ArchivesRe: Name: Siri
in reply to a message by AspiringAuthor15
"The name Siri may have started as a reverse of the name Iris."
No, it's a short form of Sigrid that has been in use for hundreds of years. The guy who developed the iPhone application named it after his daughter!
Siri continues to be popular in Sweden -- it ranked #54 in 2011 and #45 in 2012. So it seems like people aren't bothered by RobotSiri here! But, yeah, the name is probably ruined outside of Scandinavia/northern Europe.
