I love Irene! It's so pointy.

For sisters, Alma, Doris / Dora, and Sylvia immediately come to mind.

For brothers, Walter, Herman, and Conrad immediately come to mind.

Don't really like it

I prefer Irina, because it makes the pronunciation that I like the only possible one.

I think Irene is going to get popular again. People will get tired of Sophia and Isabella and want sensible names, and Irene has a lot of appeal. It's very practical but still has a bit of poetry to it.

Rhea
Doris
Phyllis

Myles

It’s pretty.

The meaning is good but the sound is just not. It sounds unattractive and it also doesn't look pretty and feels very dated.

Irene to me is in the same category as names like Derek, Walter, Ruth and Carol.

I like Irene. Also Irina.
