Different flower names?!

Hi, I'm looking for a different flower name for a little girl. I already have a primrose so looking for something that goes well with her name. Thank you in advance!

Zinnia, Erica , Heather, Marguerite or Hazel. I like Rosemary as well but probably not with a sister called Primrose.
Marguerite

I love Posey....

BikeRunSki I took "a different" to mean "another". Colloquial misunderstanding.

Or you could go for the latin form Scabiosa, nn Scabby

TheYeaSayer · 15/08/2019 18:47

Scabious from your list is particularly lovely, Mike 😀

MikeUniformMike · 15/08/2019 18:18

Hyacinth
Primula
Gladiolus
Foxglove
Belladonna
Scabious

Acacia?

I like Rosemary, very unusual and can be shortened to Rose/Rosie which is lovely.

Thalia means blossom, which is also pretty.
lots of lovely names on this thread.

Somehow the woodland ones sound better with primrose, than the garden plants, I love primrose and Bracken, or Primrose and Willow.

Don't use Rue if you already have a Primrose, unless you want people to think you're a big Hunger Games fan Grin

Marcipex · 15/08/2019 12:17

Tansy
Rowan
Dahlia

I like Posy but not sure I’d use it.

Twelve8Ts · 15/08/2019 11:29

I know a lovely Peony who is a doctor, and a little Peony as well 😊

Skyejuly · 15/08/2019 11:27

Azalea
Holly
Posy
Betony
Zinnia
Blossom

Lilac

Skyejuly · 15/08/2019 09:28

Sweet pea
Bluebell

I don’t think Lily/Lilly has been mentioned much, because as you say, it is the obvious flower name, and the OP asked for different flower names.

Hopefullysmart · 15/08/2019 09:22

I know siblings Poppy and Lilly. Id have thought Lilly/Lily was a very obvious one but it hasn't been mentioned much on this thread.

WutheringFrights · 15/08/2019 09:21

If I had another DD she would be Gypsophila (pronounced gyp-so-fee-lee-ah rather than gyp-soff-i-lah) after my great aunt 😊

BikeRunSki · 15/08/2019 09:15

Lilac
Margurite
Erica (Latin for Heather)
Rosita (little rose)
Carnation (I love the painting “Carnation, Lily, Lily, Rose)

Grasspigeons · 15/08/2019 08:02

I looked up the campanion plants and it said candytuft pansy and viola, viola is the pretties

Skyejuly · 15/08/2019 06:56

Viola
Pansy
Iris

mathanxiety · 15/08/2019 06:48

A friend of DD2's named Peony rejoiced in the NN Peon in high school.

Suggestions:
Aven
Calla
Rue
Cicely
Keziah/ Cassia
Jessamine
Susannah (means 'lily')
Chrysantha
Jacinta (means Hyacinth)

challengeyourreality · 15/08/2019 06:41

Peony is very nice

QOD · 15/08/2019 06:23

I know it’s not quite a flower name but I like Posy

Violet is very popular now
I know a 5 yr old Primrose

FatTwat69 · 15/08/2019 06:09

Some of the combinations sound like dairy cows and others a little too ‘Keeping Up Appearances’ characters or Ben and Holly fairies.

Lucinda goes well, but it’s not floral.
