Do you know any IRL? Is it popular or becoming increasingly popular in your area? TIA

I only know one Iris and she's about fifty.

Statistically....

Iris represents 0.068 percent of total female births in 2014.

It's really not that popular. I know one IRL and it's the only one I have ever met.

I'm a teacher and I've known one who is about 18 now.

sherbear82 · January 2016

I'm a music teacher (I meet at least 80 kids a year) and I've never had a student named Iris. We would have considered it for our daughter if we didn't have an aunt named it.

ElRuby · January 2016

Loving the 90210 reference!

I know an Iris who is about 6 years old. I think it's a nice name for a baby born in the spring.

JadaBlue · January 2016

I know one toddler Iris.

FluffleSprout · January 2016

My daughter (3) is Iris. I live in an area where her name gets good feedback and seems in line with trends in baby names. That said, we've never met another outside an older woman I knew as a kid. My sister had an Iris in her baby music class a couple towns away and had to call to tell me all about it. It has crept up the ss list a few spaces in the past years but it's pretty uncommon in my area.

g8trkim · January 2016

I don't think it's know any, but I love the name.

holli0801 · January 2016

None IRL. It's our number 1 girl name though! Love it :-)

mmoodie · January 2016

I know 2 in real life, a 4 yr old and a baby.

groovylocks · January 2016

i know one. She is Chinese and Iris is her chosen English name. That's it.

I like it a lot.

GoBadgers · January 2016

My 7 yo is named Iris. Before that, I knew of someone that is now about 40 with the name. I became friends with my husband's old classmate's wife whose 1.5 year old is Iris, when they moved to our area and their Iris was a baby. I just looked up its popularity last night (to compare it to popularity of names I'm considering with this LO) and it's not super common but has climbed about 100 spots since my dd was born. We get a lot of wonderful comments on how beautiful her name is.

lalala2004 · January 2016

I've only know two. One is in her 50s or early 60s and the other was a student (Middle School).
