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 can see a deed poll name change coming up in her future, poor thing.

Although I once knew an Archibald Archibald

*If they identify as male:

Cactus (nn Cacka)
Weed - cool name for festivals
Giant Redwood

If identifying as female:

Belladonna
Canary Date Palm
Aloe Vera (nn Aloe Aloe)*

For fuck's sake....they will bemale or female, end of.

This is a joke, surely?? 😂😂😂

Hebe

Husky I think the post you’ve quoted was somewhat tongue in cheek...

Dandy (dandelion)

Although I once knew an Archibald Archibald

Ah, but there is an Archidendron plant, so in keeping with the theme, he could be Archie for short.

My husbands an engineer we went with Spannerella.

What is your job OP? I think, instead of picking a name to match Sequoiadendron, you should pick a name that reflects your profession.

I hate it when I have no idea whether the OP that looks like a joke is actually real.

What about Photosynthesis? or Synthia for short

HuskyloverI congratulations on completely missing the joke.

Dandelion for a boy. Although perhaps he'll grow up and change his name to Jaskier.

For a girl? Phalaenopsis. You can call her Phae for short.

PMSL

"Orchid", from the Latin word "orchis", meaning "bollocks".*

• True fact, the roots supposedly look like balls.

Atropa Belladonna, Deadly for short.

Or Ridiculosaparenta

I'm so sorry we didn't see this before having our two, as we would definitely have called them Sassy (NN Sas) and Rory (NN R).

I know a little girl called Artemissia and I think that's lovely, she gets Artie for short x

Aster - very pretty flower x

Sativa??

You need to go really 'out there' and call him Nigel.

I don't know, Nigel is probably one of those names that's ripe for a comeback.

Call a baby boy Nigel and next thing you know, they'll either be in a class full of Nigels, or at the very least, that's what all their younger brothers will be called.

I know a sequoia! I think it's nice. Pretty sure she's not got the dendron bit tho

Oak or Fig for boy
Or you could go for Everest because you've already got the biggest tree, might as well do a mountain

Neil for a boy.
And Jane for a girl.
