Holly Green yes or no?

[user1479835256]

Posting for my friend. Due their baby this Xmas.

Down to a few favourites. Middle name will be Rose as this Is my friend's mum's name. I think is traditional to call daughters flower names or related and friend would like to continue though my friend also really likes Xanthe. I feel too close to call it plus I'm trying to think of flower names for her that go with Green but I'm not being much use :(

Holly Green
Xanthe Green
Daisy Green
Fleur Green

I'd avoid anything floral with the name Green.
Maybe Theresa for a good laugh.

No. No nature/floral name with surname green.

[Mungobungo]

Hmmm... Xmas baby named holly is bad enough, but Holly Green is a step too far IMO.

As pp have said, Id be inclined to avoid floral names with a colour surname

[Tarttlet]

Xanthe Green is nice - the others are all awful and tbh a bit ridiculous!

[Bluntness100]

Holly green isn't a good idea, sorry,

[OlennasWimple]

No, the flower names (with the surname) are very twee

Xanthe is nice, though!

[SmallTownTwirl]

It is like a cluedo character. Holly Green killed in the library with the candlestick

[Pringlesandwine]

Completely biased here but one of the nicest people I ever met had that name...unique but not ridiculous. I like it 😊

[Pringlesandwine]

Could always change the spelling to Hollie. ..

Holly Green sounds like a made up name. Like a stripper's nom de plume.

Daisy is nice and you go get away with pairing it with Green.

Fleur is a name I personally don't care for. People often mangle it and in some accents it can be very tricky to pronounce.

[MovingOnUpMovingOnOut]

I love Holiday for a girl though!

[user1479835256]

Yes I actually went to school with a Theresa Green would you believe.

So far you've echoed my thoughts. I forgot to add Ella Green which is on their list...homage to another family member.

[user1479835256]

For some reason I'm finding it hard to suggest names to them that sound nice with Green as a surname.

[Twoevils]

Something floral that isn't usually green might work.

Iris Green
Clover Green

[BeingATinselTwatItsABingThing]

Rachel?

[Goingtobeawesome]

at Rachel

[stormsandwaves]

Clovers are green, aren't they?

[Cucumber5]

Fleur

[BackforGood]

Agree with so many others. If surname is Green, then avoid plant names and avoid 'Jade'.

[Twoevils]

Ianthe is a flower name apparently, and is very close to Xanthe
also
Bryony
Zahara
Jacinta
are all flower related apparently.

[SaltyBitch]

Olive Green

[Sophronia]

Xanthe Green is nice

[TaggySits]

Araminta?

[Myusernameisalreadyinuse]

I used to work with a Jade Green!

[Sweetwater]

My dd has a friend called Holly Wood.
