I like Iris but DH hates it. Not sure if LO would cope in school with the name and am trying to be conscious not to pick a name 'just to be different'.
Also tend to be put off by other peoples reaction. What do you all think?

lovely name, would not be 'different' round where I live

Hope you persuade him

I love it, and if I ever have a girl I will call her Iris. Iris was the Greek goddess of the rainbow

I like it a lot.

Beautiful name, but compromise is important - does he hate it because he thinks it's ugly or because it's unusual/old fashioned - if it's the latter then you could change his mind. I wore my dh down - the final thing that did it was when I discovered his hero Joe Strummer had called his dd the same and now he loves our dd's name.

No, not really.

I like it

It is a nice name though, not especially 'different'

I think it doesn't matter what all of us think, if your dh hates it you can't choose it!
