I was called Iris Ann in the 50's after my mother who was Iris Mary, born in the 20s. She was called Iris as she was born at home in June, when Irises were growing in the garden and her grandmother suggested it would make a lovely name. I didn't know anyone else called Iris when I was growing up. The girls at school were Barbara, Christine, Linda and Lynn. I felt very miserable about having such a name for many years. Now in my 60s, I'm glad to have the name Iris. My mum always called me Iris Ann - I miss that. Hello to all you lovely ladies called Iris!
