1) Begonia: thumbs down as I can't think of a nice nn, which is a problem with a four-syllable name, and it reminds of of 'begone'. Maybe as a middle name.
2) Viorel & Hyacinthe are nice, although not something I'd actually use myself.
3) Lilas & Eglantine, maybe

I was thinking Nia would be a decent nickname for Begonia, or Bego if I wanted to be daring. Viorel is cool! I have to be honest and say that I have never heard of it.
Lilas is decent as well. I have a grandmother named Lila, and I have always appreciated the sound. Eglantine is a GP of mine. Wouldn't fly well in the US though (imo).
