Flower names for girls

286 replies

Hello! I’m new here. Currently expecting our 3rd & final baby. We have two beautiful girls already - Poppy and Bluebell, and have recently found out this baby is a girl too! So we are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell. I’ve always loved Rose, however it I struggle because of the association with Rose West the serial killer (silly I know because the name and the flower are beautiful but I always think of her) Lily is also gorgeous but I already know lots of Lily’s. Any suggestions?
Other option we thought of is going for a jewel name as I’m named after a jewel myself, but ideally would like a flower to go with the other two 😊💜 - Please note, my other 2 girls are already named so I really don’t need to know if you don’t like their names 😹 just looking for ideas on what to call DD3, thanks in advance 🌸🩷 x

I love Dahlia and Iris

Emmab321 · 21/07/2023 09:08

Primrose ?

PeskyRooks · 21/07/2023 09:09

I have a Bluebell!

I love Daisy.
I'd be tempted to use Lily-Rose but hyphens are frowned upon on MN!
Or you could use nature names that aren't necessarily flowers
Hazel
Fern
Autumn
Clover

How about Rosie instead of Rose then? I really don’t think other people are likely to associate the name with Rose West rather than 101 other more lovely associations. Also love Iris, Violet (Lettie or Vi) and Lily.

Also Rose is beautiful and I wouldn’t think of Rose West. I know a few little Roses and haven’t made the association once (until now).

I do know a toddler Myra though….
