Name for sibling of Sequoiadendron?

[claudethelad]

I'm expecting a second child and struggling with name ideas. Not sure of the gender yet but would like something unique that you don't find often. My husband is a botanist which is why we called our daughter Sequoiadendron (Sequoia for short!) and we're looking for something similar that's plant related.
Thanks in advance for the help fellow mums!! :)

I wish I was an economist. I quite fancy having triplets called Alpha, Bear and Ceteris Paribus.

I work for the NHS. Little MRSA is 6 now. AIBU to be annoyed her teacher keeps pronouncing it Marissa?

My DB is an accountant. We went NC after he called his twins Profit and Loss. Poor little mites.

^Cringe

Pretentious^

Those are great names,but I can't quite work out your DHs profession for the context.

*According to the U.K. government site, (google maximum name length) the dvla only accept full names with total letters

I'd just been made redundant when DS2 arrived. Universal Credit Smith is such a lovely little lad

Hahaha!

Very funny OP!

dd picked a name for one of her D&D online characters from a plant catalogue and I always thought it would make a great name for a girl: Agastache

This might out me but as DH is a driving instructor our children are called

^ may I suggest my own name as something suitably botanical. Or Leylandii, but only if your family has the tall gene.

My lawyer friend’s daughter’s name is WednesburyUnreasonable.

My DH is a fundraising manager so our DC are Philanthropy, Chugger and ProfessionalBeggar.

@Bluetrews25 I bet you have a right pain with Scaphoid healing when she hurts herself 😂

Hello everyone! This is OP, unfortunately I lost the password to my original account haha. Thank you for all the wonderful suggestions, Rhododendron was particularly good and is what my husband and I are likely going to call him/her. I must say, the number of people insulting our DD's name is incredibly hurtful as this isn't a joke and sequoia trees have a great amount of sentimental value to us both, although some replies were rather funny :D.

Thank you for all the help xx

Good luck to you and the rest of the McPlantface clan 👍

You know you are gong to get a lot of people copying you now. @claudethelad.

Actually, AnneKipanki, it's a really common name where I live...

Is it ?
Mumsnet is an education . I do mean that , not sarcasm BTW.

With the dendron bit added on @LonginesPrime

Are you in the USA @LonginesPrime?

Just had a quick google because I am bothered with my nose . Apparently Ssisyquoia was a man , who answered to the english name of George , before he was a tree.
He was a very talented Cherokee.

Demetra for a girl?

Sorry to disappoint, but I was only joking - although, as you say, Mumsnet is an education so I'm sure it's common somewhere!

It is popular in Oregon @LonginesPrime .

I don’t think people are insulting the name OP, it’s a perfectly reasonable name of a tree species...they are mainly taking the piss out of you for lumping a child with it.

Well as an architect I naturally called mine "Burj Khalifa" "Sidney Opera House" and "The Shard". My husband works for Next and number 4 was born on the date of their big sale so we called them "Twenty percent off". We ran out of ideas for number 5 so we put it to a public vote and "Baby McBabyface" will be born in July. Can't wait!
