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

Only nice name from this list is Anais. Rest is so bad.. what about Reese? I know it’s not “is” but sounds similar and is gorgeous

It's not gorgeous. It's a celebrity-related name.

Nerys

BTW, do anybody knows what is meaning of Nerys? I quite like that, and I like behindthename.com answer that it comes from Ner, meaning lord... does that mean Nerys means lady?

@MistyF , It's a vogue name from when -ys names were popular. Nêr does mean lord but more like 'The Lord my God' than Lord Sutch or whatever.

The name is a bit of a granny name, but wasn't ever wildly popular like Carys, so doesn't seem as dated.
