Lovely. Very classy. Not popular in my area (E England) - have never met one.

LongLiveThePenis · 07/01/2020 19:31

Lovely. And the flowers are too.

BettyJean · 07/01/2020 19:33

Beautiful name. Also not overused.

ShoesandmoreShoes · 07/01/2020 19:36

I like it!

Cbeebiesrehab · 07/01/2020 19:38

Nice! I know three born in the last year (South West) but it will obviously change massively region by region.

I know one lovely little girl called Iris, it is a beautiful name.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 07/01/2020 19:54

❤️❤️❤️. I’m in Liverpool and have heard quite a few, though

WineIsAFoodGroup · 07/01/2020 20:03

I love it. Classic without being stuffy and easy to pronounce. Also, easy to learn to spell once you're daughter starts school too.

Cinammoncake · 07/01/2020 20:04

Love it

B0bbin · 07/01/2020 20:05

I know a toddler called Iris who is the sweetest little girl ever. Not heard it apart from her x

jigsawmaniac · 07/01/2020 20:10

Lovely.

Noshowlomo · 07/01/2020 20:11

Beautiful. Was on my list but I had a boy.

SAMlady · 07/01/2020 20:13

Adore it, number one on our list.

daisypond · 07/01/2020 20:43

I like it. Nice flower, tall and colourful.

WarmthAndDepth · 07/01/2020 20:44

Lovely.

2020BetterBeBetter · 07/01/2020 20:46

I think it’s a pretty name but in all honesty, all the ones I know are named because of the rainbow meaning behind the name after the parents have had either a miscarriage, stillbirth or neonatal death.

AcrobaticCardigan · 07/01/2020 20:46

Love! V beautiful.

MondeoFan · 07/01/2020 20:47

My daughters name. Suits her I think. Toddler.
I've worked with children in the past therefore didn't want a common or overused name. I still think we chose the right name.

PlantPotting · 07/01/2020 20:54

Love it!! Haven’t met any yet, go to lots of local baby groups round here

PlantPotting · 07/01/2020 20:55
  • I mean I haven’t met any even though I go to lots of baby groups
Thislittlepiggywentto · 07/01/2020 21:19

I love it. Didnt know about the connection to rainbows.

Horehound · 07/01/2020 21:20

I did like it. But the one I knew was a deceitful liar who hurt all my family so kinda gone off it...

BubblesBuddy · 07/01/2020 21:20

My mum, who is 95, had a cousin Iris. Nice to see it back!

getyourgrooveback · 07/01/2020 21:21

I only know one Iris, went to school with her but she pronounces it Ear-iss rather than Eye-riss so I get a complete mental block and have to double question myself when I see it written down.
Lovely name though Grin

KittyKatSmile · 07/01/2020 23:06

Love it. I haven't heard about the rainbow connection either (even after multiple MCs)
