Heard this while out and about last week.
Any opinions? Is it popular?

Beautiful, would have been DS's name if he had turned out to be a girl!

Really, really like it.

IT's a commonly used name in Germany (pronounced Ee-rys, with a hard a)...lots of "girls" my age had that name....it has never been one of my favourites...even though I have a few friends with teh name...

love Ivy....now that is a pretty name, I think

i thought of iris murdoch but its a LOVELY name

It seems to be one of those 'formerly the property of sweet old ladies but now back in vogue' names. After all, in the last few years Ruby has gone from being the name of everyone's favourite old auntie to top of the girls' name charts.

I think Iris is a very pretty name, like Violet or Primrose. Yes, it's true that the end of Iris Murdoch's life was sad but she was an inspiring woman in many ways. I would be more wary of the celebrity connotations.

Love it. Would have had it for DD if I could have convinced Dh that he loved it too!
Ended up calling her another name that I imagine is popular with Oxfam volunteers
