Help me choose! Iris or Hera?

Name Advice
1

Hello! Me and my husband are deciding the name of our little girl. We are in between [name_f]Hera[/name_f] and [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. We are both greek, therefore the pronunciation would be (EE-rah) and (I-rees) - so pretty similar!
We love the sound of both, but we are unsure which one of the two would be a better fit. Please let me know what do you think of each name, and what is the first image that comes to mind when you hear them!

Thank you thank you!!

I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f]! It’s actually my mom’s name :blush:

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] reminds me of the flower, of course! The name is very deep purple and floral.

[name_f]Hera[/name_f] reminds me of the goddess. It’s gold, red, and strong.

[name_u]Welcome[/name_u] to Nameberry you two !!

Personally I’m team [name_f]Hera[/name_f], I’ve loved this one for a long time and I’d love to see someone actually put it to use. I used to not like [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but I’ve really warmed up to it over that past few years, so really either is a great choice

Both are nice, but I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f]! It feels a little more like it’s own name, whereas [name_f]Hera[/name_f] feels strictly tied to the goddess :blush:

[name_f]Hera[/name_f]!

[name_f]Hera[/name_f] :sparkles::crescent_moon::cherry_blossom: much less popular and I’ve always loved it more :white_heart:

13

I’d usually vote for [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but I think you should go with [name_f]Hera[/name_f] because it’s uncommon yet beautiful.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] :purple_heart:

Really liking [name_f]Hera[/name_f] today - a lovely choice - kind of mystical and magic

I prefer [name_f]Hera[/name_f], it is more particular, it is still international and has a story behind, but if you want a simplier and more familiar choice use [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. I always loved [name_f]Hera[/name_f] - maybe even more than [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

17

I really love [name_f]Iris[/name_f], but [name_f]Hera[/name_f] is just so cool and underrated, so I’m voting for [name_f]Hera[/name_f]. I also like [name_f]Hera[/name_f] because it’s less popular, but I’m not sure if that matters to you. You can’t go wrong with either name though.

[name_u]Love[/name_u] both but [name_f]Hera[/name_f] seems more fresh

I adore [name_f]Iris[/name_f].
