Flower names for boys

We are trying for number 2, we already have a daughter Poppy. We are looking for a boys name that is on the same theme.

We were trying to think of any flower, plant or herb but are stuck. Any ideas would be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks

But you could always widen the definition a bit and go for 'Other-natural-entity' names!

Poppy & Olive-r?
Poppy & Robin?
Poppy & Garth (garden)?
Poppy & Adam (earth)?

Because, BabyBaby123, names of siblings have to go together. Otherwise you end up with kids like the brothers I heard of last week:

Romulus

and

....Martin.

Was their mother having a brainstorm?

Douglas ( ok it's a tree, not a flower)

LadyThompson · 20/01/2009 12:02

I meant OLEANDER. Not had much sleep. Sorry

BabyBaby123 · 20/01/2009 11:59

what does it have to be plant related just because you have a Poppy?

LadyThompson · 20/01/2009 11:53

What about Oreander? Lovely name for a boy. (Or girl, but it's actually a boy's name)

Perry - derived from "pear tree" apparently, though perhaps Poppy and Perry is a bit too many P's.

I wouldn't laugh at Basil, but knowing that in America they'd say Bayzil would put me off.

vess · 19/01/2009 15:15

Linden is definitely my favorite!
Rowan is nice too.

Not what you are looking for but I think Gabriel goes well with Poppy

bellabelly · 19/01/2009 14:38

asfoetida, even

bellabelly · 19/01/2009 14:37

moondog has some good suggestions but surely asfoetid is a girl's name?
