Flower/plant middle name for ‘Bronwyn’

Can you lovely bunch help me find a flower or plant name as a middle name for ‘Bronwyn’ please?

We liked ‘Lily’ as a name but I’m not sure it sits well next to Bronwyn? Ivy would be perfect but that’s my first’s middle name 🤦‍♀️

I like the sound of Bronwen Rose but I know Rose is quite common as a middle name so you may want something a bit more unusual. My top ones (depending on flow with surname) would be:

Bronwen Rose
Bronwen Lily
Bronwen Violet
Bronwen Iris

Aster

Bronwen Zinnia

Bronwen Mali?

Similar ring as Ivy

strawberriesarenot · 23/02/2024 22:14

Violet/Viola depending on which scans best with your surname.

Bronwen is a lovely name

@DewinDwl , Dwynwyn wouldn't work either. Smile
Or Berwen.

I know a Bronwen Bracken. Thought it was a bit odd at first but love it now!

LilianaVikavanovich · 23/02/2024 21:51

Bronwen Delphine
Bronwen Eirlys ( if she’d be a winter baby )
Bronwen Daphne

CheshireCat1 · 23/02/2024 21:50

Bronwen Calla

@DewinDwl , I wouldn't have thought that Bronwyn has ever been a male name. Or Olwyn for that matter.

JennyfromtheBlok · 23/02/2024 21:44

I know not a flower, but
Bronwen Delilah

or if you want floral
Bronwen Dahlia

Re the spelling problem: as a different example Robin is usually for a boy and Robyn is usually for a girl but I much prefer the Robin spelling and know some girls called Robin. Is it not possible at all to use Bronwyn? What's going to happen?

Edited

It's not a different spelling, they are two different words
Bronwyn - male name, not really used
Bronwen - female name

It's a bit like John and Jane - the difference is only one sound but they are different names, Jane is not an alternative spelling of John.

Eirlys, roughly pronounce ire lis.. It's Welsh for snowdrop.

iamme21 · 23/02/2024 21:28

Eirlys, means snowdrop

Bronwen Olive
Bronwen Laurel
Bronwen Sage
Bronwen Summer
Bronwen Juniper
Bronwen Rosetta

Greentears · 23/02/2024 20:08

I really like Bronwen Sage, Bronwen Iris or Bronwen Aster

Bronwen is a beautiful name

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 23/02/2024 19:47

It’s not a flower name (it’s a virtue/word name) but have you considered Blythe? For some reason Bronwen Blythe sounds great to me - and the nn Bebe/Bibi on a little one is really cute.

I live in Wales and commented earlier in the thread that I’ll change the spelling to Bronwen so all good on that one. Everyday is a learning day and thanks to those who mentioned it, as I had no idea 😊

I don’t want my children to have the same middle names, I’d like them to have their own.

Some gorgeous suggestions in here thank you ❤️

OP- are you Welsh or live in Wales? I'm neither and have only seen it spelt Bronwyn before.

Doesn't mean Bronwyn is right though.

It's Bronwen, not Bronwyn 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Think Gwyn and Gwen.
