I'm so close to choosing this name for our upcoming DD.
I love the meaning, I love the flower, I love the song! But I can't quite settle on it.
I've seen some comments where people say it's too popular but I've never met one. It seems to be around 60 in the charts which is fine to me.

Any thoughts? Anyone with an Iris? Does it get nicknames? The sound feels quite unusual to me, I think it's because it ends in an S and I'm used to names ending in a y or an a!

I think it’s absolutely beautiful and wanted it for DD (DH didn’t like it) but I do think it will be a name that’s steadily gained popularity in the 2020s, I know a lot of little Irises.

I don’t like it at all, I don’t like the sound of it. But I’m not a fan of vintage names.

It is popular. I work with kids and see a fair few, a friend has one. It’s not up there with the Olivias and Amelias and the Evies and Avas but it’s certainly not an unusual name. I mean, if you like it use it.

My daughter is Isis and about to leave to UC college. She has chosen preferred name Iris. I really really love it. Great name.

Beautiful name
Nothing twee or silly about it, and it’s a name she can be taken seriously with

Go for it!
