Most Rose names
Holly

Dislike
Lily (But only because it’s so well used)
Daisy (twee for an adult)
Erica (I know it’s a flower, but I don’t like girl’s names which are boys names with an A on the end)
Nigella (as Erica).
Heather (V 70s!)

Gunpowder · 15/06/2020 19:32

I love almost all of the flower names.

Heather does feel 70s though. Grin And I’m with BikeRunSki on Nigella and Erica too. I also dislike Myrtle, I think because of Harry Potter and Anne of Green Gables associations.

I like Poppy, Daisy, Violet and Rose but that’s about it. Someone suggested Daffodil!! Shock

DanniArthur · 15/06/2020 23:20

I'm not a huge fan of most flower names but I do love the name Tulip! Dd's middle name is also Violet which I thought was nice at the time but very common now.
