HelpRe: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Joiya
I don't like Begonia. It just doesn't sound appealing to me. Not into flower names for boys either.
Non-traditional flower names I'd consider (very seriously, I really like botany and natural history so these names appeal to me a lot):
Amarantha
Bryony
Camellia
Calanthe - I like the nn Calla for this, which is coincidentally also a flower name haha
Diantha
Iris
Juniper - probably with the nn June, but I also think Juniper is fun to say on its own
Magnolia - I like the nn Nola for this
Poppy & Posy - I like these two, but I am not sure if they are strong enough to stand alone as given fns imo
Primrose - prefer this one as a mn
Zinnia

Love your list!
Amarantha is bold and upbeat, a great choice. I could totally see it in use.
Bryony and Briony we actually considered. I think they have a certain charm, plus they sound trendy but are not.
Camellia is so sleek, as is Calanthe. I think these would be most likely to be used (by me) if I were to go the flower route ever. Calanthe is especially daring and darling.
Diantha is a great name... I can see it as a perfect alternative to honor a Diane or Diana, and still sound fresh. I have a thing for 'th' though.
Iris is one of my favorite names, and Zinnia and Magnolia are stellar as well.
Juniper and Poppy are probably my least faves, but only because they have a trendy vibe to be. Posy is adorable though, and Primrose is endearingly sweet.
Thanks for the offerings!
