Just curious, anyone like any names with a floral theme for girls. Just doing some research - hope I get to use it but can't count any chickens!

Apologies...I mean DD, new to the Mumsnet lingo and finishing off red wine from lunch.

My ds is called Elanor..its a flower mentioned in the "Lord of the Rings".

I love Fern, Willow...I think Chrysanthemum is quite pretty. :)

Olwen. It means white footprint. In welsh mythology, Olwen was the daughter of a giant but she was so gentle and fragile, white flowers would grow in her footprints.

Filament? Tuber? Shock

Im a coral,never met anyone else with the same name and its always been a good ice breaker when meeting people! Not a floral name but has served me well!

What about Posy? Or Chrysanta as an alternative to Chrysanthemum... I've decided I love this, but can't really see a child getting through our local high school with that as a name!

Our neighbour called his little girl blossom. Only one we have ever come across. She is really sweet and suits the name
