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've never made the connection until now, but I wanted to be an astrophysicist (still do really) but I'm not intelligent enough, and the girl's name that I wanted to use is Celeste. Shock My choice of boy's name has nothing to do with space/sky though nor is it connected to the profession that I actually ended up in (statistical analyst).

BlackAmericanNoSugar - I reckon Anova would have been ideal for another girl.

My good friend is a dermatologist and her twins are Psoriasis and Rosacea. The dog is Erythema.

If it’s twins honeyblossom and cherryblossom

on a more serious note, if I were an actual botanist who wanted to give a nod to my profession/passion (why? as someone said early on it isn't like it is a branding opportunity) I'd call my daughter Linnea
