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!! :)

My father was a builder. Lots of pretty name potential there. Lintel. Bevel. Soffit. Concretia.

A bit long perhaps

My H is a bathroom fitter. We have pollyfila (polly for short) and Tyler (get it )

Orchid - for a boy or girl.

It means 'testicle'.

So beautiful.

I like shorter nicknames, so I've suggested some along with the formal names:

Hemlockburnum (Loki)
Dogwoodberry (Woody or Bear)
Tupelosythia (Lola)
Sassafrasdrangea (Angie)
Shagbarkzalea (Shag or Barry)
Sugarmaplemallow (Shuggo - obv not with Shag unless twins!)
Gingkoboronia (Ron)

Geranium

Assuming this thread is a joke then I put in:

Rubus Cockburnianus

Yes it is a real plant! Always wondered what the discoverer was doing with the plant to give it that name 😂😂

Shrubbery

@BumbleBeeFlower
I looked it up, makes you wonder 🤣.

Sequioadendron.

Wow

wow lol

My ex was a plumber. Our kids, Copperpipe, Cistern, Outsidetap, and Ensuiteshowerroom have never had any problems with their names.

It's a great way to name your kids.

@madambee it always makes me chuckle. So immature of me!

Ballonz?

Polyanthus would be a pretty name for a girl. Polly for short.

@BumbleBeeFlower you are not alone, the images this brings along 😂.

Tarragona?

Sorry to derail, was looking up the cockburn and came across this, hope it brightens your day .

Eglantine

Ah yeah @floffel like off Bedknobs and Broomsticks ! Not enough Eglantine's in the world these days.

I’d go for something more unusual next time. Maybe a monotype?

Cephalotus follicularis has a nice ring to it. Cephie for short.

This isn't serious, surely?!

No one would really call their kid that..would they?? (and yes, teachers will judge and kids will take the mic out of your child for the rest of her life)

Please dear god, if this is true, give your second child a nice solid normal nice like Simon or Alice.

Sorry posted too soon! As I’m sure you and your husband are aware, Eglantine is the other name for Sweetbriar
