I don't think it's getting popular. Probably just here, because it's underused IRL and has that vintage quality.
I like it, its on my PNL.
I love Iris Mathilda!

Some combos I like:
Iris Elanor
Iris Pearl
Iris Maeve

I love Iris Mathilda!

Iris is beautiful and gaining in popularity. Don't worry, though. I don't think it will become uber-popular like Emily and Ava. It's just the right mixture of hip and not overly used.

Iris Vivienne is my favorite from your list. "Iris Matilda Henderson" is the leading lady in Alfred Hitchcock's "The Lady Vanishes." Love that movie and that combo.

You didn't ask, but here are a few of mine: Iris Persephone, Iris Penelope and (ETA) Iris Paloma.

I like Iris but I don't think it is popular in real life.

Iris Mathilda and Iris Amelia are both gorgeous! I am not keen on the others but they're still nice.

When I saw this post title, and your posting name, I saw Iris Evangeline Rose - how lovely is that!?

I like it pronounced both IE-ris and EE-ris bit EE-ris is sweeter and softer in my opinion. I like the name and I would be happy to meet a little girl named Iris even though I wouldn't use the name myself.
I've no idea if Iris is getting popular but I can see the appeal of it. It's short and feminine but in sound not overly girly and cute, unusual without being strange and also part of the trend of using old lady names.

My favorite of your combos is Iris Mathilda and Iris Vivienne.

I love Iris, and the flower too. Movies/TV aside, I don't think I've ever heard of/seen an actual Iris.

Iris Amelia - flow is alright; not a big fan of Amelia, though
Iris Mathilda - love this; it's on my list with the Matilda spelling; elegance & sweetness
Iris Olivia - nice
Iris Eliza - love both names, but they aren't working for me together
Iris Vivienne - very nice; sophisticated

I know a few young Irises. I think it's gaining quite a bit of steam. It has the flowery feel that Lily has but a much older vibe (one of the resurgence names) and I think people like that about it. I can't blame them, Iris is one of my favourites, too! From your combos, I really like Iris Mathilda, Iris Olivia, and Iris Vivienne (Vivian was my grandmother's name and her best friend was Iris).
I also really like Iris Antonia, Iris Cordelia, Iris Amparo, Iris Augusta.

I don't think Iris is that popular. Your combos are beautiful! My favorite one is either Iris Olivia or Iris Eliza. All your combos flow very well, although Iris Vivienne not as much. But they're great! :)
