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!! :)

Because names like Rose or Lily would have made them look stupid, no?

I'd go for Venus Fly Trap, with the Fly Trap bit being silent, and probably not if your last name is Williams.

Quercus robur

Love the name OP! My partner is an accountant, we don't have kids yet but we've saved Depreciation and Gross Margin for our first two..

or..

Helleborus foetidus?
(Stinky for short)

I thought this was going to be a joke thread.

Crikey.

I actually like Sequoia but the dendron is too much.

I concur.

I hope she doesn’t have to write the whole thing on her school bag. It will never fit.

Reminds me of the sp n Friends when ross and rachel are thinking of names rachel likes sequioa ross doesnt

Planty mc-flower bush

Well done, you've lumbered your child with a name they're going to have to spend the rest of their lives pronouncing and explaining and spelling out to everyone they meet.

Cannabaceae

Quercus for a boy. It’s Latin for oak.

Quirky for short.

Poison ivy - it’ll make her sound like a marvel villain.
Poison oak if it’s a boy

I hope this is a joke...

Fagus for boy. Latin for beech tree.

Fag for short

Tobacco for a boy.

Herbicide.

People are so snobby are rude on here.

I think Sequoiadendron is a gorgeous unique name @claudethelad - I hope no one has upset you.

How about Candida for your next child? It’s a bag fungus unfortunately but still a pretty sounding name. Nickname Candy but I prefer full name Candida

Lovely name! My husband is a Palaeontologist - two sons named Diplodocus and Archaeopteryx-Tyrannosaurus (Dippy and T-Rex for short)

Well to be fair, I have to do that and my first name is a very common (in both senses of the word) UK name with two spellings and my last name is short and the same as a fairly well known place and yet people still pronounce it differently to how I've just said to them and write it down incorrectly.

Corylus Avellana for a girl

(Or you could just call her Hazel) 😄

Araucaria
