Gutsy combos! ~~slaps forhead~~ Why didn't I think of Iris Frederica? Iris Dragoslava makes me think, "Iris the Dragon Slayer!" :-D How cool is that? Iris Richenza is ready to go out dancing while Iris Aloisia keeps everyone waiting while she finishes setting ringlets in her hair.But you are toying with us, with Iris Grace. I know you.

I'm still not sold on that one. Maybe it needs a third one. I was playing with phonetics while making these combos - notice the treatment of Ri in Iris Richenza, and of i and s in Iris Aloisia. And something about Iris Grace keeps me hangin' round. I think the two quick S-sound endings are surprising and tricky, and in these two names are maybe the two most different ways you can treat r[vowel][s sound]. Maybe. I dunno. Plus it's really dark purple, almost black, and light pretty pink to me, so it's sort of punk-rocky to me synesthetically. But yeah, I dunno.Iris Dragoslava is a tweaked version of what I consider one of my old masterpieces, Isis Dragoslava. >>;
