i grew up with a friend whose sister was called Sorrel and I always liked it. Does anyone know any other baby Sorrels ? Considering other flower names but not of the Daisy, Rose vibe.

Dock is similar to sorrel.

I like Sorrel but I always understood its meaning to be sadness. That puts me off a bit.

Laurel would be a similar and nice alternative.

Sorrel is flat, green and common. Not particularly nice.

I don't know any Sorrels but I think it's beautiful! Otherwise, maybe Rowan, Willow or Ivy has a similar vibe?

The only Sorrel’s I know are as a surname, but no reason not to use it as a first name. It would work for a boy or girl imo.

I think Sorrel is nice, reminds me of both Soren and Laurel - Laurel is a lovely name too.

Laurel?
Sorrel is perfectly ok, but I always associate it with a rather unfortunate and clunky surname, which slightly mars it for me!

I don't know any Sorrels, and would worry about nn Sorry cropping up. Saoirse might be a good alternative

Flower names - how about Zinnia, Lilac, Violet, or Azalea
