B or F names

30 replies

whatausername · 09/04/2022 20:42

Ideas for names beginning with B or F please.

Well-established names (as opposed to modern Insta-style yooneeq ones), any culture, nothing botanical, slight preference for female ones but not a must.

It's for a plant (judge if you like). Grin

She's majestic and fierce, when I was given her she was dropping leaves like crazy. Only had a very few left now she looks like Sideshow Bob! (Possibly showing my age with the Simpsons reference 😂)

@Jellybean23

What kind of plant?
Some kind of ficus but made miniature like a bonsai. She's majestic and fierce, when I was given her she was dropping leaves like crazy. Only had a very few left now she looks like Sideshow Bob! (Possibly showing my age with the Simpsons reference 😂)

Boris.

My best friend and I used to have a handsome spider plant called Boris who lived in our grotty London flat with us in the early 2000s. (Before the name was ruined by BoJo)
