There is nothing in the current registration rules that would forbid the 
use of a given name in a registered iris name as long as it isn't the 
hybridizer's own name.  Here are the applicable rules as quoted from the 
AIS website:

"3.  ... Rules are subject to change, but at the present time the 
following names will not be permitted:
a. Names of living persons without their written consent, or names of 
recently (10 years) deceased persons without permission of next of kin or 
other authority.
b. Personal names containing the following forms of address or their 
equivalent in another language: Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms. ...
i. Names containing the hybridizer's name in possessive form. ... "
