"Flowery" girls names

[stdomingo]

I'm very newly pregnant so am bound to change my mind 1000 times but at the moment I am set on having a flower name if my baby's a girl.
My favourite was Ivy but my partner said it sounds like 'an old lady name' so that's out - I don't want to argue with him!
I feel ridiculously picky but I know I don't like Lily or any of its derivatives as I have a cousin Lily and the same with Rose.
Partner has also said no to Violet.
Currently thinking about Daisy but I don't love it the way I love Ivy!

Any suggestions would be fantastic
MN is undecided also - but definitely will not be Grace or Mae or any of those, no offence to you guys with Graces and Maes xx

On the plant/flower theme I know a Daisy, Poppy, Liliana, Jasmine, Holly, Violet, Rosie, Hazel.

I really love the name Bay and wanted it for DD but DH wasn't keen.

Thanks
I do like Holly but as with Lily, I have a cousin with this name
I guess it wouldnt matter if I had like 15 cousins but I only have 4!

Bay is cute, some of the herby names are really lovely.

Pansy. Posy.

I know it's not a flower but am currently reading a novel about an Ivory... Love it!

Hazel
Laurel
Keziah
Willow
Tamara
if you widen your net to include trees.

Callantha (Greek -- lovely flower)
Leilani (Hawaiian -- heavenly flower)
Iola (Welsh -- violet)
Safrron
Aven (the mountain aven is a plant with small white, yellow or red petals)
Jolanta/ Yolanda (another version of Violet)
Linnea (a small blue flower, also Swedish naturalist and taxonomist Carl Linnaeus)
Chloe (green shoot)

Aw I've just read a novel about a Jessamy and would love to be able to call my baby that!
I've wracked my brains through all my favourite novels/novelists/songs/films - nothing!

I have an Iris Maria, thought I was having a boy (unconfirmed, but my DP and 3 midwives whilst pushing were taking bets that it was a boy!!)

Helps if you have a middle name to "complete" the whole thing!

mathanxiety Great idea! Definitely going to consider some of them

Chloe is my middle name hehe

Also Rowan if trees are acceptable

kingbeat23 I'd like the middle name to be Else/Elsa I think but not sure how that will go down!

I love Elsa. It's a gorgeous name.

Ivy Elsa duh-duh (insert surname).....how maybe syllables does your surname have?

Thanks Dastardly it may be end up being my first choice if I really can't have Ivy!

I would love Ivy Elsa

kingbeat23 you're psychic haha
it has two and begins with W

nice, i like it.......you can thank me when she comes!

He'll have to deal with it won't he haha?

begonia

I love Poppy and dd4 (if it is a dd) will probably be that...although friend has just called her baby that but it has made me love it even more

BTW my cousin's baby is called Rosalie

Oh I know a Rosalia as well and a Dahlia.

Jasmine, Angelica, Fern, Hyacinth?..well maybe not the last one..

it's nice to have a different name like Rowena, or Fleur

I was the only Keeley in my school and it is still not very common.

Blossom
Posy

Love Ivy!

Posy is lovely
Jessamine is an old version of Jasmine and I think it's prettier
Tansy is one of my favourites and I love Ianthe.

Jessamine is lovely!

I tried with Ivy again and got a big fat no.
He likes Daisy though, but not much else.
Aaaagh!

I agree SpanishHarlot having a name which is different can be nice, I've never met anyone with my name yet although there are a lot of them, especially in Wales

i'll second Briony (or Bryony), Poppy, Hazel, and I love Ivy. stick to your guns and keep dropping the name into conversation with your DH, he'll soon ge used to it!

for a bit more off the wall how about Cleanothus (Cleo for short) OK that one is a little weird!!
