[Opinions] Re: Irit
I think it sounds gorgeous. I have a thing for girl "i" names, so if you don't mind I'm going to add it to my long list. I know someone who gave their dd the mn Navit (so pretty), so I had a heads up on how to pronounce Irit. You could plant the flowers in her honor and watch them grow together. :-)Irit Elisheva
Irit Mayim
Irit Hadassah (too botanical?)
Irit Sarai
Irit Devorah
Irit Corisande
Irit Celeste
Irit Simone
Irit Gervaise (zhehr-VEZ)
Irit Germaine (zhehr-MEN)

French mns seem to work well, at least to my ears.Perhaps you could help me out. My baby name book has the name Ivria listed as a Hebrew / Israeli name, meaning "from the other side of the Euphrates River" or "from Abraham's land." It's a pretty accurate book and I want to suggest the name to others, but I feel the need for confirmation. Some of these books are shamelessly wrong. Have you heard of Ivria before? Is it a real name?

Thanks!Thanks for the suggestions! I especially like Irit Elisheva, Irit Mayim, and Irit Devorah. :)Ivria is a real name, albeit an uncommon one. I've only ever heard it on older women, but it's very pretty: I'd love to see it on a little girl.-- Sarah
