Ada or Iris?

[shellis]

Which do you prefer...

Ida is lovely

Iris.
Don't really like how ada looks written down.

Iris

Iris.

Ada by quite a long way.

I love both! Would probably choose Iris.

Iris 💯
It’s beautiful but sparky. Ada I think is harsh. However they are both very popular, so Lois, Ines, Frances, Annis, Adela, Stella, Honor or Oona might be alternatives if that bothers you.

I liked Iris but asked about it in her ages ago and someone pointed out it rhymes with virus so Iris the virus. Given covid that put me right off.

Iris, slightly - though both were on my list! I think they are both quite trendy and gaining popularity.

Out of curiosity what did you go for in the end?

Oh no! Don't know whether to laugh or cry!

Iris definitely and the fact it nearly rhymes with virus would not put me off at all, loads of names rhyme with unpleasant or negative words it doesn't mean they will end up as a nickname.

Not a fan of Ada, quite a harsh sounding name and bound to be mispronounced. Prefer Ava or Ivy.

Iris’s are the most beautiful flowers. I do have a variety in my garden called “stinking Iris” though which might put me off, but i doubt many are familiar with it!
