I quite like the names Iris and Nuala (pronounced noola, unless I’m mistaken)

Will have an older brother called Orrin. What do people think sounds better?

Yup, Nuala is such a granny name in Ireland. You might as well call her Doris.

Iris is much nicer.

Nuala is seen as very old fashioned in Ireland if that matters to you- it’s the equivalent of like Doreen or Mavis.

Nuala definitely, Nuala and Orrin are both of Irish origin whereas i do believe Iris is originally of Greek.
