flowers as names

[funfarrell]

i love the idea of having my next baby named after a flower but all i can think of is rose (everyone chooses that) or hyacinth :eek: Any ideas?

[Ffrenchknickers]

Hmmmm....fresia, tulip, daffodil, daisy, pansy LOL, violet, buttercup, snapdragon, carnation, grevillia, orchid, LILY, bird of paradise:eek: haha Bop for short:D

Umm, no sorry, cant think of anything serious, except LILY, thats pretty:)

[DB&O]

Hi Funfarrell, what about the name Lilly, I always loved it & I'm sure its also a flower, can't think of any others at the mo, will think some more.
Ciao, Brooke.

[rynosmum]

What about Poppy, Daisy, Violet or Jasmine ?:D

[Ffrenchknickers]

Jasmine? :)

[Ffrenchknickers]

Oh, hey....you two, I said Lily and Jasmine first :p:p

[Lilac]

Dont forget Lilac!!
Lx

[Ffrenchknickers]

Wattle? LOL Bottlebrush...sorry in a stupid mood tonight:rolleyes: :rolleyes:

[rynosmum]

Hey FF, I said Jasmine one minute before you !

Ummm.....Viola ?

[rynosmum]

[funfarrell]

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. As for you Frenchie, i think you need to stop drinking (:D )

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL RM:p

I looooove Lilac and Poppy:)

Acacia? Aster, camelia, saffron (thats kinda pretty - Saffron Rose:)) Jacinto, Lavendar, Oleander, Jacaranda......

Hehe, this is fun:D

[xkwzit]

I love Lilly

Just googled for you and found a site with 80 odd flower names
http://www.thinkbabynames.com/search/0/flower

Hey no-one mentioned Daisy (too Dukes of hazzard for you?)

Heather, Iris (I had an Aunt Iris), Saffron (bit hippy perhaps?).

Good luck on your search

Thanks guys, appreciate the help. As for you Frenchie, i think you need to stop drinking ( )


Lol, ya think? What, you're not going to use Bottlebrush??:eek: :eek:

[funfarrell]

Hey you know my ob was called Iris and she was great. It means something to do with carrier of rainbows, which is nice but am worried it is like a grannie's name.:confused:

[SugarBlossom]

I think Jasmine is the best....it's my name:)

[Lilac]

LOL RM:p

I looooove Lilac and Poppy:)



Thanks Katie! me too!!
Lx

[xkwzit]

It does seem to suit a woman more than a little girl. I'm trying to picture someone yelling "Iris" in the shops and I'm not seeing it.

One of the more different names I saw while googling was Jolan, a form of Iolathne, which is Greek for some flower, I thought that was nice, but possibly everyone will think her name is Julian?

Cheers

[funfarrell]

Bottle brush? Maybe i'll name bub after you - CrazyJuice!! My fav flower is a frangiapani but am not hippie enough to call her that.

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL.......

Frangipani hey? Frange for short.....or panni.....LOL

What about Ivy? I know its not a flower but, close:)

[funfarrell]

Ivy reminds me of that boy someone knew who posted here, called Ivor Locock. Apparantly he was related to Pat MacGroin!!!:D

[xkwzit]

Hey if we are widening the field to include plant names, what about Sage? It means "wise" and I think that's really nice (a bit hippy for my DH though).

Cheers

[Ffrenchknickers]

ROFL, Ok so no Ivy then........:eek:

BTW I think Ivor Lowcock used to go out with Ophelia ****:eek:


...what is wrong with me tonight?:rolleyes: Must go to bed

[xkwzit]

There's a couple of Hawaiian names on that link I posted, maybe if you fave flower is frangipani, you'd like something a bit island-ish :confused:

Kaleni was one I think:confused:

[Ffrenchknickers]

Kaleni is pretty!

[funfarrell]

Kaleni is lovely. That is a great idea, i never thought to look at island names. THANKS!!! Must go to bed now too as i hear DH making not very subtle coughs!! Thank you all for your help.

[funfarrell]

p.s ffrenchstar, you seem to encourage me to make my otherwise serious threads silly (i love it though, very funny). Remembering the hilarity at that cups thread (shhhh not supposed to mention that again). Nitey night.

[WeThree]

(thats kinda pretty - Saffron Rose:))


Thats my dsd name!! :) Only it is spelt with a ph instead of a ff. :)
Violet, Lily and Poppy are all absolutely beautiful names :)

[Ffrenchknickers]

hahahaha....lol the cups:eek: Never will forget those cups......:rolleyes:

Night night:p:p

[Ffrenchknickers]

OH LOL Erin! I knew I had heard it somewhere before - I was just hoping it wasnt someone from here:o :o !!!! It is very pretty though - although i must say I kinda like the "FF" hehe

[xkwzit]

Hi All
Slight thread hijack here ... (sorry will let you reclaim in a minute)

Cheers (off to check those island names now)

[Ffrenchknickers]

Ffrenchie, have you ordered your cups yet ?

Yup, one in every colour and size (just in case....) LOL, no seriously I will one day:)

[WeThree]

OH LOL Erin! I knew I had heard it somewhere before - I was just hoping it wasnt someone from here:o !!!! It is very pretty though - although i must say I kinda like the "FF" hehe
lol, the ph looks so pretty when it is written though, kind of like a jewel or something. :)


you can get the cups in different colours?!:eek: :p

[Ffrenchknickers]

LOL, yup the ph does look much prettier....wouldnt work with Ffrenchstar though Phrenchstar:confused: hahaha

[xkwzit]

Erin
I'm thinking syphon when I see saphron, but you are right, its like a derivative of sapphire.

Now to reclaim the thread, more Hawaiian names (I love names).:rolleyes:

KALEI: the flower wreath; the beloved
KIELE: gardenia; fragrant blossom

[pegasus]

I'll just quickly bring this back on track to say how about Veronica as a name that is also a flower?

(LOL it's mine)

How about herb names too like Sage... (my middle name is Rosemary):D

[SAVINA]

my middle name is Fern

i new a girl named fern for her first name poor thing!

my daughters middle name is fern as well!:)

i dont think icould do it as a first name but hey what ever u like!

[Mummy_Johnno]

My niece's name is Lily Rose. I think it is beautiful .......

[Odessa]

I really like the name Veronica :)

[brooke]

the lady that took the photos of my princess... her little girls name was tulip! I love it.. so pretty and different!

[wattle]

Hey, nothing wrong with Wattle..... not too sure about Bottlebrush though. (Thanks Ffrenchie :D )

How about Petal?

[jasminesmum]

Jasmine is definately the best flower name.:D :D :D

[nemosmum]

Hey you know my ob was called Iris and she was great. It means something to do with carrier of rainbows, which is nice but am worried it is like a grannie's name.:confused:


DH's mum was named Iris and if we ever have a baby girl guess what she will be called..............IRIS :D

At first I felt the same way as you, too old fashioned but I have had about 5 years to get used to it and LOVE it now ;)

I think its really simple and sweet, it means Rainbow Goddess in greek :)

[pegasus]

I really like the name Veronica :)

Go on...you've got the same name as me haven't you?;)

As a child I hated it - was always Ronnie

[Odessa]

Nah, my name's Krystal...my TV heroine is Veronica Mars, though ;)

[clairbear]

I love Lily, Violet, Tulip, Ivy, Marigold and Daisy:)

[pegasus]

Nah, my name's Krystal...my TV heroine is Veronica Mars, though ;)

Now there's a line of names I love - gems ...Krystal, Sapphire, Jade - I'm sure there are more

I think Jasmine is one of the greats, can be shortened to Jazz etc.

PS Love Veronica Mars too (wish I was that cool in high school, she seems to be an outcast, but her self esteem is such that she can handle it all!!)

[sshellzp]

Now there's a line of names I love - gems ...Krystal, Sapphire, Jade - I'm sure there are more

My daughters name is Emerald :)

[quriouskey]

I don't know about Wattle or Bottlebrush, but Dianella could be nice.

[TinyStar]

I always liked the name Holly

[pegasus]

I don't know about Wattle or Bottlebrush, but Dianella could be nice.

Had to check if you were from WA - I'm pretty sure I couldn't name my child after a suburb.

[wattle]

Something wrong with Wattle????? :p I think it's rather lovely.

How about herbs? Rosemary

How about self-raising?

[pegasus]

Dianella is a suburb north of Perth - don't know of any suburbs called Wattle.

Did you miss that my second name is Rosemary (and I curse my mother for it - makes a name far too long - I should have married a man with a shorter surname!) There's nothing wrong with Sage

I can see where you're going with self-raising, but maybe that should be a better name for a boy? Keep the plain for the child you don't want to stand out

Sorry - we've gone off track here:)

[redbaby]

I love the name Gardenia,..

[quriouskey]

Had to check if you were from WA - I'm pretty sure I couldn't name my child after a suburb.

No, I'm from Sydney and only know Dianella as a flower. Should have checked with my husband, he's from WA. Oh well!

[quriouskey]

No, I'm from Sydney and only know Dianella as a flower. Should have checked with my husband, he's from WA. Oh well!

PS I don't think Sydney parents are bothered by using suburb names for their kids: there are lots of little Brontes here. But maybe Bronte is a nicer suburb than Dianella?

[pegasus]

No, Dianella is a fine suburb, close to the city. I hadn't really heard of Bronte as a suburb, I always think of the Bronte sisters.

Mind you, my niece is a Kiara and only after she was born, I heard of a very new suburb north of Perth by the same name, I guess the thing is I've never heard of Dianella as a flower, so it sticks in my mind as "the place where aunty dora used to live".

[ETsMum]

Have you seen this web site yet? Flowers and plants...

http://www.babynames.com.au/search-categories-flowers-plants.htm

[ThomasMum]

Remember the BBC's show Keeping Up Appeareances? Well the sisters name are Hyacinth, Rose, Daisy and Violet, sounds lovely jubbly to me!

My god-daughter name is Lilly-Jane, so purdy!

TsMum

[Odessa]

Dahlia is a nice name, as is Daphne :D

[Elfin]

How about Acacia which is nice or Flora (if you can get past the margarine:D )

[tykeal & phoenixs' mummy]

I like Azalia or Chamelia. (you could always change the spellings!)

mel:-)

[Imogensmum]

I like ACACIA- i think thats a plant- will have to go googling!

ACACIA ROSE?

JASMINE LILY?

[Imogensmum]

I googled- ACACIA is a form of golden wattle!

[andrewsmum]

If I had a girl it was going to be Jasmine.

Choosing baby names are so hard!!! Good luck!
