Does this hit you as a botanical name?

I love botanical names, but unfortunately DC2 will have the surname Gardner, which pretty much rules that out.

Could I get away with Betony as a name? It is a herb, but not too commonly known I think. Would you have seen its botanical connotation before I pointed it out here?

I’d just think you couldn’t spell or pronounce Bethany properly

Boy or girl? It just looks like Bethany if you didn’t know how to spell.

No, it’s very strange.

What about Rosie?

I'm sorry, but to me it would like Bethany not pronounced correctly...

I wouldn't. I'm not sure I like it though. I feel like you have the botanical thing covered with Gardner!
