I’ve always had a fondness for [name_f]Greta[/name_f], but I love [name_f]Iris[/name_f] more. It’s just such a pretty name.

I really like [name_f]Greta[/name_f], but I think [name_f]Iris[/name_f] probably flows a little bit better with your last name (if that’s a consideration). I didn’t vote.

Honestly I can see why this is a tough choice. Both names are lovely. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] definitely flows better with the last name, but I think in terms of first names itself, [name_f]Greta[/name_f] wins out for me. And I think a pretty significant amount of the time, she’d be known as [name_f]Greta[/name_f] and not [name_f]Greta[/name_f] Pender. Besides, it’s not like the flow is bad.

This is hard because I love both names so much. I like [name_f]Greta[/name_f] better with your last name. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] sounds like [name_u]Ira[/name_u] Spender. So the lovely [name_f]Greta[/name_f] gets my vote!

This was exactly my concern!!! I am surprised that most people are saying [name_f]Iris[/name_f] flows better with the last name because I heard “Spender” as well.

I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. [name_f]Greta[/name_f] is okay, but [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is beautiful, and goes well with your surname. It’s one of my absolute favourite flower names.

I voted for [name_f]Greta[/name_f], but something to keep it mind is that it will get misspelled/misheard a lot–[name_f]Gretta[/name_f], Renna, [name_f]Retta[/name_f], etc.
