     Vai Iiris Kristiina. Iiris nyt kyllä munkin miälestäni on vähä liikaa ihimisen nimeksi, eikä se tualle flikalle passaa. Sille passaa paremmin sen toisen nimen häntä. Tiina se on, se on piänen ja sisukkahan ihimisen nimi.

     So Iiris Kristiina. Iiris I think has always been a bit too much as a given name and it doesn't fit a girl like that. Rather she'd be the end of her second name. Tiina. That's what she should be, the name for someone small and gutsy.
