原文: Irene is the name of the titular princess from The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald. The animated movie based on the book uses the ie-REE-nee pronunciation.
原文: I have a neutral feeling towards this name. I neither hate nor love it. Just a name I tolerate and pass by without much thought. It does suit an older female more to be honest.The name is said as I-reen.

原文: Irene is a beautiful name. I can see why some people don't like it, but please don't insult the name. People who have this name will feel hurt. Thank you.
原文: My sister has this name and I think it is nice although I don't know if I would ever use it. My dad used to sing "Good night Irene" to her for fun. I love the meaning - "peace".

翻译文: 我的父亲奶奶称为艾琳。我们称她为眼睛。我的母亲是法国人,并发出ee-rehne。
原文: My Paternal Grandma is called Irene. We call her eye-reen. My mother is French and pronounces it ee-rehne.
原文: Irene is unusual in that it has various pronunciations. In the U.S. I've only heard it pronouncd Eye-Reen, as with the famous 1930's movie star Irene Dunne. The British seem to prefer Eye-Ree-Nee as with the actress Irene Worth (although she was apparently born American). In other parts of Europe, the pronunciation ranges from Eh-Reh-Nee to Ir-Reh-Nuh.
原文: This name is also used in The Netherlands - the most famous Dutch bearer of this name is Princess Irene (b. 1939), one of the sisters of Queen Beatrix of The Netherlands.
原文: Irene Bedard (born July 22, 1967) is an American actress of Native American heritage. She provided the voice for Pocahontas in the Disney film of the same name.
原文: I think that the name Irene has a peaceful meaning. This name is unpopular now, but it was popular in the last century. So I think that Irene will become popular again in the future. Anyway, Irene is a nice name. I will probably use it.
原文: I know an English-born lady in her 90s who's spent most of her life in Australia and she uses the 3-syllables.In one of the Leslie Dunkling name books there's a quote from a British lady called Irene - she explains that in the early 20th century an American musical was performed in London, and became a theatrical hit. It included a song about an Irene. But the American composer had set the word Irene to only two notes. The song caught on in England, and the 3-syllable pronunciation was doomed!
原文: It is somewhat true that this name sounds like an old lady's name and it dates back many years ago of when it came into usage as a name. The reason it is labeled as an "old lady's name" is because it became very popular and widespread since the time it was used as a name that a lot of women, young and old, are named Irene. I don't think you should rely on the facts that because it's so common it should be labeled as a "Granny" name, WRONG. Go accordingly with your taste in names, not with critics. Be rational, because critics can drive you crazy. If you see it the same way they do, then you can rely on your reasoning. I think this name doesn't sound bad at all and it has a great meaning. The spelling of Irene and Eirene partly resemble the country Ireland because of the Ire and Eire lettering, and that is what they actually mean. Why not say this name is a good choice for an Irish girl. Overall, this is a good name for anyone, but it's not my favorite. However, if this is your name, and if it were mine, I wouldn't change it and neither should you. Lastly, I never heard anyone make fun of this name. There is a reason to be proud of it. So, if you have a nice name, you should be proud of it, even if you don't like yourself.
原文: My name is Irene, pronounced eye-REEN, and I've always hated it. I have been told it's a beautiful name, but I've also been told it's an old lady name. I have never liked either the sound or meaning of the name, because I find a name that means "peace" very unfitting for someone who's so full of inner chaos like myself. Though there's thousands of names I like better, I would never change it.
原文: Was very popular in Constantinople, most famous is Empress Irene, regnant alone from 797 to 802, there are also several Bulgarian queens with name Irene.
原文: The name "Irene" was also given to a hurricane which damaged severely the Caribbean, the United States East Coast and Atlantic Canada in 2011.I don't like it that they give female names to hurricanes. My name is Irene and I'm teased a lot about it!:(

原文: I have actually began to like the English pronunciation, but I much prefer the German one.
原文: I'm named Irene, at first I really didn't like it, but I'm starting to warm up to it, I've only ever met 1 other person named Irene - so it's pretty unique, but unfortunately I've had stupid nicknames such as irenis or irenis the penis and other variants of them bestowed upon me by certain friends.

翻译文: 我讨厌这个名字,因为它的声音和名字的最后三个字母。
原文: I hate this name because of the sound of it and the last three letters of the name.
原文: I think this is a great name, but seems rather old-fashioned nowadays, which is a shame because I think it could be easily recycled and freshened up on a young girl. And Reenee is a really great-sounding nickname. :)
原文: I've only known one person my age (born in the early 1970s) named Irene. She was named after a grandmother but seemed so cool when we were in college that I had positive associations with it. Then there's Irene Adler, the only woman ever to best Sherlock Holmes, and the fact that it's a traditional Greek and Russian royal name. It's a prettier name when it's pronounced the European way as ee-RAY-nuh, the way it's pronounced in the Sherlock Holmes Grenada series with Jeremy Brett. Eye-REEN is the way it seems to be pronounced in most English-speaking countries, though.
原文: I have loved the name Irene since I first saw the film "Gattaca." Until then I thought Irene was an old-lady's name, but the name seemed really fresh and elegant on Uma Thurman's character in the movie.
原文: I think it is a beautiful, reserved name, and is well-suited to my favourite [and only] mam-gu. A peaceful, contented, happy sort of name, and one that is quite nice when shortened to 'Reney' [Pronounced REENEE].
原文: I don't know why people like this name so much. It's not a bad name and the meaning is nice enough, but it's very old fashioned. I mean, have you ever come across a pretty young girl with a name like Irene, Sheila or Margaret?
原文: This is my middle name and both of my grandmothers' names. I was literally destined to have this name. I guess it goes well with my first name (which is Deana), but I particularly don't care for it.
原文: Irene (pronounced Ie-REE-nee) Handl (1901-87) was a British actress of Austrian and French parentage. She was a wonderful comedic presence in lots of films from the 1950s and 1960s that still occasionally appear on British television.The pronunciation of Irene of her generation (reflected in the character Irene Heron in Galsworthy's "The Forsyte Saga" in the BBC television series of the late 1960s) is seldom if ever heard in Britain anymore.

原文: My name is Irene (pronounced in Spanish, Ee-REH-neh or something like this) and I think it's absolutely classy, beautiful and elegant. Unfortunately is very common nowadays in Spain, but yet, it's so beautiful. And I don't like the English pronunciation at all!

翻译文: 我个人认为这个名字没有错。这不是我在宇宙中最喜欢的,但它很漂亮。
原文: I personally see nothing wrong with this name. It's not my favorite in the universe, but it's pretty.
原文: This name is crap in English, but sounds nice in other languages. In English, it sounds like the name of a dim-witted country girl. I would suggest English-speakers to leave the name alone, but in other languages, it sounds quite pretty, and nicely mature as well.

Jacob gained international recognition and acclaim through her work with Polish film director Krzysztof Kieślowski.

原文: I like the English version of Irene but I prefer the French version. It has "Rene" in it which means "queen" in French (the way it's pronounced not the way it's spelt) and it sounds more mature than Irene.
