Flower name!

99 replies

Peach2018 · 15/10/2018 19:46

Hi,
I'm looking for a flower name. My mum was called Fleur, I'm jasmine and my daughter is Primrose so would like to keep the flowers going! I like names that are a bit unusual, I'd love to hear some suggestions?!

I quite like Peony, but I don't know if that's too out there, and Pansy or Dahlia too.

Thank you in advance!

Blaithnaid, Not actually a flower but Irish for delicate flower

Cicely (sweet Cicely) It's a nice plant!

Apart from that I like Iris and Hebe.

Marguerite (french for daisy) - Daisy works as a shortening too.

Columbine? Perhaps look up flower fairies for inspiration?

For the love of god, do not name your child Columbine.

I like Aster for a flower name that is a bit less expected. Dahlia and Daphne, too.

I met a lovely little Fuchsia. Difficult to spell though!

Be careful of sounding like ‘keeping up appearances ‘ tho!

Aintnothingbutaheartache · 16/10/2018 00:08

Friends have a dd called Honesty. I think it’s lovely

Picknickers · 16/10/2018 00:00

Marigold is so gorgeous. Wish I'd thought of it!

3ChangingForNow · 15/10/2018 22:19

I think Primrose and Marigold is such a lovely combo.

Camillia.

I fancied peony for dd1 but DH said it sounded like penis... went for Iris instead.

MissSmith80 · 15/10/2018 21:30

My Nan and her sisters were Daisy, Rose, Violet, Lily and Iris. All fairly 'normal' names now but I think it's so lovely that they were all named after flowers. Your post has just made me reminisce although they all passed away many years ago 💐

susurration · 15/10/2018 21:23

Marigold

Cosmoa · 15/10/2018 21:21

I love the idea of 'picking a flower' name 😁

It's already been mentioned but Azelea was on our list. My OH was dying to use it! But we ended up with another name we both loved in the end. It'll stay on our list for the next one.
