I suppose the naming could be by mutual agreement or by the person who
raised the plant from seed. I believe the appropriate way to register such
an iris would be"<hybridizer's name> by <selector's name>" (presuming that
the person who raised it from seed was also the one who selected it for
registration).

Anyone is free to use names of literary origin that are in the public
domain (such as "Robin Hood"). Permission would be needed to use names
drawn from copyrighted material (such as "Darth Vader"). Maybe that's why
the iris was introduced as DARK VADER (R.&L. Miller, '85).
