Help[Opinions] Irene
Irene's post in the lounge got me thinking about Irene. I like this name a lot but I always forget to think about it.
1. Gosh it's pretty to look at!
2. I really like the pronunciations of all the different languages I can think of it in, including English: there is something so attractive about those two long vowels next to each other
3. My grandmother's name is Rena, and she learned a couple years ago that she was named after her grandmother Orena Roselle. Ever since she's learned I'm into names she's mentioned casually every few months how pretty her grandmother's name was. She also brings up Irene, because she has this suspicion that Rena comes from Irene, no matter how much I've told her it comes from Renata. Not that it really matters. This is her southern way of hinting that I should keep the pattern up, so I bet Irene would make her really happy.
4. What a great meaning!
I want to avoid it as a middle name, because iambs (i-RENE, kath-LEEN, ma-RIE) as middle names seem like cop-outs to me. But I'm interested in what the board thinks of Irene, and if you had to use Irene as a first name what middle names you'd pair with it?
