questionable iris names

Hi.

I am a little surprised to learn that there are others who have taken
umbrage at a few iris names.  One I would NEVER gorw in my garden, just
because of the name, is Satin Satan.  I also feel a little bit guilty
growing ones such as Witch's Wand, and Witch's Sabbath.  Maybe I need to
surround those ones with irises such as Holy Night and Praise The Lord!

And in regards to long iris names,  I promised a friend recovering from
cancer that I'd name an iris after her.  She has already "won" 3 times,
but the night before last, I found out she has cancer yet again.  I WILL
name an iris for her...regardless of how much space the name takes up.
Short names may be nice, but sometimes a longer name means something
more.
