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!

Buck the trend. Definitely. Two might be coincidence, three is silly.

Im not sure what I'd do... probably go for something nature/plant-related e.g. Olive or Willow. You could call her Florence so she has the option of Flora in the future. Florence also links to Rosa in terms of being Italian, there are other ways for names to be associated.

Clover and Hazel are both gorgeous.

I really like Willow, too.

We did consider Sorrell as a name but my firend commented it reminded her of 'sorrow' and so it put me off.

We have a Willow

another vote for tree names! Of which Rowan is probably my fave.

I have never heard of Delphine but I like it.

I like Elodie, Fleur and Jasmine.

But I think number one vote would go for Willow, although she might get called Willy for short.

Fleur
Clover
Laurel
Heather

All of these suggested upthread, so am just seconding them.

Also possibly
Primrose or May - or too old-fashioned?

My DD is called Flora.

She thinks that her future DD might be called Rose!

Zinnia

hasn't Jools Oliver already set a precedent here?

There are so many beautiful names that it would be a shame to limit your choice to flower names!

I have three children: two have 'woodland' names, the middle one has a traditional germanic name, and I'm glad she has a different sort of name.

I named my 9 week old daughter Poppy and I have also thought...if I have another daughter in the future do I give her a flower name too? If I don't will she feel left out?! So I get where you're coming from there! Anyway, I think I would go with something like Fleur, or Violet, I loved those but my DH was keen!

Elodie is nice... hmmm...
just googled flower names here's a few:

Aster,
Madder,
Laurel,
Mimosa,
Olive,
Oleander,
Zinnia

I'm kinda digging olive but could be due to super cuteness of girl in 'little miss sunshine'.

Oleander is good too.

what do ya'll think?

I like Laurel and Elodie best
