About the Name Iris

The letter R is one of the symbols for overt cheeky sexuality. We see it’s racy influence in words like randy, ribald, raunchy, rapture, relish, ripe, ruddy and Romeo. And when it appears in names initialized by the idealistic letter I, it suggests an individual with intensely creative qualities and a passion for living. These are people with the potential for greatness -- whether it’s in their art, work, or relationships -- and are the kinds who throw themselves with unrestrained gusto into everything they do. Even when they don’t always emerge at the top of their chosen fields, IRs consider it a success just to have been in the game.

IRs are strongly connected to the life forces in the universe, and anything to do with animals, people and nature seems to hold a special fascination. And this connection isn’t simply an intellectual affair, for IRs have a wellspring of emotional reserve that serves to bind them to their loved ones. If it sometimes seems that IRs are looking at life through rose-colored glasses, it should be noted that their optimistic outlooks are very deliberately constructed. They see no reason to dwell on past mistakes, and have a capacity for forgiveness that almost seems reckless on occasion.

IR people are doers and it’s unlikely that you’ll ever see them at a loss for something to keep them occupied. They’ll be the first to suggest a new movie or a trip to Las Vegas, and tend form close alliances with like-minded people. But this doesn’t mean that life with your IR friend will always goes down smoothly; the flipside to the IR’s active mind is an unyielding quality that often manifests itself in a little bit of bossiness.

When it comes to their intimate relationships, IRs enjoy nothing better than exercising their mental reflexes in debates and intellectual small talk. But a consequence of having a formidable mind is that many people overlook your gentle side. You could know them for years and never fully experience the sensitive core underlying their keen intellect. In fact, many people comment on how surprised they were to discover that their IR friend felt a certain way about something.

As an expression of their self-doubt, IRs have a tendency to vacillate on even the smallest decisions when it comes to their relationships. Consequently, dating IRs can be like riding a roller coaster… one of those big wooden ones you think is about to fall apart. But if you enjoy wild romps with a partner who shares your passion for adventure, you’ll find them to be perfect gems.
