What do you guys think of the name Irene? What would be some sibling name ideas for both genders to go with this name?

I love Irene! It's so pointy.For sisters, Alma, Doris / Dora, and Sylvia immediately come to mind.For brothers, Walter, Herman, and Conrad immediately come to mind.

I prefer Irina, because it makes the pronunciation that I like the only possible one.

I think Irene is going to get popular again. People will get tired of Sophia and Isabella and want sensible names, and Irene has a lot of appeal. It's very practical but still has a bit of poetry to it. Other no-frills mythological names go beautifully with Irene:Iris
Helen
Clio
Delia
Rhea
Doris
PhyllisHector
Myles
Simon
Alexander

The meaning is good but the sound is just not. It sounds unattractive and it also doesn't look pretty and feels very dated.Irene to me is in the same category as names like Derek, Walter, Ruth and Carol.
