Flower names for girls

286 replies

PetalsAndFlowers · 21/07/2023 09:03

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

How about Aster. Pretty but a little different.

I love
Primrose
Campion
Lilac
Violet
Azalea
Blossom
Peony

In my opinion Lily, Daisy, Jasmine and Rose are used to often, they are beautiful names

Oh no not Hyacinth (Bouquet/Bucket)

Strictly speaking, it’s a man’s name.

'Hebe' I love this name and believe its a flower/plant name?

Also love Primrose

I would perhaps go for something that means flower like Ffion or Zara etc to avoid being gimmicky.

KirstenBlest · 30/07/2023 09:17

That Zara is a flower name is debatable. Ffion seems a strange choice if you're not Welsh.

Ohyousillydivvy · 30/07/2023 09:23

@KirstenBlest The Arabic words for flower are Zara and Azahara. It isn't a type of flower but the actual word for flower.

Ohyousillydivvy · 30/07/2023 09:25

Zinnia is my favourite, although I'm a little bit biased as it's the name of my favourite aunt.

NobodyWantsToHearThat · 30/07/2023 09:35

Blossom
Flora
Pansy
Willow
Violet
Zinnia
Petunia

Hebe is a flower, a hardy perennial flowering shrub

low hebe hedge in bloom

I like it as a name although I hadn't heard it before. I really like willow too.

Hebe 'Wiri Mist'
