ar-co-EE-rees? A lot of Spanish words have the accent on the second to last syllable.
Arc or Arch could be a nickname (and also an allusion to the meaning because rainbows make an arc). Iris could be a nickname too, except that it looks like the flower.

I think there is one. But wouldn't it follow the rule, that if a word ends in n or s, the second to last syllable is stressed? Geez. I dunno.
