Do you have/ know an Iris?

[AliasGrape]

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

Just that really!

[1940s]

The Iris I know mainly goes by 'I' (eye) by the family 'Aunty I'

[SE13Mummy]

I know a couple of secondary school aged girls named Iris. Nicknames include Irie, Ris, Rissy, Issy and I.

[SomeWateryTart]

I know one who is about 7. I think she is just Iris. It's a lovely name. Not sure how it could be shortened.... Iry? Ira? Riss? Ires? Not an obvious shortening there tbh.

[GirlCalledJames]

Irisette or Irisielle. There’s no logic to nicknames.

[DumpedByText]

Yes my Nan and she's 100! If I had a girl I'd definitely call her Iris, such a pretty name 😍

@EuphieKat

I know a 5 yr old girl who spells it Eirys!

This is the Welsh form of the name.

[Marahute]

I know two babies called Iris. No shortened version for either.

[jessstan2]

I know one, she is about 90. Lovely lady, pretty name too. I've not heard anyone call her by a shortened version or nickname.

'Iris' could be one of those names that comes back, it's so nice.

[lydia7986]

Yes, but she’s Austrian and pronounces it Ear-iss.

She doesn’t have any nicknames (that I’m aware of)

[Porridgeoat]

And 10.

[Porridgeoat]

I know 3 and all went by full name. Aged 90, 30, 5

[EuphieKat]

I know a 5 yr old girl who spells it Eirys!

[ohflourofscotland]

My grandma was Iris, really wanted to call any DD after her but DH hated it 🤷🏼‍♀️ . The only one I know has the nickname of Rissy

[123Dancewithme]

I know one who gets called Rissy

[SomethingPhishy]

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.

[MamaLoLo1]

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

[BettaSplenden]

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.

[Magicbabywaves]

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

[Carouselfish]

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

[MikeUniformMike]

I, Irie. Eyez

[CatsArePeopleToo]

My MIL. She gets called "I"

[KateF]

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.

[octoberfarm]

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.

[HD98]

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.

[daisypond]

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