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?

Camellia is very prett, Iris is the name I’m saving for my golden retriever puppy!

Magnolia is definitely the paint for me.

Amaryllis

I met a small Vinca and thought it was a perfect name. Unusual, easy to spell and a pretty flower.

Apparently her parents had another name planned, but when she was born someone remarked that her eyes were Vinca-blue. And her parents thought "Vinca!"

Marigold - I've known two and they've both been such lovely people it's stuck with me.

I like juniper. I also love flora if it wasn't for the margarine association. I have a sneaky fondness for daffodil, wouldn't be brave enough though

These are some of my favourites. Nature names that aren't too frilly and work well for children and adults.

I love Zinnia. I think it's strong yet pretty. I also like Camelia and Aster.
