Flower names

HAFranklinHAFranklin member
in Baby Names

My Mom is named Susan, which means Lily of the Valley. I am Heather. If we have a girl, I am entertaining the thought of using a flower name to make it a tradition of sorts. 

Lily and Rose are names of good friends of mine, so those are out. Daisy is my best friend's dog, so that would be weird. lol The only name I can get DH even remotely on board with is Violet.

Can you please give some more suggestions of names of flowers, or that are associated with nature? 

MN would probably be Anne or Geneva (both family names). 

Thanks!

    Linnea is my favourite. There's also Hazel, Holly, Magnolia, Ivy, Iris, Calla, or even Flora.

    Most I like have already been suggested. I'll add Marigold, Juniper and Clementine (sounds nature-y).

    Obviously I love flower names (see siggy for my favorite). Other flower names I love are Violet (beautiful alternative= Viola, although we nixed this because it means "rapes" in Spanish), Dahlia, Linnea, Lily, Laurel, Poppy as a NN for something (I guess Penelope).

    I LOVE Poppy and Lavender. DH said Poppy is atrocious and reminds him of saying "Papi" (a nn for a male). Lavender is a good middle name for us, but, we need girl names like we need a hole in our heads!

    Flower names are gorgeous...gl!

    I found a nice long list of botanical names on nameberry awhile back. I'd also recommend searching for names like your mom's (names that don't initially sound botanical, but have botanical meanings). Some less-common ones:

    Jacinta (Spanish version of Hyacinth. Cynthia might also be tied to these names?)

    Ianthe

    Susannah (means lily, similar to Susan but a little different?)

    Azalea 

    Dahlia (my fave flower name)

    Rosalie (perhaps too close to Rose)

    Camellia

    Calanthe

    Flora

    Iris

    Jasmine

    Lilac

    Magnolia (nn Maggie?)

    Marigold (nn Mari?)

    Samantha (has possible meaning of "flower" based on the Greek word)

    Sharon

    Zinnia
