I love Iris, and would have used it if our second had been a girl. I love all three meanings - rainbow, flower, and body part. I think the association with the eye is wonderful. The eyes are the window to the soul and the colored part is called Iris because it comes in a beautiful array of colors and patterns. So that's only a plus for me.

I prefer the spunky sound of Iris over bland Lily or cutesy Poppy. I like Rose alright though.

Having the same initials is not a big deal. Iris Arabella is lovely. My favorite combo is Iris Josephine.
