Iris or Erin

Hi I’ve posted before and I think we’re down to the final two.

I love them both DH prefers Erin and thinks Iris is too like the eye Iris ( I think flower). I like both but I’m a little worried about Erin being an Irish name and we have no connection to Ireland. A pp pointed out that it would be strange to use it without a Irish connection and now I’m torn.

Surname is long and hard to spell and pronounce. Middle name may be Elizabeth but don’t want it to determine the first name (if that makes sense)

Thanks

I'd vote Erin

Thanks for the comments, is only when a pp mentioned on a previous post that it would be odd to use without Irish routes did it start to bother me that people wouldn’t think it’s a form of cultural appropriation.
The results are really close, nearly 50/50 so no clear winner.
