Flower names

I have fallen into flower names for my girls and have a Rose, a Daisy and a Poppy, pregnant again and feel I have to continue the theme but have kind of run out. Any suggestions? Not a fan of Iris or Hycinth.

Rose, Daisy, Poppy, and

Cecily
Laurel
Hazel
Clover
Cassia
Zinnia

I agree Lily would be beautiful.

RosesAndHellebores · 23/03/2025 21:25

I like Hebe, Flora and Tansy best out of the options.

TheeNotoriousPIG · 23/03/2025 21:19

Lily would be the obvious choice, but there are plenty of other options! Assuming that Primrose is out, given that you've already got a Rose, you might also consider Holly, Violet, Ivy, Angelica, Amaryllis, Clematis, Aster, Tansy, Dahlia, Zinnia, Camellia, Primula, Alyssum, Indigo, Calla, Marigold, Petunia, Lilac, Veronica, Lavender, Posy, Pansy or Viola. In Wales, Ffion (fee-on; it means 'foxglove') seems quite popular. I'm not quite sure that Myrtle is ready for a comeback just yet!

If you're willing to stray into the general nature theme, I like Laurel! Sequoia, Hazel, Cassia, Carissa, Clementine, Fern, Juniper or Willow could be options.

If you have a boy, Linden and Heath are nice.

@Cloeycat just out of interest do your daughters share the same middle name? or do they have their own? just so i can help pick a 4th girls name for you lol

Jasmine balances beautifully with your other names. Also love Hebe but has a slightly stronger vibe than your existing choices.

RareMaker · 20/09/2024 21:13

Violet
Primrose
Holly
Fern
Ivy
Jasmine
Petal

MrFlippersPancake · 20/09/2024 20:59

My friend has just called her DD Zinnia after her favourite flower

Sheeparelooseagain · 16/09/2024 12:00

I would avoid another y or ie ending and I think Lily is very predictable. I think if you are not set on flower names then a classic short pretty girls name would fit such as Alice or names from the late Victorian era because Rose and Daisy were popular at that time.

RedOnyx · 16/09/2024 09:03

Posy
Tulip
Acacia
Flora

Estelle (means star)
Luna
Ivy
Clementine
Wren
Sage
Brooke
Marina (means from the sea)
Amber
Jade

Laurel

Nature names for boys:

Aster, Erica, Zinnia, Jasmine.

I would vary the ending and not have another ee sounding ending like Poppy and Daisy..

For a boy .. Rowan, Larkspur, Linden, Reed.

Loooooo · 15/09/2024 09:04

I think that you should avoid another Y/ie name like poppy and daisy so would opt for Jasmine

Jessbow · 15/09/2024 08:57

Melissa
Briony
Rose/Rosie

I think it would be tough being called Lily because ''i'm the 4th and mum couldnt think of anything more exciting'''. So many girls called lily!

Bluevelvetsofa · 14/09/2024 16:54

Tansy

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 14/09/2024 15:47

Jasmine or Lily are the obvious 2 options if you want another popular (Top100) name - it might be nice for all the girls to more easily get stuff with their names on. My preference would probably be for Jasmine of the two (so you don’t have another “ee” ending) but it is far less popular than pretty Lily.

Or you could consider Willow and just have the nature link? May is also a flower name and although not Top 100, it feels like it should be since every other girl has it for a middle name.I probably wouldn’t go to obscure a flower/tree with Rose, Daisy and Poppy since they are all well known/used.
