Iris or Etta?

Iris or Etta? Reasons why welcomed.

Thanks so much all x

Not keen on Etta, unless as a nn for Henrietta. It just sounds harsh and unfinished. Iris is lovely.

I love Etta, I know quite a few 1-7 year olds called Iris but no Etta's.

My Granny was called Eleanor but got Etta for short her whole life, love it x

My DD is Etta - love it! We've not met another one yet

Adore Etta. Reminds me of Etta James xx

Iris

Love Etta!

Love Iris but met a Hettie the other day. .

Iris as it's a complete name etta is OK if short for a longer name.

In London @RedPandaMama?

Iris

That's the name we chose for our daughter due in December 😊

Iris is classy. It also travels well and is used in lots of European languages.

Etta I like short for something - Henrietta is a great name.

❤️ Etta.

I really love both. Sorry not helpful at all.

Etta Iris is good though.

I think both names are beautiful, but I've heard of 3 babies being named Iris in the last 12 months so I'd go for Etta instead.

I really like both as well!

I know a lot of little gils called Iris, it has become pretty popular over the last few years. I only know one Etta, it is a fantastic, strong and cool name.

Etta. I hear of quite a few baby Irises and while it's a nice enough name, I don't really get the hype. It's very old-lady (which I know is cool atm) and a bit staid. Etta on the other hand is bright and funky, and I've only ever met 1.

I like both. Prefer Etta, and think it stands alone as a name perfectly well.
