HelpIris or Siri?
So, our baby is due to arrive any day now, and we're still a little up in the air about a name if it's a girl. We've gone through many rounds of looking at many names, and the two we have it narrowed down to are Iris and Siri. (Weird that they are palindromes of each other, huh?).
The main question we have: Our daughter's name is Ingrid. We have some qualms that Iris might sound too much like Ingrid or too "match-y". What do you think? Which do you think sounds better with big sister's name?

Iris all the way
my only reason being i know a Siri and she's encredibly annoying!! but also she always has trouble with people saying 'is that your real name?' or calling her the wrong thing - she's been called 'Sari', 'Syria' and all manner of ridiculous things which i dont think you'd get with Iris.
BTW i think Ingrid and Iris are absolutely gorgeous!

Well, Siri is short for Sigrid, no? So Ingrid and Sigrid would be very match-y as well. So it's a draw on that score.
I prefer Iris as a name, but Ingrid and Iris does seem too cutesy. Ingrid and Siri have a more natural feel to them -- they just sound like sisters already.
It's probably not fair to do this to you at such a late date, but instead of Iris, how about Alice / Alix? (Alix is the German form of Alice, no matter what the database here at BtN says.) Ingrid and Alix really sound nice together, to my ears.
In any event, you can't go wrong with either Iris or Siri. You have beautiful taste in names, as evidenced by Ingrid. My pseudonym on another site was "Ingrid Maia." :-) Hey! How about Ingrid and Maia . . . ? (I'm sorry, I'll go away and stop adding to the problem.)

Sorry, meant to be under main post.
I love both. How's that for unhelpful.
I think both names sound great with Ingrid. Maybe just wait until she's born and see which name fits her.
