Flower names for girls

Hello! I’m new here. Currently expecting our 3rd & final baby. We have two beautiful girls already - Poppy and Bluebell, and have recently found out this baby is a girl too! So we are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell. I’ve always loved Rose, however it I struggle because of the association with Rose West the serial killer (silly I know because the name and the flower are beautiful but I always think of her) Lily is also gorgeous but I already know lots of Lily’s. Any suggestions?
Other option we thought of is going for a jewel name as I’m named after a jewel myself, but ideally would like a flower to go with the other two 😊💜 - Please note, my other 2 girls are already named so I really don’t need to know if you don’t like their names 😹 just looking for ideas on what to call DD3, thanks in advance 🌸🩷 x

I love Daisy. I had a boy this time, but Daisy was our girl name if it had been a girl.

MuckyPlucky · 21/07/2023 11:04

Marigold
Clematis (Clem for short)
Ivy
Gerbera
Calla
Heather
Blossom
Lilac

I wouldn’t personally go for Daisy, Iris or Violet as there are too many near me.

Iris is my favourite but if you love Rose use that. Unless your surname is West nobody will think of Rosemary West.

HolidayHappy123 · 21/07/2023 10:56

Fleur

PerspiringElizabeth · 21/07/2023 10:19

OH no hang on, it’s got to be Marigold surely. Little Goldie!

PerspiringElizabeth · 21/07/2023 10:17

Meadow? 😍 my DD’s middle name

Zinnia is pretty rad too

MrsSamR · 21/07/2023 10:15

Iris or Daisy for me

katecrackernuts · 21/07/2023 10:12

Rose is the nicest and goes really well with your other daughters' names.
And you like it! ( no-one will think of Rose W!!!)

Fleur
Marigold
I do love Tansy and Heather both already mentioned

Auntieofdragons · 21/07/2023 10:01

Also Rose is beautiful and I wouldn’t think of Rose West. I know a few little Roses and haven’t made the association once (until now).

I do know a toddler Myra though….

Notellinganyone · 21/07/2023 10:00

Iris, Viola, Violet, Buttercup!

Auntieofdragons · 21/07/2023 09:59

Violet, Heather or Daisy? Or on the nature theme there are lots of beautiful names.. Ivy, Hazel, Ferne, Holly
