First impressions and floral/garden suggestions

First impressions for baby girl due summer please: Rae

DP likes this name as well but has said he'd prefer to continue the floral/nature name tradition in his family. We can't have Olivia, Jasmine, Ivy, Rose as all taken and Robin was a hard no from him.

My preference is for quite strong sounding female names so that rules out Lily - any ideas for names that I've missed?

I'm open to names from other cultures and languages as well, Hebrew, Sanskrit, Swahili etc so long as the meaning is appropriate and works with our long surname.

All ideas welcome!

I don't like Rae. I think it will date badly.

Love Tansy, Iris, Briar, Juniper, Fern, Hazel.

Go for nature!

Rae is a surname. I don't like it as a first or name
