Flower name!

99 replies

Peach2018 · 15/10/2018 19:46

Hi,
I'm looking for a flower name. My mum was called Fleur, I'm jasmine and my daughter is Primrose so would like to keep the flowers going! I like names that are a bit unusual, I'd love to hear some suggestions?!

I quite like Peony, but I don't know if that's too out there, and Pansy or Dahlia too.

Thank you in advance!

Columbine? Perhaps look up flower fairies for inspiration?

I love Clover as a girls name. Ivy is nice too although a lot of people don’t like it as it sounds like I.V.

I recently met a lady named Sasanqua. A type of Camellia, apparently.

Peony is lovely, rose is a classic flower name as is daisy.

Summerfalls · 15/10/2018 19:52

Ignore rose forget your other daughter is called primrose

I love bluebell and honeysuckle too but my husband thinks they are a bit too out there, especially honeysuckle! I love it though. He has picked our other two children's names so it is definitely my turn to pick!

I love Iris and Violet, I'm kind of tempted to add Iris to my list although we aren't particularly looking for a flower name. What about Fearne - not a flower but definitely along those lines!!

I came on to say Fleur, simply love it! But I see it's your mum's name (lucky her)

How about Dahlia?
