I really like Iris, Cerys / Carys and Lois - what other similar sounding girls names do you think I might like?

Thanks for the suggestions everyone.

I definitely won't be using Isis or Crocus 😄

Eirlys Nerys, Elise and Ines are all lovely.

Not Isis. My DM was embarrassed she had named the cat Isis.
Imagine being stuck with it your whole life.

No it doesn't. In Ines the second syllable is accentuated, not the first like in penis.

No it doesn’t! It isn’t Ee-niss, it’s more like Inn-EZ.

Has anyone said Alexis yet?
