Flower Names- do i buck the trend?

[bellarosa]

Hi

I have two dd's both with flower names, rosa and daisy, and am now pregnant with girl no'3. do i continue with the flower theme or do i buck the trend and call her something totally un-flora related?
ooh i've just thought she could be called flora! ah ha!
I just dont want her to feel left out if i call her something like polly (or what ever)for instance.
My parents, and two out of three of my sisters names begin with A except for one of my sisters who's name begins with M and who concequently feels 'left out'.

What d'ya think?
Any good names appreciated too!

Violet is a lovely name and not very widely used.

Lilly/Lily/Lillie is nice too but quite popular now I think.

As you can see I think you should stick with flower names. lol.

May be nice to continue flower theme although Rosa souns less of a flower than Rose so wouldn't be instantly noticeable if you didn't....

Ivy seems to be getting popular....Lily is just gorgeous btut as momof says very popular....also think poppy is sweet

yeh i was thinking of Violet, what about Marigold!? Goldy, Mari...

I have a soft spot for Iris - floral but not too cutesy.

I tried this last year and everyone thought I was completely bonkers but if your baby is due roundabout now, then Snowdrop.

Please don't use Marigold (gloves), Hyacinth (Bucket) or Petunia (Dursley).

Otherwise lovely, why not continue the theme? I love Lily and Iris and Violet. I'm not that keen on Poppy.

I would stick with the flower theme if it was me.

Blossom
Clover
Camellia
Poppy

dd 1 wants to call her poppy, i'm slightly against as my mum had a mad friend called poppy who slightly scared me as a child with nude sunbathing at any given oppotunity!

Heather?

My niece is called Bryony which I think is lovely.

when is she due?

Don't think it matters if it's a flower or not, as long as it's pretty. But Violet is lovely.

i love love love Iris, Lily, and Aven (a red or yellow flower)

cute for a baby but i dont think a 30 yr old woman could ever be taken seriously being called blossom!

snowdrop i do like though... snowy! aww!

lucille
columbine
fearne
cherry

baby due august.
bryony lovely but had nightmare tutor at uni called same.

I like the theme or you could expand it to Hazel, Heather, Willow, Acacia...

another vote for Iris.... think they suit the other names best. But not too matchy matchy, as Daisy and Poppy would be...

columbine... lovely... but horrible massacre in america comes to mind

names are such a nightmare they always have bad associations for someone.

dh likes hazel and heather unfortunatly reminds me of two druggy girls at uni
willow i like
iris is rather srtong and grand, i think you could take a 30yr old iris seriously

More trees...

Ashley
Ashby
Laurel
Elana (Hebrew for tree)
Kaya (yew tree)
Keisha (Cassia tree)
Lina (Palm tree)
Rowan (Red-berry tree
Olivia (Olive tree)

Yes Columbine would be lovely, but being American I can of course never look at it the same way.

I love Hazel, Poppy, and Iris and actually am quite fond of Marigold due to "Magic For Marigold", an L.M. Montgomery book I read approximately 15,000 times the year I was ten.

My step daughter is Heather and dp's Aunt is Flora, both of which are lovely.

I have a cousin and Aunt named Hazel, although i find that name very bland

My Dalmatian is Willow

I love Lilly - although popular i think it's rather timeless

DP would of been Poppy was he a she, however he despises it

Iris i adore

Marigold? I just think yellow rubber glove lol

Acacia
Delphine
Eliza
Elodie
Fleur
Jasmine
Lilliane
primrose
Yasmin

How about Anthea - goddess of the flowers?
