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?

I like juniper. I also love flora if it wasn't for the margarine association. I have a sneaky fondness for daffodil, wouldn't be brave enough though

I met a small Vinca and thought it was a perfect name. Unusual, easy to spell and a pretty flower.

Apparently her parents had another name planned, but when she was born someone remarked that her eyes were Vinca-blue. And her parents thought "Vinca!"

Magnolia is definitely the paint for me.

Amaryllis

I had a boss who called his daughter Neroli. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neroli

There's Nigella too, but I think Farage has ruined that one.

May is the old name for Hawthorne.
Jonquil is nice. I read a book about a girl called Jonquil, Quillie for short.

Nigella flowers are lovely
