Is Iris a good name for a baby girl?

Question

it is the name of a video game character from mega man battle network 6 for the game boy advance. It was released in 2006 and it is my favorite video game

Answer 1

Well, in my opinion, I really like it! It's so special and delicate.

Just too bad that it's a name of the video game

But it's your choice...

Answer 2

Naming a kid after a video game is lame. But, Iris is a flower.

Answer 3

I like the name Summer.

Answer 4

it sounds a little dated to me.  reminds me of an elderly woman.

Answer 5

Iris is a nice name, a lot better then zelda

Answer 6

I like Iris. Isis could also be an alternative. Do you really want to name your daughter after a video game?

Answer 7

I think it sounds more like a boys name to me. Why would you WANT to name a baby after a video game???

Answer 8

It's better than the others you suggested, but it's not great. Makes me think of the Goo Goo Dolls song, which was named after a hooker I still think you need to get a life.

Answer 9

I think iris is a very pretty name for a little girl! Use it

Answer 10

sounds like an old lady

Answer 11

I think it's beautiful but I don't like the fact it's part of your eye...kinda grosses me out as it's a bit too anatomical...

Answer 12

I think it's a beautiful name, but please don't tell her you named her after a video game. It's a little uncool, and dorkish. (Still doesn't go against the name though!)

Answer 13

i dont think so

Answer 14

Iris is actually very pretty. It reminds me of the Goo Goo Dolls song.

Answer 15

Whats up with you and video game character names????!!!!

Answer 16

iris is a good name for an adult but until the girl is 30 i don't think she would want that name. i wouldn't

Answer 17

Very pretty and original. She won't have the first letter of her last name attached to all of her school work like all of the Madison's and Emily's.

Answer 18

ummm i dont think so. that could be her middle name. i like the names addison (addie) , emily, shayna, and isabella (isabel, bella)

Answer 19

Its a little too old fashion for my taste! Its ok.

Answer 20

Iris is adorable...but naming your kid after a video game is pretty lame...

Answer 21

sorry but i dont really like that name. Maybe like a Jade is better.

Answer 22

Iris is a beautiful, classy name.  I love it!  I wouldn't go naming a kid after a video game character though.  Aside from that, Iris is great.  At least it's actually a real name. Iris has been around alot longer than the game too and also most people probably won't associate it with the game either.

Answer 23

its pretty.  

Answer 24

I love the name Iris, I am going to choose this name for my little girl. It's a flower and also means rainbow.  In the Greek myth, was believed the rainbow connected heaven to the earth and IRIS was a messenger who came from heaven to the earth through the rainbow. I love this name.  

Answer 25

My cousin is choosing to name all of her kids with the old fashioned names like Ruby, Tessa, Leanora and Millie.

I believe that Iris would fall into that catagory. But I wouldn't do it unless it was some type of reason like that.

Or maybe give her a nickname like "Iry" that would be cute and make her feel like she is special. Which she is.  

Answer 26

its obivous the video game world is your real world. forget it the first thing that comes to mind is an old lady. get some help for your video game addiction so you can be a good daddy to your very real child!
