Flower names

Any flower name suggestions for girls excluding:
Rose - close relative called this
Lily - not for me
Bluebell - try hard

My fave flowers are daffodils and freesias. Nice names if you're a cow.

Any others?

I have a friend who called her baby Honeysuckle. Don't think I'd have used it though....

They've just had baby no2. The MIL joked that if it was a boy they might call it Ragwort. Grin

Marigold, nn Mari. Looovely.

I never thought of Olivia as a flower name.

I love Clementine but veering more toward Clemency.

Liverwort :o

Latin name for Heather is Erica, btw :)

Hazel, a tree but still lovely. I am a huge fan of Abelia, type of Honeysuckle, which can also be a name but not to my taste.
