WDYT of Iris ?

[VeloWoman]

This is my new favourite girls name.

Does it seem old fashioned to you?

[TheCricketWidow]

I absolutely love iris, if i have another baby and its a girl thats what she'll be.

[Kantha]

I like it because it refers to a beautiful flower but avoids be twee/cutsie like lots of girls' names are.

[littlegem12]

I like it alot

[YomAsalYomBasal]

Love it. Mainly due to the Goo Goo Dolls!

[TallulahBetty]

Love.

[LadyCurd]

Nooooo don't do it!

But only because when I picked two classic old fashioned and rare names for my DD's both have ended up increasing in popularity.

Iris may or may not have been one of those names.
Go rarer. Iris is the new Claire
;)

[swoopyswoop]

Iris is v nice but fairly trendy if that bothers you

[elcranko]

Love Iris! Would have been my DD's name if DH would have agreed

[AuntieStella]

Not to my taste, and yes I still see it as old fashioned, despite knowing two aged 12ish and several pre-schoolers with the name.

[telsa]

Very old fashioned and simultaneously overused. Don't add to the heap!

[WinterOfOurDiscontent]

I'm personally not keen.

[weneedtotalkaboutkettles]

I normally love flower names but Iris doesn't do it for me - don't know why - however there's certainly nothing "wrong" with it!

[scarevola]

My first association would be the body part, not a flower.

[AndWhenYouGetThere]

Love it.

[BjorksNorks]

My Mum's name and my eldest DD's middle name so biased but I really like it.

[NotYoMomma]

trendy atm
will date
faddy

sorry I am not a fan

[UpTheFRIGGinDuff]

It's beautiful,alludes to the goddess of rainbows and the flower...BUT....also makes me think of eyeballs and is becoming very popular.

[reelingintheyears]

Eyeballs and old women with shampoo and sets, doesn't do it for me.

[AnythingNotEverything]

I love it, but I think it's the next Florence. Very of its time, and I think will become more and more popular.

Of course, tonne of that may bother you! I touted it for DD, but DH said it made him think of eyes.

[smithwillsam]

Iris as a first name gives you a very independent nature, yet you are friendly, approachable, and generous.

[CarryOnDancing]

I heard it a few years a go and thought "how lovely" when simultaneously my Dad said in my ear "who names their child after an eye?!" So now I just think of eyes and not flowers!

[ginzillas]

Love it. Know a gorgeous little one.
