Re: Irene
in reply to a message by guru
I love the name Irene. It means "peace". It rhymes with green and serene. For whatever reason, it makes me think of water, like a clear mountain stream.
It seems to have a sweet retro sound, plus a lot of history. It's multidimensional: elegant, simple, classic, unique, minimalist, modern. Also, it makes me think of the character Irene Adler from Sherlock Holmes; she was pretty cool.
...and, even though it's not technically related, I associate the Eireen spelling with the name Eir, which means "mercy" (Eir was a Norse goddess of healing).
