Flower names that aren't too out there

Interested in creating a list of floral names that could be used as first name but may end up as middle.

For eg Blossom is beautiful but it's a bit too princessy. Also does Magnolia (for middle name if used not first) make you think of Dulex and what do you think of Zinnia?

I used to know a Hebe. I think that's pretty, along with many of the suggestions here. Did you settle on anything @FatYetSkinny?

Merryclaire · 16/04/2022 07:25

Daphne, Hebe and Iris are all strong flower names. At first I wasn’t sure about Zinnia, but the more I think about it, it’s actually quite pretty and quirky. You need to be happy with Zin or Zinnie though.

Azalea
Love this name!

To be told by DM I was named after the masters golf in US because she liked the flowers when there. Full of Azalias, she named me after the fecking state the golf is played in...

My name could have been so much better Angry

Padderbadger · 15/04/2022 02:17

Iris, Clementine, Clover. Zinnia is nice. I actually really like Blossom and don't think it's too princessy at all

Nigella flowers are lovely

Shasta

There's Nigella too, but I think Farage has ruined that one.

May is the old name for Hawthorne.
Jonquil is nice. I read a book about a girl called Jonquil, Quillie for short.
