Flower names

Any flower name suggestions for girls excluding:
Rose - close relative called this
Lily - not for me
Bluebell - try hard

My fave flowers are daffodils and freesias. Nice names if you're a cow.

Any others?

Jacinta - Spanish for Hyacinth.

Should only be shouted, not said, in a strong North Dublin accent.

Hazel, a tree but still lovely. I am a huge fan of Abelia, type of Honeysuckle, which can also be a name but not to my taste.

StepOutOfSpring · 20/06/2012 18:41

Olivia... as in olive tree and olive blossom :)

Kveta · 20/06/2012 18:21

Erica

PurplePidjin · 20/06/2012 18:20

Latin name for Heather is Erica, btw :)

I never thought of Olivia as a flower name.

I love Clementine but veering more toward Clemency.
