I haven't asked yet, but I'm pretty sure (she) would not write ırıs 
because ı is a sound, /ɯ/, that is not present in English.  She might 
write any of İRİS (the correct Turkish spelling), or maybe IRİS or ıris 
as a result of converting Iris to lowercase or to uppercase according to 
the Turkish rules.

This would point to (b) too.  I'll post again when I next hear from her 
in the next few days.

(By the way, we are in good company -- see
