Marigold, Sorrel, Tansy, Daisy...

[Occasionalnamechanger]

What other names with a similar theme are there? Floral, a bit retro (1930s kind of vibe)?

And what kind of middle names go with the floral? I'm tempted by a really traditional middle name like "Janet" or "Susan". Is that all a bit too much?

Mary as middle name.

I like all of those and the middle names too.

Also Lily, Iris, Rose/ Rosie/ Rosa, Marguerite, Primrose, Violet, Viola, Jasmine, Ivy, Iris, Tulip, Holly, Rosemary, Petunia, Poppy, Clementine, Flora, Fleur, Heather, Myrtle. Anne or Elizabeth for middle name?

I like all of those. I’d include:

Topsy
Josie
Iris
Ivy
Petunia (I had a hen called this)
Suki (another hen-but I use all the names I like on hens)
Polly (hen!)
Dotty (we have one in DD’s class)
Primrose (hen)
Zinnia
Mariette (might as well include all the Larkin names)

I love primrose and rosemary

Dahlia

You could have May as a middle for most of those flower/shrub names.

I love the annotation of hen/not-hen.

Great names too

From your original names, I like Sorrell and Tansy.

On a botanical theme, how about Rowan? Or Floriane? (I like Florian, but it’s the male form).

EDIT - gah! I intended to quote the hen list of names.

Bryony is one of my favourites & has a retro feel.

Daphne

Veronica
Hortensia
Clover

Remember you're naming a surgeon or a high court judge or a police officer, not a baby or a toddler.....

Magnolia is one of my favourites which would fit the vibe?

Loveday? Not a flower, but feel it fits the theme.

I love your name list, especially Sorrel and Tansy - so pretty and unusual, but easy to spell / pronounce. Sorrel Jane or Tansy June maybe?

I know it's not really floral and v out there bjt I've always quite liked Plum 🙈

Oh, I do like month names - May, and April as middle names.

Oh, and I have an Iris already so while it's a great pick, I can't use it twice. 😅

Really love Susan. For me it's because she is an awesome character in the Terry Pratchett Discworld books. I would also think that names like that will probably increase as people use their parents names as middle names and grandparent names as first names.

Rosemary fits your floral list. I would also consider something like Pearl, Opal, Emerald, as natural but not floral.

@Moreteaandchocolate

I love Posy (reminds me of Ballet Shoes). I also love Nancy and don't know why it wasn't on my list already.

@JellyTotsAreYum

Holly is another name I definitely should have thought of! Love it.

For a baby or a puppy?

Primrose
Violet
Rosemary
Ivy

I think you're right, traditional middle name like Elizabeth, Jane, Mary

Ooh yes as PP said month or season middle names would be lovely, depending when she's born

April, May, June, Summer, Autumn, Winter

Laurel?
