I love it, is on my list x

My 11 year old is Iris - I love it. The only problem I have had is that I would love a ds called Morris but I can't as they rhyme!

Very cool name. I love the flower, it's the name of a great author and I know a very characterful and funny 4 year old Iris too. Yes, I approve greatly.

TartyMcFarty · 11/03/2012 21:08

DH doesn't dislike it either, which is a bonus!

It will be pronounced ee-ris (not eye-ris) in many languages eg German, French etc.

Love it. Beauitful.

neolara · 11/03/2012 22:02

Lovely

BroodyAndMoody · 11/03/2012 22:10

On my list too! Quite like Iris Aurora - means Rainbow Dawn apparently :D

TartyMcFarty · 11/03/2012 22:21

Ooh, excellent. At the moment I'm thinking Iris or Arthur, with big sister Betty :)

TartyMcFarty · 11/03/2012 22:47

So Broody, iris means rainbow?! I thought it was just a flower.

Love it, my favourite Auntie is called Iris, it would definitely be on my list

lucidlady · 11/03/2012 22:54

Love this name. It was on my shortlist but ended up not being able to use it Sad

crustyonion · 11/03/2012 22:58

Iris is a beautiful name. It was on my list too, but DS turned out to be a DS! Smile

FilterCoffee · 11/03/2012 23:00

Not keen, but if you love it use it!

telsa · 12/03/2012 09:13

I really don't like this name - ugly sounds in UK pronounciation - Eye-Riss. Think there are much nicer and more unusual names out there.

SoFarWeAreEqual · 12/03/2012 10:09

I think it is absolutely lovely - pretty and unusual.

shoobidoo · 12/03/2012 13:19

Prefer the German pronunciation of EE-riss. Agree that Eye-riss sounds less pretty.

LondonNadiy · 12/03/2012 16:53

I love Iris - its such a beautiful name, classic and a touch of old fashioned, but still can sit with a modern middle name. Arthur is cute too.

Rhubarbgarden · 12/03/2012 21:04

Beautiful but getting popular.
