Help[Opinions] Re: Flower/plant names (English) for girls + more
in reply to a message by Ora (hufflepuffer)
I love flower names! My favorites on your list are Acacia, Bryony, Calanthe, Cassia, Ivy, Lily, Rose, Rosemary, Senna, Thistle, and Willow.
I like these too, and think they'd work on a boy: Briar, Linden
Daffodil, Larkspur, Orchid just don't sound name-y to me.
Belladonna and Cherry I wouldn't use. Belladonna because it's too strongly associated with poison for me, and Cherry because of vulgar jokes.
Some other names I like, some of which others have mentioned: Cecily, Diantha, Maile, Daphne, Juniper, Laurel, Rush, Rowan.

And last of all an Admiral came,
A terrible man with a terrible name,—
A name which you all know by sight very well;
But which no one can speak, and no one can spell.
Robert Southey, "The March to Moscow"
