[Opinions] Re: Iris ...
in reply to a message by Lisa
I love the name Iris. I've grown more and more in love with it through the years. It is definitely my favorite flower name. And as you can see it is currently one of my favorite girl's names.
I've known a pet rabbit with this name, a young neighbor girl who is now a high school Junior, and someone in high school two years older than me who was pretty cool. The neighbor girl was sweet and very shy with stunning blue eyes. I always liked her mothers. My little sister used to baby sit Iris. The other Iris I knew was outspoken and very creative. She was also a little bit of a nerd who played DnD. The name suited both of them well.
I've also been watching the Flash lately and a main character is named Iris.
I used to have some tribulation with Iris being a part of our bodies but I've decided that it isn't a bad association. Elegant flowers, stunning eyes, and a Rainbow Goddess are all great associations.
Iris is cute, elegant, spunky, and shy. Iris feels retro and classic, like Rose and Violet's less common sister.
Also Iris Arabella is a really cute common.
I wouldn't worry about my kids having the same initials if I only had two kids. Otherwise I'd personally prefer them to have different initials. I wouldn't worry about them but it would feel wrong to me unless it was a pattern. A child's name breaking the pattern would greatly bother me. So either all of them would have I. A. initials or no more than one of them would. But I am almost certainly OCD and I don't know if it's healthy or normal to be bothered so much by little things like that. Maybe it is just a pet peeve and nothing to do with my probable OCD. I sometimes have a hard time telling.
