oh yes

I know someone with this name, definitely unusual but not difficult to spell or pronounce etc.

Do you like it? I never come on name threads but thought of my friend when I saw your post!

Magnolia (with nn Maggie or Nola) - I love this!
Juniper (one of my faves)
Marigold (another one!)
Iris (dd)

absolutely love Zinnia - not your usual flower name.

HerHonesty · 19/06/2009 09:08

yes i do, i already have a buttercup (middle name) so the more unusual the better!

had also thought of sweetpea (perhaps a bit twee!) and peony (my favourite flower!) but dont think they work.
