Iris or Etta?

Iris or Etta? Reasons why welcomed.

Thanks so much all x

Etta

Iris

I like Iris, but how would you pronounce it?

Eye-russ? Like the flower?

Or Irr-uss?

I had a good friend from Germany named Iris, she pronounced it Irr-uss.

Eye-riss.

I love Etta!

I much prefer Etta.

When I hear Iris, I can't help if thinking of that Iris Scott from Crossroads. That's one for the kids & totally irrelevant

I know a 10 yr old Iris and a 4 yr old Etta. Think I prefer Etta but it does sound odd as a full name on its own.

Iris. Just seems more like a complete name to me. It's unusual without being out there.

Etta is much more old-ladyish imo. If you want to use it as a shortened form of Juliet or Harriet that would work.

Iris is a lovely name.

Etta. Because I've never met one but know several Irises.
