Just curious, anyone like any names with a floral theme for girls. Just doing some research - hope I get to use it but can't count any chickens!

I loved Daisy, but had a boy in the end, and I dont think he would have thanked me for it!

If DC2 is a girl (pretty sure she is) then she will be Violet, i also like lavender but DH not keen.

I have a Daisy. Well, actually she is Margaret but we tend to use the diminutive Daisy.

I like Rosalind or Rosemary

Iris is great, or Ivy. Ivy is the oldest woman in my village and she is ace Grin.

Bryony is good.

Hazel

I once knew a Tulip. Kind if cool.

Daisy, Rose, Violet, Ivy, Fern, Primrose, Petunia (please don't!)

jaffacakehips · 31/03/2012 09:55

Rose, Violet, Iris are all lovely.

jaffacakehips · 31/03/2012 09:56

Whist I like Poppy and Daisy IMO they feel a bit wishy washy! Saying that I know several babies call Poppy and Daisy and it does work!

FondleWithCare · 31/03/2012 09:58

Oh and Flora too.

My great-grandmother's Aunt was called Chrysanthemum! I'm not recommending it to you though. DD1 is Rose - easier to spell.

I've got an Esme Bluebell. She was born in spring. Smile

welovesausagedogs · 31/03/2012 11:20

Wow, thanks so much for the replies.

I love Bluebell.

Also love Juniper, Fleur and Jasmin.

Keep them coming, please, if you can think of any.

I do so hope I get to use a new name!

Many thanks.

I LOVE Phlox. I tried and tried to get it for DD but failed. DH vetoed it, as did everyone except DH's sister who loved it too.

Still hanker to call DD Phlox.

Sigh.

Blossom
Lilac
Fern

Marigold (the other one I wanted)

There's an actress called Honeysuckle Weeks - no that is unusual. Then there's Hyacinth Bucket, of course.

Mayvis · 31/03/2012 12:38

I really liked Anemone but it was vetoed.

Janoschi · 31/03/2012 13:15
