Do you think the name Iris for a girl is pretty?

A girl in my class named her girl after a Greek goddess named Iris; but l would name her after the Goo Goo Dolls song. (I'm not pregnant, nor will I be for a looong time)

Do you think the name Iris for a girl is pretty?
I really like it!
Reply:I think it's a beautiful name.
Reply:I don't really like it. It's the colored part of your eyeball. And it sounds like an old lady's name. Sorry.
Reply:kinda, its unique





I like Athena too
Reply:Iris and Lily, too.
Reply:That's a very pretty name for a girl. I don't think it'd be suitable for a boy... lol!





Anyway, it's a nice name. I like it a lot! :)
Reply:yes its a very cute name... it means flower and is Hebrew.. very cute
Reply:yes l do l think thats cute to name a girl
Reply:I like it a lot. Very beautiful and quite uncommon.
Reply:No, I don't - sounds really old-fashioned. Can't you see a kid being teased for that name? When I was young I thought the name Priscilla beautiful, now it's awful sounding to me. WHAT was I thinking?
Reply:yes, i think so.
Reply:I think it's a lovely name. I'm a big fan of the Goo Goo Dolls, but it reminds me of the flower, too.
Reply:I love it I actually have a friend with this name! Evey is another I like too that is similar
Reply:In theory, I love the name: lovely name, lovely meaning, unique, several good namesakes ... but in actuality I can't get over the "Iris of the Eye" thing. It's probably only amplified by the fact that the word "eye" is in the pronunciation.
Reply:i like iris and rosemary too.
Reply:Not really I like Violet better
Reply:Yes, it sound girlish.
Reply:I know someone who just called their daughter Iris and went to high school with one. My middle name is also Iris. I barely think about my middle names, so it's weird to say that lol. My moms middle name is Iris too. I think it's a name that's being used more and more these days.
Reply:It is a lovely name
Reply:I really like it, if i am having a girl i was thinking of putting iris in as a middle name but all the names i have chosen doesnt go with it : (
Reply:I definitely like it, but maybe more so for a middle name.
Reply:I like it, the old flower names are making a come back. My wife was once embarrassed to tell anyone her middle name( Violet) but is making a comeback.and she quite likes it now. I prefer Iris, and Violet, to some of the stupid "made up " names I keep seeing on this site. Well done. It's lovely.
Reply:Yeah, thats my favorite song right now!
Reply:it's a lovely nice. My sister's was given this beautiful name and she is a sweet one
Reply:yes it's nice and it's not use often.
Reply:Iris is a very pretty name. What is "the Goo Goo Doll song"?
Reply:I like AEnuse better.
