[Opinions] Re: Iris
in reply to a message by Fiammetta
I love Iris, it's probably my favourite flower name.
I particularly like that is means "rainbow" - I have considered using it as a middle name because our wedding had a rainbow theme and it would be a nice way to remember that without being tacky.

Yes - at least for me the name Iris could never be tacky, especially when considering the depths of its heritage. Greeks Deified the name, and when Shakespeare writes of her, he personifies the meanings in such perfect eloquence!
