Flower names please

I'm struggling to find a middle name for a girl & I was thinking along the lines of a flower inspired name. Not something totally off the wall, but a bit unusual & definitely not Lily/Daisy/Poppy/Rose or anything of that ilk.

All suggestions welcome.

Bluebell. Or is that a bit geri Halliwell.

Have to say I love Daisy but was vetoed by dp due to its popularity.

Love marigold but it reminds me of rubber gloves, also love clover but all I can think of is the spread - ditto flora.

Why do so many names have to have unfavourable associations?

The first name is quite a plain two syllable name beginning with E. Sorry I'm one of those superstitious one's that just daren't reveal it 'just in case'!

Rosemary makes me think of garlic & potatoes, Lavender reminds me of Harry Potter, Petal - Jamie Oliver has that for one of his daughters doesn't he? Blossom - teen sitcom from the 90's, I love Willow but already know one. Also love Violet but it's a bit close to the word 'violent' for my liking!

Did I mention I'm really hard to please??!

Keep 'em coming!

Violet, Blossom, Petal, Heather, Iris, Jasmine? I think all of those are lovely but it's hard with flower names, there are so many crazy ones out there!
