Help[Opinions] Re: Iris ...
in reply to a message by Lisa
I love Iris - it is (and might still be?) very high on our name list for the child we're hoping to have in the next year or two.
I might have to demote it, because we just welcoming a cousin Lily - which may make Iris a little matchy.
But I love it. It seems literary and intellectual, as well as pretty; a flower name that isn't over cute.
Love the mythology reference.
More people than you think may think of an eye -- we named our first child August, and *everyone* thinks its a month name, even though I just think of the Romans and Augustus.
But eyes are good body parts, so little is lost.
