but I like Grace more than Iris.

Loving Theodore and Chloe!

First of all, I adore Rose! I think Grace is the better match because Rose and Iris is too themey and because Iris Curtis doesn't have an ideal flow. Do you like Grace Elizabeth? I ask that because Grace Iris sounds a bit like Gray Cyrus (or maybe it's just me).

Iris is kind of themey... but OH, I like it so, so, so much more than Grace.

However I don't think either one sounds good with the last name.

Grace. Iris is too matchy with Rose as a first name, and Iris Curtis really doesn't sound good.

Iris Elizabeth coz Iris isn't as common as Grace ;)

Iris Elizabeth, it flows better. Iris is a lovely name! (And so is your daughter's) :D

Iris Elizabeth Curtis

This is a hard one for me. I love Grace, and Iris is lovely as well. I may be biased, though, since my mom's name is Iris. If you don't mind that both of your daughters would have flower-themed names, then Iris is a great choice. Then again, though, the "is" ending in both the FN & the LN kind of runs together. What about Elisabeth Iris Curtis?

Grace Iris is nice as well. Really, I don't think you can go wrong either way as long as you don't mind the sound & the theme.

I really love the name Grace, but I don't think it flows well with Iris in the middle. The second one flows well and I like Iris. Maybe another combo with Grace if you really like the name. I don't think it matters how it 'goes with' Rose.

I would normally say Iris right away - I love it and it's not as overused as Grace. But with a dd with a flower name already plus a ln that ends in -is, I'd say Iris as a fn isn't a good idea. :-/

Iris Elizabeth...or Elisabeth Iris would be so pretty as well

I like both, but I think with the last name Curtis, Iris might not sound too good. I think I'd go with Grace Iris Curtis.

Just a dream, just an ordinary dream...
as I wake in bed...
and the boy, that boy, that ordinary boy
or was it all in my head?
Did he ask if I would come along?
It all seemed so real.
But as I looked to the door
I saw that boy looking there with a deal.

I love Grace and Iris, but I think either with the surname Curtis sounds too hissy from all the esses. Rose doesn't have that problem b/c it has more of a 'z' sound. Anyway, based on the overly essy sound, I'd say Grace Iris Curtis is out. Iris Elizabeth is a beautiful combo if you don't mind the sound of Iris Curtis.
