Irene, Ines, Iris.
What’s your opinion on the names Irene, Ines, and Iris? Somebody I know has daughters as those names. I always found it interesting as a sibset. I love the names Irene and Ines.
Anyways, do you like it as a sibset? Is there a certain name you like better? I would love to hear your opinions in the comments."People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing all day." Rate my personal name list please :) https://www.behindthename.com/pnl/217493

I like all three names separately, but they’re a bit too match-y when used together.

Wow, don't like them, too close as a subset too

I like Iris almost enough to consider it. Ines doesn't happen where I live, so no. Irene sounds good to me with three syllables, but since it always seems to have two, it could only be a mn for me.One out of three does not a sibset make. Iris, Ingrid and Isobel could work, or Iris, Imogen and Isobel. Or, to get three different I- sounds, Iris, Irmela and Isobel. More interesting that way.

If I had to choose just one, it would be Ines. Or even better, Inez. But all three are great. I'm not always a fan of matching initials. But this is a nice sibset.

Beautiful names. Individually. Irène and Inès are nice together. The third one puts it over the top.

Irene is honoring so I've planned to use it at least as a middle name. I also like Iris, but I'm not a huge Ines fan. They are all way to similar for a sibset in my opinion.

Irene feels really dated but the meaning is nice. The Ukrainian version is Yarina which is sweet.Ines is nice if the emphasis is on the second syllable otherwise I dislike it.Iris doesn't appeal to me, close to ISIS :(No, awful sibset, way too similar!

As a person with the name Isis, I never liked Iris for reason. It’s cool, but something about it turns me off.

I do believe that Isis is a very cool name, I just hate the ISIS association :(

As a sibset, those are way too... matchy. Irene and Iris practically sound alike, Ines and Iris differ by only one consonant, and visually Irene and Ines are extremely similar.I'm not a fan of Ines because I'm never quite sure how to say it (I'm pronouncing this as EYE-nes, is that correct? Or is it EE-nes?), but Irene and Iris are good names independently. Of the two, I prefer Iris.
