Iris is gorgeous! I also like Zinnia, but I've never been able to warm up to Hazel.

When I hear the name Hazel, I tend to think of the color and hazelnuts before I think of the tree. Iris and Zinnia strike me as botanical. If one happened to be a middle name and the other a first name, I think it would be better, but I don't think that it's that big of a deal. Zinnia isn't the most common flower name, so it's not like the sibset is something really obvious like Lily, Rose, and Daisy. I personally would be a little hesitant to use Iris and Zinnia together as first names to avoid making the sibset too theme-y though.

If someone were to use Iris, Zinnia, and Hazel, I'd notice that the parents used two names that I really liked, and that would please me. I guess I'd think that the parents just liked the names and probably the flowers as well. I might wonder if Iris and Hazel were named after family members, but older names are coming back, so I think my first guess would be that the parents just liked the names.
