Flower names for girls

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

Fleur?

Leab23 · 23/07/2023 12:38

I love the name Flora or Blossom (could shorten to flo and Floss even tho its doesnt start with a B)! Rapunzel is a nature based name if not exactly a flower, it's a name for Lambs lettuce which is adorable.

Primrose is a nice alternative to Rose, or Rosa

Nellynoowhoareyou · 23/07/2023 12:40

Iris all the way. Love Hazel too.

KirstenBlest · 23/07/2023 12:49

Lamb's lettuce is bland and grows like weeds. Not heard it being called Rapunzel. It might be a variety. it's a tomato variety, and a houseplant, Devil's Ivy.

My daughter is Lilia - I know not technically a flower but I chose it because like you I liked Lily but it was super common.

It’s a lovely name and story about names. My son is named after “a prayer for Owen Meany” but Henkes has a book titled Owen. It’s still displayed in my sons room 22 years later. Chrysanthemum has 12 of the 26 letters. I also like Lilac which had its own thread very recently. Lilac Ann is a bit less cumbersome than Chrysanthemum Ann

@Lavenderandbrown That was one of my books for A level English Lit!

NP12 · 23/07/2023 14:23

What about Camellia

My 16 month old daughter is a Rose.

To me it doesn't matter that there is a Rose West. Who cares.

I've always loved that name.

I have always had positive comments on her name, never anything negative.

DeeLasVegas · 24/07/2023 11:48

Blossom, Fleur, Daisy or Violet.

Helena91 · 24/07/2023 16:26

Variations of Rose maybe? We have Rosalie. Or Primrose, Rosie, Rosemary, Rosa?

Baba197 · 24/07/2023 18:27

Iris or ivy? I love willow- not a flower but still in the same sort of theme. We have a meadow in my sons year as well as ivy

Muminthebluecoat · 24/07/2023 20:32

Violet

Alexa51 · 24/07/2023 20:39

Heather, Petal, Blossom, Iris, Ivy. Heather is pretty and unusual.

Loulou377 · 24/07/2023 21:29

should have said my daughters full name as the flower connection is there ….

Lilia-Rose

santass79 · 25/07/2023 08:23

Lily Rose is beautiful and meaningful.

soraash1iru · 25/07/2023 08:35

I recommend taking a look at the language of flowers, it's a language from the Victorian Era and it's truly wonderful, also something nice to make sure your daughter's name doesn't symbolise hatred or anger

Beautiful names especially Willow. The tree is delicate, peaceful, near the water and the soft leaves are so gentle❤️

Gentleone · 25/07/2023 10:06

Hello. Beautiful names your little one have, so peaceful. Just a thought why not say your girls name and see if what fits. For example say the names, Poppy, Bluebell and, I love Willow a beautiful soft tree that has peace written all over and mainly grows near water. When the soft leaves touch your face or you run your hand through it you feel gentle leaves against you…magic

i wish you all the best with your pregnancy and delight in choosing her name. Be safe and happy Susie🙏

Theads · 25/07/2023 10:48

Hyacinth
Is a beautiful floral name with a beautiful meaning also.

RosesAndHellebores · 25/07/2023 11:03

Oh no not Hyacinth (Bouquet/Bucket)

Missy1007 · 25/07/2023 11:21

How about - Ivy

cordelia16 · 25/07/2023 17:45

As pretty as Primrose is, I think I would avoid another P name. The flower theme is matchy enough, so it seems like all of them having separate initials would be better (plus, from experience, the middle child always finds a way to feel left out ... why give her two sisters matching initials?).

I like Iris, Jasmine, Juniper, and Willow.

And I like Magnolia (cute nn potential with Nola).

Raebmcd · 25/07/2023 19:22

How about Ivy?

Raebmcd · 25/07/2023 19:33

Wysteria, Lilac, phlox, or Posey?
