Baby names

A natural name

So we already have a flower and a gemstone (eg Lily and Ruby). Looking for DD3 name that continues the natural theme. Don't mind another flower but feel we may come across as hoping more for a floristry than a baby. Would like it to be a 'thing' as house is becoming festooned with lillies and rubies as friends can't resist - so don't want DD3 to feel left out in future. Would value your thoughts please?

Those aren't their actual names but the general stylee - in fact several people have suggested their names here!

And (you may detect I am getting a bit anxious now as the big day approaches) I also tried a name generator today - v spookily the first name it came up with was Summer, which I have been pondering, and the second was a double barrelled combo of the two DDs' real names...

If friends are festooning your house with lillies and rubies, I'd go for Diamond.

I don't think a Summer has to be born in Summer. I love the name - so happy, upbeat and unpretentious. Lots of lovely name ideas though. Olive is sweet.

Thank you again, testing some of these out on dh right now... Clover is getting a look in, and I love clementine but while it apparently comes from clemency, dh is concerned about the small orange association (albeit it fits the brief!)

Love Coral or Amber as they are different categories to other dd's.

Other ideas:
Laurel, olive, cherry, Leigh, angel, clover, saffron, clementine, ebony, aurora

Faye (fairy), seren (star), Selena (moon), leonie (lioness)

Iris is lovely as is robin.
I think albertine is a beautiful name for a girl (it's a sort of rose) but can see it wouldn't be to everyone's tastes!

DD is Robin. Loads of lovely things with Robins on especially at this time of year. Raven also a nice name... Linnet? Go for a bird!
