Thoughts on Iris

[Maestro7]

As above! What does everyone think of Iris for a baby girl.

I love it. It's a mixture of elegant and sweet. I'm hearing a lot of them though.
If popularity bothers you.

I love it

Absolutely adore iris, if we have another girl I’d love to call her Iris

Its one of my DD's names. I love it.

It was my girl name but I had a boy. I’ve only ever met one and she’s in her 30’s so it’s certainly not common in my area. Lovely name, lovely flower, easy to pronounce and spell - what’s not to like!

Just added it to my list......

Gorgeous. I know a baby Iris - love it!

It’s my current favourite...

I don't like it. Plus it's becoming quite common.
It's the next Lily I fear.

Someone said Iris and a little girl thought they said virus... Kinda ruined it

I love it!! It has increased in popularity but if you look at the official statistics, it's numbers have plateaued since 2016 so that's great

I think it's lovely, though I know three under the age of five, so it's not as uncommon as it once was. Still a nice name, though.

It’s great. Refreshing to have the unusual ‘iss’ sound at the end, instead of the commonplace ‘ah’ or ‘ee’. Sounds very grown up to me. I imagine a strong and capable woman.

Great! Always good to get feedback! I’m in Ireland so it’s not popular here at all. I think only 22 called it in 2019 according to the statistics office

I love it but I have been put off now by virus post and I keep seeing all these jokes about naming babies Covid, karentine etc

I think it's gorgeous.

I like it a lot

Love it. Was on my list but vetoed by DH.

Beautiful

Beautiful.

A lovely name and a lovely flower.

Love 💕

I love the name Iris and it's a family name on my side - I have an Auntie Iris who was named after her Auntie.
If we have a 2nd DD, she would have it as her middle name

I really like it. Agree it is a nice change from the ‘uh’ and ‘ee’ endings.
