[quote=Anonymous]You're fine. We had BIL and his wife pitch a fit over baby names after they went on and on and on about needing to be "unique". Then the name they choose was like, top 5 for that year and state. All that drama over a top-5 super common and relatively generic name that wasn't a family name either. They made the same big deal about making sure their upcoming child is also "unique". So they name him the #7 top name. They're super tedious to deal with and very weird about names. Think, shrieking matches with anyone with the same name because it means they aren't "special". They aren't, actually, and most people recognize names are used more than once. If it is something more unique, maybe consider a nickname around them. Iris is fine. Anderson is still common enough that I wouldn't blink and he'll probably go by Andy for short. Friend groups tend to shift so I wouldn't not use a name over it. [/quote]
