Flower names that aren't too out there

Interested in creating a list of floral names that could be used as first name but may end up as middle.

For eg Blossom is beautiful but it's a bit too princessy. Also does Magnolia (for middle name if used not first) make you think of Dulex and what do you think of Zinnia?
