Do you have/ know an Iris?

[AliasGrape]

Does she have any nicknames? Does anyone shorten it in an unusual way?

Just that really!

Just commenting to say lovely name but I've never met one so can't be much help

I do know an Iris but she doesn’t have a nickname (that I know of).

Yes- I have one. Her nickname is Doris the Destroyer

She is a horse though

Yes- I have one. Her nickname is Doris the Destroyer

😂😂

I only know an elderly Iris. Never heard it shortened.

I know a young one. She is often just called I by her family.

Our Iris has the nickname Pirate... It just evolved and has now totally stuck!

I know an Iris, a lovely lady in her 70’s, I’ve never heard her name shortened. It’s a lovely name

There are 3 at DS’s school , no shortenings that I know of.

My lovely Grandma was an Iris, the only person who ever shortened her name was Grandad and he just called her "I". Never heard it shortened any other way.

I know one who is nearly 20. Never shortened

The one I know is 3, no nickname. It's a lovely name.

Late primary, no shortening.

I know a four year old Iris, my sister's child. Only shortenings are affectionate ones that no one outside the family would use. I think it's a gorgeous name.

Thanks all.

We’re going with Iris I was just wondering if we’d get any surprises. (I have relatives that are utterly determined to use nicknames so no doubt they’ll find a way, but just didn’t want to miss anything obvious it turned out we really hated!)

Although I LOVE Iris Pirate @VerbenaGirl - wouldn’t be upset if that came up

I know a 16-year-old Iris. Sometimes called Irie.

I know 1 - she's 8. Never heard any nicknames for Iris. I imagine Irie would be most likely? Which isn't anything terrible.
Iris is a nice name.

I had a relative called Iris who was one of the loveliest people I've ever met. Lovely name, and she never shortened it to my knowledge.

I know a lovely 15 year old Iris. Not shortened but I know she has a family nickname. It's a really nice name, recognised but not used too much.

My MIL. She gets called "I"

I, Irie. Eyez

Daughter's middle name, cousin's daughter's first name.

My Iris gets called I pie. Then Ipes. But it really isn’t a name with an obvious pet form.

I knew a lady called iris. She was nicknamed I-ree (no idea on spelling - it was said a bit like alriiight) she was hilarious and only went by iris at church and when she was with her sister who was very prim and proper.

I know a French one (pronounced ear-iss).

I know one in her 40's. She's German & it's pronounced 'ii-ris'. Never heard her called anything other than that, no nickname.
