Just wondering how people feel about the name Iris. My other daughters name is Rose. I love the name Iris, but have been getting not so good responses from family and friends. I like Iris Grace and Iris Elizabeth. Any thoughts?

I love Iris but I guess you could have figured that by my posting name :P

Iris is a lovely name. I personally wouldn't use both Rose and Iris because I'm not into name themes for siblings. It seems overly cutesy.

I adore the name Iris, but I think having an Iris and a Rose would be a bit too cutesy. Sorry. :-/ (Unless maybe you use Iris as the mn?)

Ditto

I adore both Iris and Rose, but definitely not in the same sister set.

Iris is a beautiful name (more beautiful than Rose, if I may say so). I like Iris Elizabeth! ^__^

I love the name Iris! It's gorgeous imo...not too popular and very feminine. I may be biased, though, since it's my mom's name. I think Rose & Iris make a lovely sister set. As for the MNs, as much as I love Grace, I don't think Iris Grace flows very well. Iris Elizabeth is nice, but I much prefer the sp. Elisabeth. I personally love the combos Iris Victoria, Iris Alexandra, & Iris Maria.

I ADORE Iris, it's my 2nd fave girl name. Rose & Iris is a sweet sibset. I love themed sets.

Iris Elizabeth is nice

I think of the eye, personally...I dont like it at all

But I like your mn, but I dont think they sound good with Iris, I think its all the vowels, especially with Iris Elizabeth
