Heard this while out and about last week.
Any opinions? Is it popular?

It's my DD1 name - so obviously I love it. Gets mixed reactions from people - but that's ok - so long as we like it!

Arco de iris - is rainbow in Spanish. The only Iris I've known was German, funky and absolutely lovely.

when I heard it first I thought 'that's a bit old-fashioned', but now I think it's beautiful and the little Iris I know is an absolute sweetheart. Go for it!

Iris is lovely and minkersmum I lnow an Iris and her sister is Violet which goes really well I think and has a pretty flower/colour theme thing too. Or Viola maybe?

I love Iris, but when I mention the name to anyone else, they seem to turn their nose up!
