I'm very newly pregnant so am bound to change my mind 1000 times but at the moment I am set on having a flower name if my baby's a girl.
My favourite was Ivy but my partner said it sounds like 'an old lady name' so that's out - I don't want to argue with him!
I feel ridiculously picky but I know I don't like Lily or any of its derivatives as I have a cousin Lily and the same with Rose.
Partner has also said no to Violet.
Currently thinking about Daisy but I don't love it the way I love Ivy!

Any suggestions would be fantastic
MN is undecided also - but definitely will not be Grace or Mae or any of those, no offence to you guys with Graces and Maes xx

His suggestions so far have been Lily (doh!) and Erica (no!)

That's it so far.
He has a son called Oliver which rules out anything similar, not that that had even crossed my mind!

My step mother is called Heather pointydog and she's evil haha!
Of course you could never have known this!

Rowan is pretty although I automatically thought of Rowan Atkinson lol.
I also have a friend who's sister has called her son Roein (I have no idea where she got the spelling from!)

What kind of names does your DP like? Maybe we can come up with a flower name that suits his taste.

I like Rowan for a girl but many don't.

Heather?
