which flower name is your favourite? If you had a couple of daughters would you continue the theme?

Ah yes fleur is pretty name

I used Fleur as my dd's middle name and would love to use Dahlia if we have another girl. I love Posy, Violette and Primrose too.

Flower names are pretty,safe and overdone
Don't dislike as such just they're bit blah
Would I do flower theme no. If I were pushed for flow name I'd say lily

Love love love flower names but can't cos surname is Plant. I once met a Poppy Plant though. My favourite is Daisy. Wouldn't have a theme though - especially flowers which makes me think of Hyacinth Bucket. I also really like Fleur.

I love Tansy as a girls name

I think most of the commonly used flower names are a bit overdone nwadays but, having said that, I totally love Zinnia and Daphne and would have gone for one of those if ds had been a dd.

Not too keen on themed names, I wanted my daughters to be indivuals rather than part of a set (I was always one of 'the girls' with my 2 dsis) It will still happen but hopefully be less iyswim.

Of the names you have I love Iris and Ivy. I feel Lily, Poppy, Daisy and Rosie as too cutsey lovely for little girls but not really a grown up name. Rose is also beautiful (dd3 middle name) Grin

Oh and yes, if we had another daughter we would have continued the flower theme

MrsMcEnroe · 05/04/2013 20:17

My daughter is Lily and her cousins are Poppy and Daisy. I also love Iris, Violet and Ivy. And Fleur / Flora.

We have a Rosie. Not planned to be a flower name, we didn't even think of that! And no dc2 won't have one if she is a girl. It he is a boy I can't think of any anyway!
