If you were to choose one fruit, one plant and one bird to be your girls name shortlist...

[SilentBoob]

Which would you choose?

Eg
Fruit: Plum
Plant: Ivy
Bird: Wren

Sensible(ish) answers appreciated.

Cherry

Rose or daisy

Raven the nicest of the bird names but i don't really like any of them, and Raven wouldn't suit a blonde.

Clementine
Daisy
Phoebe

Plum
Lily
Starling

Strawberry
Holly
Robin

Cerise
Peony
Swallow

Wow. Much as I love the sound of the word, i would not call a girl Swallow. I love Cerise though.

Someone i know posted about this thread on FB so i actually signed up for MN just to share mine...
Bastard ironwood
Ugli
Rough faced shag
(thanks google)

Hmmm yes, now that you mention it....I hadn't thought of that... [dumb emoticon]

Juniper
Jonquil
Wren

Girl

Pomeline or Lemony
Anise
Teal

Boy

Huckleberry
Hawthorn or Larch
Finch

DH suggested Dipper for a boy... I told him it was on a par with Swallow for a girl

Pippin
Rose
Booby Bustard Gannet Flamingo Loon Cuckoo ... dammit all there must be something ... ah, I think I've thought of one that actually might work as a girl's name (most of the ones so far are fails) - Serin.

Victoria (plum)
Bryony
Raven
She'd need to be born with a head of dark hair to get away with Raven. (and Vicki, but that's because the Victoria I knew had long very dark hair).

Fruit: Pamplemousse - my favourite ever French word.
Plant: Clover
Bird: Eanìn (Irish for wren)

I LOVE that Persimmon has made a couple of appearances. You all roared with laughter when I suggested it a few months back.

Wren makes me think of Ren and Stimpy.

Can't do Raven - she'll likely be very blonde.

I do like Ivy but it's just been Beyonced.

Some of these bird ones are making me laugh. It's hard to come up with a good bird name.

And to clarify - she won't be Fruit Bird Plant Surname. She'll have one fruit / bird / plant name and then an ordinary middle name.

Seems an odd way to choose a name to me. Linnet is lovely, but mostly because it reminds me of the Linnet in Green Knowe, I don't actually associate it with a bird. Clementines were apparently named after a Clement, but I guess that's like knowing Mercedes was a girl's name before the car, it's still the car you think of first.

Fruit: Clementine, Mirabelle, or Pomeline

Bird: Lark, Wren, or Phoebe

Plant: Primrose, Maple, or Camellia

Kiwi
Weeeed (as in the Flowerpot men)
Kiwi

Oooh what's a better way to choose a baby name Nooka? All tips gladly taken - we're really struggling with girls names :)

Physalis
Delphine
Rosella (it's a beautiful parakeet type Aussie bird)

Passion Fruit
Deadly Nightshade
Common Wintering Mallard

Or you could go biblical:
Fruit of Our Loins
Burning Bush
Bird of Peace.

If we're going all Latin on the bird names:
Mavis

or Peregrine, Piper, Polly?

Ok been doing a little search (instead of doing work) so sorry if the list is long but these names sound good to my ear.

Fruit- Juniper, Bramble, Olive, Pina, Raisin, Rosella, Tamarin

Plant- Willow, Hazel, Aspen, Bryony, Camelia, Orchid, Ada, Nigella

Bird- Wren, Robin, Linnet, Dove, Raven, Teal, Sparrow, Mistle, Siskin, Nene, Eider, Harlequin

Eider ducks are lovely, but if you've ever heard one (well, an eider drake to be accurate) you couldn't possibly use it as a child's name.

Cue Frankie Howerd impersonations...

Olive
Holly
Robyn
