Iris

Give me all the opinions:

Nice?
Popular? Etc...

I find MN really helps me to narrow down my list! Thanks guys

Beautiful name! If I remember correctly, Greek Goddess of rainbows (hence the connection above I imagine).

I know two, both pronounce it Ee ris. Like the beginning of Iridescent if that makes sense.

I'm not so keen on the Eye ris pronunciation. I find Ee ris more feminine and beautiful

It’s a beautiful name, I’ve always loved it.

Thanks for the comments, I only really like the ‘Eye-ris’ pronunciation :/ would this be what people consider default? Or is she going to spend her life correcting people?

Gorgeous x

Beautiful. Classic. Easy to spell. Go for it!

I have an Iris who is a baby. Never had any issues with it, a good few compliments and several people telling me that their granny/elderly neighbour/ old auntie is called Iris and that it's nice it's back in fashion again.

Going against the grain, I think of old ladies. Sorry

I love it. Sadly DH vetoed it for our DD

I really like it. I think it’s quite on trend at the moment UK wide but by the same token, I have only met one so I think the popularity varies.

I love it! Was on our list too. I don't think it's very popular around the N East.

I love it! Reminds me of the film The Holiday.

I've never met one in real life, it only seems popular on mumsnet!

Love the name, very classic.

Am now singing Iris by the GooGoo dolls badly to myself😊

I have a cousin whose name is pronounced the same but spelt ‘Eirys’.

Love it but was my Nan's name so biased

I'm a carer for a lady called Iris. Love it.

Love it. My nan was called Iris, though it was actually her middle name. Everyone called her it.

Beautiful.

Love it, my grandmother was an Iris and I think of it as a beautiful, classy yet feisty name. We would have used it if we'd had children.

I know one who is about 9 I think. Beautiful name.
