We've decided to continue with the unintentional botanical theme and have narrowed it down to five names - would appreciate any comments as we can't decide :)

Hazel
Willow
Violet
Iris
Jasmine

All are lovely but I think Hazel works perfectly with Rowan and Lily x

We have a new Violet in the family!
Also have a Roan (ds)

Iris is my favourite

SpringGreenOnion · 14/04/2025 20:49

Iris or Hazel. Congratulations

BootballJoy · 14/04/2025 21:12

Jasmine is my favourite

Willow. Always one of my girls names on my list.

also like
Ivy and Fern.

Iris, Violet or Hazel are my favourites with Rowan and Lily. Willow sounds a little similar to Lily to me. Jasmine has a harsher sound (to me). I would pick Iris 😊

Mumofgirls2017 · 14/04/2025 22:02

Iris, willow or hazel

uncomfortablydumb60 · 14/04/2025 22:07

I think Hazel goes best with your other two

TomatoSandwiches · 14/04/2025 22:11

Hazel is my favourite of yours but when I read your names I thought of Marigold.

GiddyCrab · 14/04/2025 23:23

Iris or Hazel.
Flora?

I like Iris out of your list.

Clover and Marigold are also lovely

LoudPlumDog · 15/04/2025 01:15

Hazel

CatsWhiskerz · 15/04/2025 02:31

Hazel.
I also like Heebe, Holly and sorrel

user1492757084 · 15/04/2025 02:55

I love Rowan, Lily and ..

Iris
Hazel
Jasmine

.. in that order.

Hazel or iris

BoleynMemories13 · 15/04/2025 18:43

I love Hazel and Iris. Both would go well.

Jasmine is ok, but a little dated.

I'm not too keen on Violet. Predictive text often suggests violent or violence when you start typing it, and autocorrect sometimes changes it to this. That would definitely put me off.

I don't understand the popularity of Willow. It sounds such a weak, whiny name, to me. Plus I wouldn't use it with Lily, as it repeats the 'il' sound.

Iris would be my top choice, but Hazel is equally gorgeous.

mathanxiety · 15/04/2025 20:43

You could go with a less obvious floral name - Cicely.

shoopshoopdedoo · 15/04/2025 23:26

Iris is my favourite, followed by Hazel

HeySnoodie · 15/04/2025 23:28

Iris

fiveIsNewOne · 15/04/2025 23:34

Hazel is the best.

Willow sounds too similar to Lily.
Hazel is in theme, but not overly so

user2848502016 · 15/04/2025 23:40

I love Hazel

JacketPotatoAvecFromage · 15/04/2025 23:49

Hazel or Iris would work so well with Rowan and Lily. I do love Jasmine and Violet too, but don’t think they work quite as well x

Writerscompanion · 16/04/2025 19:02

I love Hazel and Iris. Couldn’t use Hazel as I worked with an awful one but I wished I could, and my daughter’s middle name is Iris. Great taste!
