doesn't sound as pretty as the others.

I like June the most, but Iris is very pretty.

I'm having an issue with Linnea, only because it makes me think of the scientist Carl Linnaeus... then again, probably everyone isn't going to have the father of taxonomy on their mind when the see your cute little girl hah. Maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong too?

I think I like Linnea the best.
I used to like Iris, but...I don't anymore. For some reason. *shrugs* =/
I really don't like June.

I suck at the middle thing name, so I have no suggestions, sorry! =(

Loving the Linnea June combo. I really like Iris too, though. Three of my favorite names that I can't use for various reasons!

[waitingonsunday.livejournal.com]

They're all nice, but I like Iris the best. If I were making a combo with those three, I'd say Iris June.

June is my favorite. I know someone said it sounded old, but I'm really into old lady names. I don't mind Iris, but I don't particularly like Linnea because it seems made up to me and/or like a cleaning a product of some sort.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

Definitely Linnea. Partly by process of elimination; June is not terrible, but to me it seems very dated. Iris is somewhat better--it has that so-out-it's-in quality--but still not what I would choose. Linnea is a completely different style, unusual and offbeat (in a good way). I think it's beautiful.

Middle name suggestions:

Linnea Bryony
Linnea Florence
Linnea Verity
Linnea Charlotte
Linnea Zinnia
Linnea Patience
Linnea Cecily
Linnea Adelaide
Linnea Mercy
Linnea Serenity

I only like June.

[velkoria.livejournal.com]

I like Iris, June is okay and ugh really don't like Linnea.

[gipro2003.livejournal.com]

I LOVE Linnea. Iris isn't my style and June I just plain dislike.

Linnea Juliette comes to mind.

[german-e12.livejournal.com]

Linnea Zinnia? Maybe I'm pronouncing it wrong, but doesn't Linnea RHYME with Zinnia??? That sounds off to me, but I really like a lot of your other suggestions.

[kilobites.livejournal.com]

Not quite, but it's close.

Lin-AY-uh Zinn-ee-UH

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

lin-AY-uh ZEEN-ya? I wouldn't say it rhymed, but I guess it doesn't sound too good together. I was just thinking of Zinnia as being a little offbeat, like Linnea, so they might go well together, but I didn't give proper thought to the sound. Oops. I'm glad you like some of the others, at least.

[pegasus2o5.livejournal.com]

I think maybe I pronounce Zinnia a little different from most. I grew up in the South. :)

[how-obscure.livejournal.com]

I like June best.

June Miranda
June Sarah
June Linnea
June Elizabeth
June Eloise

Linnea June
Linnea Sophia
Linnea Jane

Iris Madaleine
Iris Martha
Iris Mirabella

I love June and Iris. I have no idea what I would pair Iris with, though, I just added it to my list and stopped making pairings; I used to have June as a middle name for Hazel.

[solitudete.livejournal.com]

I love those three together. They'd make a cute sibset. I prefer Linnea but I like Iris and June too. I think "Linnea June" would be a nice match.

[classiestkid.livejournal.com]

I second Linnea June, I love the name June

[starskye.livejournal.com]

I really like Iris

[ilovehounds.livejournal.com]

I strongly prefer Iris.

June sounds old and/or homely.
I think with Linnea people are going to misspell and mispronounce it all the time.
Iris is a strong name, but still feminine. And I love that it's a name from nature.
