Db is going to be Daisy if it is a girl. Named after dh's Granny, and my sister's middle name. It is also a shortening of Margaret, which is my Grandma's name. So lots of family conections!

I think Jasmine would be nice to go with poppy - not too obviously flowery :)

Venus (as in flytrap) Grin

Jonquil goes well with Poppy
Daphne
Dahlia (I like that one a lot)
Flora is lovely
You could always go for Lilian or Lilias for a bit of a difference

Love triffid too though not sure if thats not more masculine.
We're going to have a flower name for a middle name if this ones a girl, Nia Rose.
I too think more than one flower name is a bit twee, reminds me of Rosemary and Thyme though of course one of those was a surname.

sSrry meant when its a family of 'matching names' not just the two.

SoupDragon · 25/04/2006 14:36

Hausfrau, I did realise that Rowan was a tree but it's still horticultural. And branching out as you said. Snort.

I think Violet and Ivy are just the best girls' names ever, absolutely love them cece....but also think Poppy and Holly 'go' together really nicely...
