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

Of the 5 , I think Jasmine goes best with her siblings names (although you have to be able to tolerate “Jas”, as I don’t know any who don’t get it shortened by their friends). Like Rowan and Lily it’s 2 syllable with an easy shortening (Ro, Lil and Jas) and a tree, flower and bush/plant respectively.

Willow would be my 2nd choice and is actually my fave as a stand-alone name - but some feel that you need to be “willowy” ie. slim and graceful to suit it.

Hazel is too retro sounding for me, as is Violet, though I know that’s now popular again and Iris is borderline (and would be my 3rd choice).
