Re: Plant names for boys
in reply to a message by Raven Briar
I think Aciano could work, but I don't like the sound much.
My favorites at the moment are Fern and Oleander. I also like Basil and Elm.
...and at least the idea of Gentian:
(but when I've mentioned it here, people relate it with medicinal uses primarily)
Plus Yves, if that counts...and Lotus as another GP...and I feel like Marigold and Juniper could probably be masculine, though I wouldn't use them.

I really like Gentian in theory because it sounds gentlemanly and is both beautiful and useful, but I suspect that in practice it might have a lot of teasing potential.
Yves is handsome, but I mentally want to pronounce it phonetically even though I know it is French. Ivo is my favorite male form of this name.
