[Opinions] Maude and Iris?
these are the names of Judd Apatow's daughters. They're odd, esp Maude but I like the truly vintage feel of the names (as opposed to Ava which was vintage a few years ago but is taking on a modern spin) Anyways WDYT?

NOOOO! No, please, please don't name it Maud! Maud, rhymes with bored, broad, maud is boring, old fasioned, and plainer than jane!Iris, is ok. If you called me maud, i would really resent you as an adult.

I like Maud; mean IrisMaud (this understated spelling). It might be a bit soon for it (but some consider this advantageous).Iris isn't as surprising, but I don't hate it. I always think of the mean Iris on Alice In Wonderland.

I really like Maude (I prefer it spelled Maud) - it's on my PNL. Iris is pretty, but a little too floral for me. I keep trying to get into floral names with my combos but a lot of them are either GPs or they don't stick. Iris does have that vintage feel that Ava used to have.

I like them on someone else's kids (they're cute kids too- they play the little kids in Knocked Up).Maude is a name I feel I should like but can't warm up to. It sounds kind of plain but not in a good way like Rose, Mae or Mary.I like Iris a lot.
