Plant/flower names

[Madmum24]

Caveat: I have hopefully finished having children, so this is pure daydreamery for me.

In my riper age I have really started to like plant/flower names, possibly more for middle names as I don't think I am posh enough to pull some of them off (just my own opinion!)

But some of my favourites are:

Oleander
Hebe
Aster

Fleur
Primrose
Daisy

Has anyone got any flower/plant names?

[Madmum24]

I don't like obvious themed names in siblings either. Another reason for keeping them as middle names!

[Iliveinalighthousewiththeghost]

Heather
Oak
Willow
Fern
Lavender

[Ilovenannyplum]

My teen sister is Lily
and the dogs are Poppy and Daisy

[CoodleMoodle]

My DD is Rosie but only because I like the name. If I had another daughter I would avoid a flower name.

[MamaLazarou]

Very hard to avoid tweeness with flower names. I like Zinnia and Dahlia for girls, Oak for a boy.

Can't stand frilly, girly names like Poppy or Daisy.

[RedToothBrush]

Sorrell, Saffron, Juniper

[FATEdestiny]

Since I was very young, our pets have all had plant names. We have continued the tradition with our pets. Some names we have used have been:

Bracken
Bramble
Basil
Clover
Moss
Rose(y)
Blossom

[AbbeyRoadCrossing]

Eirlys (snowdrop) is one I love

[TempsPerdu]

I'm a big fan of nature names too, although some of the more popular ones are a bit twee for my taste.

Rowan
Zinnia
Clover
Sorrel
Daphne
Calla

Love Aster too, but can't get away from the fact that it sounds a bit like Asda! Quite like Oak and Cedar for boys.

[ThumbWitchesAbroad]

I've always had a soft spot for Poppy. And Willow.

But now I have a slightly insane desire (never to be fulfilled, no more DC here!) to call a DD Coriander.

[ThumbWitchesAbroad]

But if we're talking nature names, as opposed to straight plant names, then my favourites are still Zephyr and Mistral.

[RedToothBrush]

I've met a Coriander.

I can't say that it suited her.

[HackerFucker22]

Jasmine is a gorgeous name!

[anyagujraal]

Girls:

Bluebell
Blossom
Flora
Daisy

Boys:

Sage
Alder

[cosmicglittergirl]

I have an Iris, although I chose it because I liked its meaning and DD2 has Viola as one of her middle names, after her grandma, no theme intended. I like Hebe too, but no chance with DH. I did moot Peony for DD1, but got shot down. I have a niece with the middle name Sage and had a friend with Amaryllis as a middle name. I quite like Camillia for a middle name.

[CakeRattleandRoll]

My favourites are Elowen (Cornish for elm tree), Tansy and Roisin. Also quite like Juniper for something a bit more out there.

[Squooshed]

I like Zinnia/Zinnie best.

[NotAllThoseWhoWanderAreLost]

I find most of the popular flower names very twee and girly; or they're nice for your dog or if you're naming a herd of dairy cows - Bluebell, Blossom, Daisy, Primrose, Clover, Flora etc. just all sound like good milkers to me Heather, Rose, Iris and Jasmine are quite nice, Oak is awful!

[Madmum24]

I love Juniper!

Coriander isn't one I thought of (I prefer evergreen shrubs as names) but is strangely growing on me (no pun intended).

I also mostly like them for boys. Dahlia for a girl is lovely though.

[susurration]

I know siblings called Rowan and Hazel and another pair called Daisy and Poppy.

[WhyCantIuseTheNameIWant]

Acer for a boy
Celandine for a girl

I think boys are more tree-like, girls for flowers.

Glad somebody else likes eirlys.

[YourBubzYourRulzHun]

su I know 2 lots of siblings called Daisy and Poppy. Just need a Ben and a Holly for the full set.

[Babylove2015]

I was in Sainsbury's today and a staff member was called over the PA three times :Daisy Rose!

I just can't imagine a grown woman called " Daisy Rose" ????

I prefer Fleur, Rose, Lillie, violet.

[SmugairleRoin]

Blaithin (means flower)
Eithne (seed)

Both Irish and quite pretty, I think!
Eirlys, Lavender and Zinnia are lovely.
