I prefer Luna.

MrsLettuce · 06/01/2019 20:35

Iris is much, much nicer than Luna. The sound of the latter is all flat and dull while Iris has good much more spark and definition

MrsLettuce · 06/01/2019 20:36

Autocorrect. Good =got Hmm

Iris

AuntieStella · 06/01/2019 20:47

I'm coming at this from the completely opposite pov, as neither name is one I like.

But of the two, I'd choose Iris, because not everyone will think 'eyeballs', whereas the silent 'tic' at the end of Luna is really very commonly noticed and much harder (IMO) to live with.

Iris is lovely.

Hate Iris it sounds really ugly

HopeAndJoy16 · 06/01/2019 21:36

Another vote for Iris here Smile

Littlechocola · 06/01/2019 21:37

Iris out of the two. Both are very popular but I think Iris is more elegant.

Iris. I just see Lunatic with Luna, sorry.

Shadow1234 · 06/01/2019 22:08

Not keen on either, but if I had to choose, I would go for luna

kirkandpetal · 06/01/2019 22:54

Iris is more classic and established. Luna of the moment and a bit hippy drippy imo.

Incidentally, when I typed Luna, autocorrect changed it to Lunatic. Maybe something to consider?!

kirkandpetal · 06/01/2019 22:54
  • Luna IS of the moment....
Mayhemmumma · 06/01/2019 22:55

Iris for me ....I silently think 'tick' when someone says Luna.

WrapAndRoll · 06/01/2019 23:00

Luna is my preference.

Joinourclub · 06/01/2019 23:03

Iris a million times over.

OrangeSamphire · 06/01/2019 23:04

Luna is number one globally in the list of most popular dog names. I’d go for Iris on that basis. Iris is an elegant, classic name too.

JC4PMPLZ · 06/01/2019 23:11

Luna is gorgeous, resonant, unusual, cute, mysterious.
Iris is old lady and commonplace.
