Help[Opinions] Re: Iris Carter, Iris Montgomery or Iris Parker?
in reply to a message by potatochips
They all work. It depends what you want it to do.
Iris Montgomery sounds very grand and proper, so if that suits the story, it's great.
Iris Parker sounds a little bit more quirky (because it kind of sounds like "Iris Sparker") so if you have a whimsical sort of story, that would work well.
Iris Carter sounds very normal. It's calm and unremarkable and respectable without being haughty. It would work for a wide variety of types - a lawyer, a student, a chef, a dancer, an artist, an adventurer, a scholar, whatever. It's a great "blank space" name for a reader to project themselves on. If you have a character you want the reader to do that with, then Iris Carter is a great choice.
