Iris

Comments (Pronunciation Only)

If it is pronounced ERIS, this is the name of the goddess of hell. I cannot stand this name, no matter how it is pronounced.
By the way it was my mother's name and stupid people always called her IRISH.

I absolutely love this name pronounced 'ee ris' rather than 'eye ris'.
