Violet, which i've considered anyway partly to honor my aunt Ibolya.

Tulip

Rose

Hands down. It's simple, beautiful, works as a full name but also could elongate it to "Rosie" without much of an issue if you wanted something to carry or something more "cutesy".

Rose is on my long list anyway and has had flutters inside my top 10.

This year I've taught a little girl called Lily and one called Tia-Lilly; the name Lily has grown on me because of these gorgeous young namesakes but I'm aware of it's popularity. Rose doesn't feel as popular.

I’d go with Hyacinth or Iris. They’re both strong, substantive, and still beautiful.

Rose is already my own middle name, and a family name on both my mother's and father's sides. If it were my daughter's first name, it would appear much less... "filler." I didn't like Rose as a child, but it has grown on me significantly as I've gotten older.

As for which one I simply like the most, it would be Iris. I would also consider Jasmine, Violet, Lily, and Dahlia.

Rose, because I like the elegance and simplicity.

I also like Magnolia and Iris, but Magnolia can be a bit OTT and I don't actually like irises so it'd be weird to use.

Iris or Rose from your list

I'd also consider Linnea, Lilac, Celandine, and Eglantine.

Daisy

I'd go the Daisy route: cheerful, easy-going little flowers, Chaucer's favourite or so he said, and it honours my friend Desiree, whose preschool nn it was.

My other option would be Iris: perhaps the least sentimental flower of them all.

Magnolia. I love it.

- lusia

From this list definitely Iris, it is a name I absolutely love.
Second would be between Violet and Dahlia

I also like Linnea, Calla more as a middle name, Flora, Posy

From that list I'd pick Magnolia for an older sister or Lily for a younger sister. I also like Wisteria and Zinnia.

From your list, I'd pick Violet. It's the one I could most see myself using irl.

Right now, Iris, but I also love Rose and Violet.

6/22/2018, 4:18 PM

Rose, just so I could use the nn of Rosie, which I really love. Rose should be used more often as a first name.

I would also consider Iris, Violet, Lily and Jasmine, and Marigold with the nn of Goldie :)

Normally I would go with Violet but a family member used it as a middle name and we're too close for me to use it, even as a first, so I think I will go with Rose.

Iris

These would be on the short list...

Camellia
Azalea
Amaryllis
Iris

I like some others but only as middle names.

So, from your list, Iris.
From my list, today, Camellia.

Rose. Although I said earlier that it's underused as a first name, I do see now it's gaining in popularity. I'd still use it until and unless it gets into the top fifty.

Jasmine

I like Jasmine. Second choice would be Violet, and third would be Magnolia.

- Joiya

6/22/2018, 1:38 PM

Of your list, I like Violet.

I personally love Marigold, Amaryllis, Azalea, and Calluna.

I also adore Heath on boys.

(a GP of mine is Begonia, but I know most hate that)

Violet

It's one of my favorite flowers.

- Caprice +1

6/22/2018, 12:06 PM

Magnolia

But if I could choose any flower name I wanted, I would obviously choose Amaryllis.

Yasemin or Violetta

Only these spellings.

- mirfak

6/22/2018, 11:11 AM

Iris.

I'd also consider Jasmine, Rose, and Violet but no others.

Lily
Dahlia
Linnea
Rose, Rosalie, Rosa
Marguerite
Lavender (guilty pleasure)
Hazel

(My son tried to convince us to pick Petunia for his sister for a week.)

What IS your daughter's name, if I may ask?

- Danielle (guest) +1

6/22/2018, 6:59 PM

Alice - or it will be when she gets here in a couple of days (or medical reasons, the birth is scheduled). :) We're panicking over the middle name, which is TBD, but that is another story.
