Lavender?

What do we think of Lavender as a name for a little girl? I'm honestly not sure if I really like it or if it sounds too long and pretentious. Our other daughter is called Honor Florence, does it fit well? I'm not pregnant yet but we are trying to conceive and I'm already thinking of names.

There's a risk that it will be shortened to Lav (toilet). I also associate lavender with room freshener, so it has double toilet connotations in my mind.

I don’t like it but then I don’t like Honor or Florence either 🤷‍♀️ I’d say it did go with that name though.

I personally LOVE it! But I expect most people will point to the shortening Lav being a downside. I don't think it would have to be shortened though. I really like it.
