DH and I are having terrible trouble picking names for DC2. We don't know the sex (may start a separate thread for boys names!). DH likes nature (inc. flower) girls names, such as Daisy, Poppy, Meadow, Willow. I want something a little more serious, so have suggested Ivy as a not so flowery plant name, which he quite likes. But now I have reservations :(
I think my main issue is that I don't love it - I adore DS's name and I had hoped to love DC2's name too. Also my absolute favourite girls name has been rejected and I think I'm still trying to hold onto it :(
Middle name will be Winifred (my maternal grandmother) and surname is 3 syllables and begins with R.
So, what do you think? Am not bothered by popularity BTW. Any other more 'serious' planty/nature names out there that we might not have thought of?

Iris? I far prefer this to be honest. For some reason am just not that keen on Ivy, seems a bit Christmassy to me!

I like Ivy, but Ivy Winifred sounds a bit too old ladyish to me, sorry.

I love it but am biased as it was my mother's name .
