I like both but prefer [name_f]Nina[/name_f]. It feels more energetic and spunky to my ears, whereas [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is more beautiful and subdued, a classic name. [name_f]Nina[/name_f] was on my list before, but my only problem is I had trouble finding the right middle name to make it stick.

I prefer [name_f]Iris[/name_f]! Gorgeous name!

5

[name_f]Nina[/name_f]. [name_f]Iris[/name_f] is beautiful, but would be middle name only for me.

6

[name_f]Iris[/name_f] definitely! It’s beautiful and uncommon, whereas [name_f]Nina[/name_f] sounds simple and very ordinary.

7

[name_u]Love[/name_u] [name_f]Iris[/name_f], never liked [name_f]Nina[/name_f].

Ditto. I can see the appeal for other people and it’s a perfectly fine name but I just hear sirens.
