I like Imogen Adela and Imogen Hazel and greatly appreciate Iridessa Bluebell.

Iridessa's parents must be big flower fans, since they have a Tansy and a Zinnia (plus Iridessa's MN is Bluebell). Iridessa itself sounds pretty, though I wouldn't use it myself.I actually like Bluebell as a name. It's a GP of mine.

I don't like all the girl Indiana's, although at least it has -ana at the end so it could be kind of feminine or they could use that as a nickname. The female Indee/Indi have it worse. I just find Indy (any spelling) very masculine. Iridessa - Do you think the parents were inspired by iridescent? The parents naming style got more unusual with each child.

I never would have thought of iridescent, I'm guessing it was after the character. I'm with you on Indy and Indiana, they feel very masculine to me.

Am I a bad person for loving Clara, Tansy, Zinnia, Onyx & Iridessa as a sibset? It's cheesy and over-the-top but damn it's cute!(I went to school with a Tansy in Perth... she was second-youngest of 8 and the youngest was Merrilee. I think the rest had "normal" names though!)Isla Jane is precious, as is Isla Sophie.

Ivan -how would this be pronounced? Great to see a bit of variety in male I names (especially since I like all of these).

I'm guessing most likely IE-ven, since he's in an English-speaking country. I knew an Ivan once, and he pronounced it the English way. Although I could be wrong...

Ivan Edward Iridessa is a new one for me. I wouldn't use it for a child, but maybe a character. It's pretty, but a bit too fantasy-esque even for me given how close it is to the word "iridescent."
