What do you think of these?
Any other ideas for girly flower/ nature type names.
Daisy, Rose are lovely but perhaps a little too poplular just now.
Thx

I don't understand - why not two DDs with the same initial??

How about:
Daffodil
Buttercup
Cornflower
Pussywillow

I knew a Fuchsia once, but it's a bugger to spell and pronounce. There's always Jonquil.

I like Iris. I like Lily and Violet too, though I'm not so keen on Vi. Some other flower names (Daisy, Poppy, Rosie) seem better for children than adults to me.

Don't like Laurel. Love Marigold.

Pussywillow!!!!

Marigold makes me think of rubber gloves, sorry

Iris is lovely and elegant but Ivy is an ugly name. Makes me think of Ivy Tilsley. She could get called poison Ivy or Clinging Ivy.

Pansy, Posy and Poppy are nice but may not age well.
