Am 38 weeks and due anytime. Have two little girls named Daisy and Violet but do not know sex of # 3 ... If its a girl we kind of want to stick with the flowery theme , but not the obvious like Lily and Poppy ... any suggestions ???

Obviously if it s a boy we are totally stuck !

Alyssa - another name for the Alyssum
Bryony - an old fashioned name
Hana - flower
Iris

I know you said not the obvious but I love Rose.

Hope this helps - there is a website which might help

Hope all goes smoothly for you in a few weeks' time

What about Rosie?

I am PG with No1 hopefully! If it is a girl we want to call it Poppy Molly and if we have 3 girls (fingers crossed) we want to stick with flowers too.

  1. Poppy
  2. Daisy
  3. Rosie

Fleur or Flora

Blossom
Lavender
Lilac

Heather

Go for heather - its my name and I love it - not too flowery, not fashionable or unfashionable, and all the way through school I was the only heather in a school full of nicolas and gemmas and sarahs!

NotAnOtter · 31/01/2007 17:56

my dp loves heather - suggests it all the time for everyones girl!

marymillington · 31/01/2007 17:59

Marigold

heather, 75% of the girls at school were called heather. but i was born a long time ago

annobal · 31/01/2007 18:46

Good luck

Some good ideas here too.

WestCountryLass · 31/01/2007 21:34

If it is a boy, maybe Rowan (more of a tree than a flower though!)?

And Heather?

Beauregard · 31/01/2007 21:37

A friend of mine has a Primrose.
