What are you crushing on (inspired by nameberry post)

Lately I have been loving Iris & Aspen. Unfortunately hubby has vetoed them both but I kind of like them;

Juno & Iris- Iris Margot

Juno & Aspen- Aspen Margot

 

I think I like the soft s sounds of these two with Juno. Also fond of Astrid but it has the hard d ending which doesn’t sound as pretty.

Suggest me some Sister names to my Junebug- she is Juno Francesca, middle name will be Margot.
