Irina or Irène

I love the names [name_f]Irina[/name_f] and [name_f]Irene[/name_f], which I pronounce ee-RENN, in the [name_u]French[/name_u] manner, though I like the several other pronunciations of [name_f]Irene[/name_f] enough as well. [name_f]Irina[/name_f] has been in my top four alongside [name_f]Lilia[/name_f], though [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] has supplanted [name_f]Lilia[/name_f] in my top names, and now my top three names are [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f], and [name_f]Xenia[/name_f].

I feel like [name_f]Irene[/name_f] would work better in the sequence. [name_f]Irina[/name_f] [name_f]Frances[/name_f] and [name_f]Irina[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] were my preferred combos, but I think I may prefer Irène [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f] or Irène [name_f]Matilda[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] thought I’d update y’all.

I really like Irène!

I think [name_f]Anna[/name_f], [name_f]Leonor[/name_f] and Irène are a beautifully sophisticated trio! [name_f]Irina[/name_f] is gorgeous and would also work well, but there’s something so chic and no-frills about Irène, especially in this set

I prefer [name_f]Irina[/name_f].

I was all geared up to say I prefer [name_f]Irina[/name_f] until I read how you were pronouncing [name_f]Irene[/name_f]. ee-[name_m]Renn[/name_m] is so stunning!

How do you pronounce [name_f]Irina[/name_f]?

I prefer [name_f]Irina[/name_f] [name_f]Charlotte[/name_f] but it seems like you’re preferring Iréne so I’d say go with Iréne [name_f]Alexandra[/name_f]!
