HelpRe: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Joiya
1) I can see it on either the daughter of aristocratic parents in the 1890's, or on the daughter of hippies/hipsters/yuppies/artists in the 2010's. Either way, I appreciate it.
2) Sweetwilliam, as a major GP, and Aster, which I also dig on a girl, and Oleander, which I'd use as a middle name.
3) I play it pretty safe when it comes to flower names, Linnéa being my #1 flower name, but I'm a fan of Marigold and I've been liking Azalea lately. Interesting how a lot of people are mentioning Bryony, which I do love, but is also very, very popular here.

I always thought Linnea would be a great name if someone had twins, being that it means "twinflower". You could pair it with Vanamo, which is Finnish for "twinflower". Talk about subtle matching!
Linni and Vana are cool nns too.
Anyway... I like your answer about the artistocrats vs hippies, etc. It's spot on. I still like the name, though I doubt I am gutsy enough to consider it IRL.
Sweetwilliam is very cool... and I like Oleander a lot. I could totally see it one aboy.
