Does this hit you as a botanical name?

[Thistledew]

I love botanical names, but unfortunately DC2 will have the surname Gardner, which pretty much rules that out.

Could I get away with Betony as a name? It is a herb, but not too commonly known I think. Would you have seen its botanical connotation before I pointed it out here?

Erica is lovely.

I would have suggested Veronica, just because it would usually be called speedwell here. A similarly stealth approach!

Erica is perfect! Not botanical at all to some, and if you do know erica/ericaceous etc as relating to heathers it doesn't detract from it as a lovely name. (MUCH nicer than Betony too)

Great name! Congratulations

Erica - Latin for heather
