Metrodora?Wowee. Metrodora is awesome! At first glance I thought it was going to mean gift of the city. But mother's gift is too good to be true. I know it's intended to convey the best of "mother's gift," but I keep thinking of some annoying woman guilting her children to death. "I was in labor for 33 hours bringing you into the world. Some mother's gift I get. You never call, you never write. . . . " That, or some prissy woman with a spoiled brat; her "gift" to the rest of us. By the way, Iris Leocadia is top notch. :-D

Yeah, it is a bit overbearing of a meaning. It should be sweet but I get that same voice in my head too! Still, I love the name. I came a cross a lot of old Slavic men named Metro when I worked in the mason's archives, and was so thrilled by it. Metro is one of my top-notch guilty pleasures.Also Leocadia makes pretty much anything a star, she's so glam ain't she?

AW I forgot about Mary-Iris! Love that!All of these are fun and twinkly. Iris Metrodora is such a punk. Iris Leocadia is the prom queen, Iris Monday is like stargirl, and Iris Arethusa is - wow the new foreign exchange student whose accent no one can get enough of. Awesome.

I'm so glad some were good! I am quite fond of Iris Monday, it is so likeable-sounding.
