Sibling name to complement Rosie and Poppy

Dd3 due in April and we're struggling for a name. We have a Rosemary (Rosie) and a Poppy already so a botanic/nature name is tempting but perhaps too cliché. Would love to hear your suggestions ☺️

If she is born in April then the name April?

Or a precious stone theme, Ruby? Garnet?

A seasonal name like Summer or Autumn?

With Rosie and Poppy, I would consider:

Laura
Annabel
Juliet
Amelia

Matilda obviously

If you deliberately go for a matching name then it's going to sound too twee - I think you should choose the name you like the most and disregard how well it goes with the other names - I'd obviously make sure it doesn't clash or sound silly with them.

Veronica a is actually a plant and would be a nice non-obvious connection.

There is no red theme. Rosemary isn't red. Poppies aren't always red. If anything, there's a remembrance theme, which could be continued by choosing Myrtle or another plant name associated with remembrance. I'm not keen on Myrtle, personally. Lily would be the super obvious choice for this theme, which is probably a bit morbid for baby names!

I like flower/nature names. I knew a woman years ago whose three daughters were May, Rowan and Hazel, which I think is a pleasing combination of three lovely names.

Tansy
Iris
Heather
Ivy
Daisy
Marguerite (means Daisy)
Violet
Viola
Fern

Lily and jasmine are lovely flowers but the names are very overused.

I knew a woman called Dahlia once, rather a lovely name and a beautiful flower, but a lot of people would be unable to spell it from hearing it said, or pronounce it from seeing it written down, which would irritate me immensely.

Might have already been suggested and you've probably thought if it already but what about April. Due in a April and a nice name.

@borisisaprat

Why are people giving girls names when the new baby could be a boy?
Because they have basic reading comprehension?
