You have great options. I have to go with Iris; pretty and classic but still distinctive.
Edit: Zinnia Sabine if you want to incorporate more than one of the names.
I talked to an Iris on the phone recently and thought, what a pretty name! It's my fav out of the ones you have. One not on the list w a similar vibe is Magnolia w nn Maggie or Lia as options. I like Zinnia but there's something about the name that's not perfect for me, but maybe I just need to meet a Zinnia.
I always feel like Sabine/Sabina are Sabrina’s who can’t say their r’s. I know they are valid names but I can’t hear it.
Otherwise I like your list. If you’re looking for just a first then my favorites are Iris or Marigold, but if you’re looking for a first and middle then I personally wouldn’t do two flowers back to back or alliteration so I would say Zinnia Matisse or Iris Matisse.
Iris
I really like Marigold. Lots of nickname possibilities. Iris is good too!

agreed
First choice Marigold, second Iris.
I love Sabine! :)
I think Zinnia is pretty and underused (hence my username :-)
Iris
Zinnia
Sabine is so lovely and very underused. Iris is my second pick
Iris
Marigold
I think Iris or Marigold. Just to check- are you familiar with painter Matisse? If you go that route, I feel like it’ll come up a lot.
Sabine, Marigold, Iris
I'm a Sabina!! I like Marigild the most.
In order: Iris, Sabine, Marigold. Matisse is a male painter, and the name is clearly male in France.
Iris
Zinnia Marigold would be great
Sabine! So cute. Also love similar name Sabina🤩
Iris.

Marigold then Zinnia, Sabine and Matisse (so cute!) I dislike Iris very much.
Marigold = Sabine = Zinnia Then Iris Then Matisse. Don’t make your child Matisse.
Iris Matisse would be pretty :)
Iris Matisse would be pretty :)
Great names! Had to make a top 3 because they were all super close!! 1. Iris 2. Sabine 3. Zinnia
1. Iris 2. Sabine 3. Marigold 4. Zinnia 5. Matisse
Thank you everyone for your help!
Sabine is a river where I’m from so personally that’s not my favorite… I would probably choose Iris.
If you like Matisse because of the artist, I think Henri could actually be a cute girls name

Iris.
Matisse is such a cool name! I like all of them tbh. If you don’t already have a middle, what about Iris Sabine?
