Re: Plant names for boys
Aciano sounds too much like 'anciano', which means elderly person in Spanish. It also reminds me of Asiago cheese, but if it weren't for those associations I'd like it. It has a nice sound and the flower does make for a handsome association with it's deep saturated color.I'm really starting to like Hawthorne, and Basil is a favorite along with Silva (although it's usage is commonly feminine)
I'm also fond of:Linden
Valerian
Clove
Alder
Hollis

Hawthorne has a neat sound, and it is nice that it has literary associations as well as plant. Valerian has really grown on me. I really like Silvanus for boys and prefer Silva on a girl, but I can see how Silva could be male.
