Hello ladies!

I am 5 months along with our first little bubba, and I am trying to find the perfect name. Boys I have a short list of 3 but girls I have a list of about 30 names, but one that keeps popping up is Iris. I have asked my closest girlfriends their opinion and they all hate it! Two of them think of an elderly lady and the other one thinks of an eye - a gooey squishy eye were her exact words!!

But it still keeps coming up. These are my reasons I like it:

Iris was a goddess in greek mythology who delivered messages between heaven and earth by travelling on rainbows.... how beautiful is that! I can decorate her room with rainbows!

Iris is also a beautiful flower... we can buy her irises...! Corny hey!

Irisianium is being goddess like and graceful towards others.

And the song Iris by the Goo Goo Dolls I have always loved and has the most beautiful lyrics like 'you're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be' and lots more.

Reasons I dont like it:

I am worried that other kids would call her Iris the Virus!

I dont like the way it looks when it is written - it has a harsh look about it.

The connotations some people associate with Iris like the old lady and eyeball! Personally I think the iris is the most beautiful part of anyone - no one has bad irises!

Anyway, let me know what you girls think!
