Starting to think of names - We like Nancy, for a girl and Gabriel for a boy.
Would also like flower name for middle girl's name - my daughter already has Rose, so something other than that.
Would be interested in opinions.
Thanks

I really like Gabriel but am not keen on Nancy, there's something old fashioned & at the same time a bit twee about it (not sure how to explain it).

As for middle name:
Iris
Violet
Viola
Daisy
Margaret or Margarita
Lilly
Amaryllis (had a classmate with that name, not sure if its used in the UK though?)
Poppy
Angelica
Azalea
Blossom
Camille
Fleur
Jasmine

Cloris - Goddess of flowers - goes nicely with Nancy. Or Jolan - violet flower. Petula? Snowdrop? Zinnia? Violante?

Don't like Nancy very twee and also reminds me of the Nancy in Oliver who was murdered. I like Gabriel but knew ond that was teased about it all his life.

I'm sure |I'm going to get know as the MNetter who doesn't like the names Stanley or Gabriel. Sorry! Nancy Iris sounds great, very strong.
