[Opinions] Re: Mira or Iris?
in reply to a message by earthnut
Repeating myself from the Mira or Nina thread:
Mira doesn't happen where I live, so I've got no associations with it. I'd expect it to be a nn for Mirabel, Miranda or even Miriam, and for all of these I prefer the full form.
In that thread I voted for Nina, and in this one I vote enthusiastically for Iris. One of the nicer flower names, restrained and elegant. I'd use it.
