Sherry, I think those are nice names ... different ... I like different. I do know a couple that named their boy Liam, but I don't think it was spelled that way.

Someplace in one of these forums (I thought here, but couldn't find it), mention was made of names and hurricane names mostly being feminine. A person posted "whoever heard of a Himicane". I burst out laughing when I read it. Wished I could find it again. Anyway, thanks to that person, I think I might name my first Iris "Himicane". Then, I would want some flashy silly description like: "Thank goodness this isn't a hurricane, but introducing 'Himicane'. Now 'Himicane' doesn't have an eye, but he does have a lovely white beard (or someone may like and describe horns)." And then go on in similar manner to describe his color, standards, falls, height and bud count. And then, "Even though "Himicane" is no hurricane, he may just blow you away." So this would be backwards of naming an Iris. Once you get his description written/made, then you have to breed the Iris.
