"Iris", besides being my favourite flower, is also the Greek goddess of rainbows, and I've always loved rainbows, since they are a symbol of hope and full of pretty colours besides. As for "Alantiel", I patched that together while listening to my FotR movie soundtrack, based on words I picked up from the Elvish in the Enya songs. Roughly translated, it means "fallen star". Some people think that sounds depressing, but I think it's all in how you look at it - I prefer to think of it as reflecting a star that has come down from the heavens to contribute its light to the earthly realm, rather than a star that has descended from its starting place and come to lower things. In any case, "Iris Alantiel" is from my pen name, myself being an aspiring writer.
