Baby names with an "emblem"

Hi :)
I know there are probably rational arguments as to why this doesn't matter, but we are trying for another baby and I am really stuck with names. My current LO is called Daisy, and I LOVE that she has this cute little emblem associated with her name. We have decorated her frame with her first handprints with them, planted them in the garden, and I wear a necklace and earrings with a daisy on them too. She is quite old, so daisies have been a part of our life for quite a few years and so with having another one, I am really struggling with names which don't have any sort of obvious emblem associated with them as I worry that growing up they might be offended that I wear Daisy jewellery and we have them in the garden and on artwork etc (I even have shoes with daisies on them!) and there is nothing around the place with their name. I have no idea if any of this makes sense! But if anyone has managed to follow this far and can think of any cute girls names which have a sort of emblem associated (preferably not another flower but I am open to anything atm!), I would be super grateful! I did think of Penny but then my parents got a puppy a few weeks ago and called it Penny!

Havent RTFT so some will have been said already but -

Holly
A "gemstone" name
Ivy
Catherine (NN Kitty)
A "season" name (so you can have artworks or colourful leaves or whatever)
Sky/Skylar
Angelica (NN Angel)
Nova

Does it have to be a name that has an emblem for that name, or would something like this be an idea....

Antigone (NN Tiggy and you do hedgehogs like Mrs Tiggywinkle)
Charlotte (spider from Charlotte's Web as the "emblem", unless you hate spiders!)
You could do this with tons of characters, so pick the name you like and if it's a character use that character to get the emblem.

I would say think about meanings too, as some have mentioned... which might be less obvious, but give you more scope?

For example, for a boy, Arthur means 'bear'.

As a few less obvious girls options...

Maisie means 'pearl'
Eleanor (Ellie?) means 'bright shining one' ⭐️
Harriet means 'keeper of the hearth' 🔥
Lara / Lauren / Laura means 'laurel leaf' 🍃
Lucy means 'light' 🌞
Matilda means 'mighty in battle' 🏹

You could also have Paisley, and use the fabric / pattern?

There's also more literal options like Hazel, Harper, Heather, Hope (⚓️)...
