Larch ??

36 replies

Comerscroft · 10/07/2008 17:54

I have a cousin named Larch (her mother was a bit bats).

Larch has a daughter whom she named Willow, (which is more reasonable, I think).

Willow has just had a little girl and is determined to continue the tree theme with a selection of Ebony, Maple, Linden or Poplar.

My suggestions of Cherry, Hazel, Laurel and Apple were dismissed out of hand.

Any suggestions?

Definitely Rowan. Or Robinia - Robin for short?

LOL Savoy

Acacia.

MadamAnt · 10/07/2008 17:59

Alder, Camellia, Juniper, Cypress, Mimosa...

Actually, what's wrong with the names she's chosen? It's her baby, not yours

Rowan or Holly.

Failing that, tell her that those names are all a bit passe these days and that she should go for something a little less bourgeois such as Oak, Chestnut, Plane, Pine, Conifer or Dutch Elm.

Larch is divine
Poplar sounds sweet but would get Poppy
Maple is lovely

I think they are all lush but am a frustrated hippy

What a family tree

UnquietDad · 10/07/2008 17:56

I would say, but you'd only get Sycamore suggestions.

Blossom?
