I love the meaning of Iris - she was the Goddess of Rainbows but Violets are my favorite flower. Use them both!

Oh most definitely Violet. It is a gorgeous name, a lovely flower, a lovely scent. Iris is just too eyebally and prim.

Violet. I wanted to use this for (as yet unborn) DC3, but DH doesn't like it. So please use it for me!

Iris, but I love them both. Iris Violet works very well IMO if you wanted to use Violet, and I like the Greek Rainbow Goddess association of Iris.
