Apologies for the brevity. Typing in between vomiting and watching Strictly.

One of Ivy's middle names is Rose, so I must discount all the (beautiful) rose associated suggestions sadly.

I used to like the name Zinnia on the Darling Buds of May, I think all the girls had plant names.

Love Hazel Smile

Rowan can def be a girl too, another favourite of mine!

I also love Calla

Hebe is just too similar to HeebeeGeebees Grin

Rowan is beautiful, but I think of it more as a boys' name.

I have a Hazel. It goes well in different languages and people always say what a lovely name it is. The two Hazels I know were lovely - one a florist, the other a Goth scientist, and the name suited them both perfectly.

ThoughtfulPenny · 24/10/2015 19:37

Camellia? I loved t when I was pregnant with my youngest but OH didn't like it.

Tirfarthoin · 24/10/2015 19:36

Hazel is lovely, so is Laurel

Tirfarthoin · 24/10/2015 19:35

Technically Dara is a boys name but it would be lovely on a girl. Means oak I think.

TattieHowkerz · 24/10/2015 19:34

Hazel is lovely, and non-faddy.

Yika · 24/10/2015 19:33

Dahlia
Erica

Yes Tirfarthoin, as much as I love Christmas I don't think I'd want it all year round...
