Comments for the name Jonquil

I think this name is my favorite of all the flower names. It is a cool name and I love the sound of it. It's uncommon and definitely more unique than some of the other flower names that are too popular. I knew a girl named Jonquil in school years ago. She was spunky, athletic and full of energy.

It's kinda cool, but it sounds like a medicine.

I think this is a unique but fairly easy to pronounce name. If you want your child remembered, name her Jonquil. Author Rumer Godden had a sister named Jonquil who I believe went by Jon. I think a nickname is unnecessary.

Sounds too much like Nyquil.

I think this is my least favourite flower name. I don't like the way the "qu" sounds in the middle. It's unique, I'll give it that.

Said with a French pronunciation, rhymes with "donkey" and sounds like "junkie".

If I hadn't read the description, I would have thought this was a male ghetto name. Very ugly.

I know that it is a flower but it doesn't sound at all feminine and looks very ghetto-y.

I think the name sounds prettier when the emphasis is placed on the second syllable, pronounced jahn-KWIL.

It's spunky - a good name for a Spring baby when the bulbs are in bloom, or to honour a relative called John or Jonathan when Jane, Joanna, etc won't do. I like it best in the middle name spot.

In French, "jonquille" is the name of a colour, a shade of yellow known as "daffodil" in English.

I admit that it does sound unique, but overall I dislike Jonquil as a name. A girl with this name might be called Jon, and the name itself sounds ugly with the "quill" in it.

It never occurred to me to pronounce this as "JAWN-kwil." I've never heard it spoken so whenever I read it, I always imagine it as being pronounced "jon-KEE" because it looks so French.

I like the flower, but I think the name sounds ugly.

I had no idea it was floral, I always thought it was made up. Either way, it's very ghetto.
