Flower names for girls

286 replies

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

Poppy and Bluebells are wildflower names, so I would favour Daisy.

Flora, Blossom and Dahlia are all lovely, but Dahlia you have to worry about how people would pronounce and also if you think rose and rose west you might think of the Black Dahlia. Daisy is a lovely name, Zinnia, Iris, Jasmine. Aiyana is lovely too! The Meaning:Eternal flower; Forever blossoming. Aiyana as a girl's name is of Native American origin, thriving with lifelong meaning. A definition of "forever flowering," "blossoming," or "eternal flower"

I love most flowers as names but particular favourite is Violet. It was my mum's name but she hated it. Haven't met any others until recently. A friend just gave her daughter the name Violet Emilia. I think it's beautiful 🌸

Rosie instead of Rose
Clover

We have Iris as a middle name, after a family member.

I know a number of girls with Rose in their name snd wouldn't think of Rose West at all.

Iris is a beautiful name.
