Has this ever been discussed? It's on the Nameberry blog today. WOW.

Poppy Honey Rosie

Daisy Boo Pamela

Petal Blossom Rainbow and

Buddy Bear Maurice

Poor Buddy is the odd-man out, apparently. Must not have been any good boy Flower names.

That's bad. I mean Daisy.and Poppy are fine but what's with the cutesy mn, I can't see them as adults.

I really don't like those names and together I hate them even more.

As first names Poppy, Daisy and Petal are nice. I like them they never really have to use the middle names so who really cares what they are.
Buddy sounds like a nickname.
However, I have serious love for Jamie Oliver so he gets a free pass :

I feel like those are names for a family of teddy bears!

It looks like a 4 year old named all his children.

I agree, Poppy, Daisy and Petal are all actually kind of nice. I've never heard Petal but I like it.

But yeah "honey rosie"? "boo"? "blossom rainbow"? "buddy bear"? Yikes! It does sound like a family of teddy bears!

I too, however, will not let these horrible name choices sway my love for Jamie Oliver

I like Daisy, but that's about it.

I agree with this all the way. While I would never use those as first names, looking at them separate, not so bad.

Yup, I used to live in the UK and they make fun of his name choices in the media a lot. I like Daisy and Poppy on their own, but all those names together is one big WTF.
