Which floral name?

[Elderflowerfluff]

Nancy Rose
Martha Violet
Florence Violet

Please can you suggest some of your favourite girls first and middle flower name combinations?

I’ve always liked the names Sorrel and Jasmine. Rose is lovely but over used these days. Nancy Rose is lovely though.

Flora is lovely. Nancy is such an ugly name.

Martha Violet

Agree!

Rose is meh as a middle name. I'd go for something stronger-sounding.
Nancy Florence is good.

Do you have a favourite flower?

Martha has grown on me over the years, I think Martha Violet is nice

Florence Violet of your choices. I personally find Martha dowdy and Nancy quite “hipster cool”/trendy sounding (and thus more likely to date).

My favourite retro (like Florence) or more classic style first names with a floral middle name-

Josephine Lily
Evelyn Lily
Emmeline Lily
Vivian Lily
Isabel Lily
Eleanor Lily
Caroline Lily
Lillian Iris
Julia Iris
Lydia Iris
Verity Iris
Cecily Iris

I like the flow of a 3 syllable first name with a 2 syllable middle (although obviously I don’t know what would suit your surname which is more important).

I've just met a Dahlia. Wow, fabulous name! Dahlia Violet? Dahlia Florence? I don't like Nancy.

I love Florence and Violet, but somehow not together.

I also love Rose and Primrose.

Because of the "Floral" sound in Florence, I'm not sure it works with another flower name as well as a different name might.

How about one of the flower names as a first name?

Oh and other name combinations with flower names:

Evangeline Rose
Primrose Alice
Harriette Rose
Katherine Violet
Eliza Rose
Elizabeth Violet

What about Martha Rose?

I'm not so fond of Nancy as your other names.

Nancy Rose is lovely.

Ruth Violet

Agnes Rose

Coral Pink ( not really!)

Willow Rose

Celandine.

That's pretty - and unusual.

I love Florence (hence username!) and I have an Iris. I also really like Hebe.

@Calliopespa
Isn’t it? I met a girl with this name years ago. Never met anyone since with the same name.

All lip élu but I’d go Martha Violet.

Yes, I've not heard it either, but could see it being popular.

Florence Rose

From your list I like Florence Violet best.
Nancy Rose seems too nautical to me, the good ship Nancy Rose!

My favourite flower names are Fleur, Flora and Rosalba.

I really dislike Nancy and Rose is pretty but so common as middle name.
Martha Violet - I don't think they go together as different style.
Florence Violet - in my opinion too floral.

What do you think of the other posters' new suggestions?

Jacinta
Peony or Posy
Silene
Nerine
Nerea

Martha Rose? I encountered a Sophie Rose the other day and thought it followed really nicely.

I have a Nancy and a Rose.
I love Nancy Rose.
