So I realised there is tons of girls names that are flowers etc. [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Pansy[/name_f].
But the only guy one I can think of is [name_f]Iris[/name_f] at the top of my head.
So I was wondering if anyone else had any baby boy flower names?
[name_m]Narcissus[/name_m] (don’t recommend it though)
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]?
These are the ones that seem masculine to me, not really name-y though:
Dogwood
Cosmos
Redbud
[name_m]Heath[/name_m]
[name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m]
[name_m]Jack[/name_m] (in the pulpit)
Larkspur - Kind of sounds like [name_m]Jasper[/name_m] to me.
Astor - It’s kind of unisex in my mind because I think of [name_m]John[/name_m] [name_m]Jacob[/name_m] Astor.
[name_m]Jacob[/name_m] ([name_m]Jacob[/name_m]'s ladder)
Patridge (Pea)
[name_u]Flame[/name_u] (of the forest)
Musas
[name_f]Aster[/name_f] could work I suppose, for it’s similarity to Astor. Perhaps [name_m]Fox[/name_m] in reference to the foxglove? [name_f]Saffron[/name_f] isn’t overly feminine and might work in the middle. [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u] is a Caribbean flower I do believe - it’s kind of cool. [name_m]William[/name_m] for the Sweet William flower. The [name_m]Eric[/name_m] [name_m]John[/name_m] is also a flower. Rover, after the Red Rover? [name_m]Reagan[/name_m] for the Salmon Reagan? [name_m]Watson[/name_m], similar to the Watsonia flower.
Also, there are a few boys names that have floral meanings: [name_u]Florian[/name_u], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], [name_m]Anthony[/name_m]/[name_m]Antonio[/name_m], [name_m]Jarred[/name_m]…
What about names that aren’t exactly floral, but rather botanical: [name_m]Thorn[/name_m], [name_u]Rowan[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_f]Cypress[/name_f], [name_u]Elm[/name_u], [name_u]Cedar[/name_u], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], Alder…?
Why would you want to?
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Forrest[/name_m]
Perhaps because she likes flowers…?
Here is a list of names of roses: http://www.britishbabynames.com/blog/2013/06/names-of-roses.html
I think these could (theoretically) work on a boy:
[name_f]Amethyst[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Holly[/name_f]
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Jonquil[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Olive[/name_f]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
I think [name_u]Florian[/name_u] is the only good option, really, unless you are willing to go beyond actual flowers and into trees/herbs/etc. There are plenty of ‘plant-related’ names for boys, but I think flowers are mostly reserved for girls in English. As PP mentioned, there are also some flowers that have masculine names, e.g. sweet william, herb robert but I wouldn’t say that makes [name_m]William[/name_m] and [name_m]Robert[/name_m] ‘flower names’.
Some exotic ones:
[name_u]Ren[/name_u] (Japanese for “water lily”)
[name_m]Rajiv[/name_m] (Hindi, “lotus flower”)
[name_u]Zahir[/name_u] (Arabic "shining, blossoming)
[name_m]Vartan[/name_m] (Armenian, “giver of roses”)
[name_m]Jacek[/name_m] (Polish, “hyacinth”)
Thales (Greek, “flower”)
Fu (Chinese, “lotus”)
Celwyn (Welsh, “holly”)
Chrysanthos (Greek “golden flower”)
[name_f]Shoshan[/name_f] (Hebrew, unisex, “lily”)
[name_m]Vered[/name_m] (Hebrew, unisex, “rose”)
For English names, [name_f]Hedley[/name_f], [name_u]Hadley[/name_u] and [name_u]Sheldon[/name_u] refer to “fields of heather”.
I kind of like Latin male variations on the girl’s name “[name_f]Flora[/name_f]”, like [name_m]Florin[/name_m] or [name_u]Florian[/name_u].
Nothing wrong with a floral name on a boy at all.
I wouldn’t use [name_f]Iris[/name_f] on a boy, personally, but the following tree/flower names are a bit more masculine;
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]
[name_u]Aspen[/name_u]
Alder
[name_u]Cedar[/name_u]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u]
Oleander
[name_u]Rowan[/name_u]
[name_u]Sequoia[/name_u]
[name_m]Basil[/name_m]
[name_m]Kale[/name_m]
[name_u]Sage[/name_u]
[name_u]Yarrow[/name_u]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Garland[/name_f]
[name_u]Gardener[/name_u]/[name_u]Gardner[/name_u]
There are lots of flower/plant names suitable for boys
[name_m]Valerian[/name_m]
[name_u]Zephyr[/name_u]- zephyranthes also called zephyr lilies
[name_f]Saffron[/name_f]

[name_f]Orchid[/name_f]
[name_u]Hollis[/name_u]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Clover[/name_f]/[name_u]Clove[/name_u]
[name_u]Sorrel[/name_u]
Oleander
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Aster[/name_f], [name_u]Juniper[/name_u], Larkspur, [name_m]Japhet[/name_m], [name_u]Ren[/name_u], [name_u]Quince[/name_u], Stephanotis, Viburnum, Bergamot, Carnation, Foxglove, Gladiolus, [name_f]Lilium[/name_f], Hyacinthus, Myosotis, Alpinum (Leontopodium alpinum), Bellis (Bellis perennis), [name_f]Sakura[/name_f], Callistemon, Strelitzia, Monarda (Monarda didyma), Amaranthus, Nelumbo, [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], Helianthus (Helianthus annuus), Acanthus, Arum, Aloe, [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], Ronce, [name_m]Balsam[/name_m], Epine (Epine noir / black thorn), Rubus, Celsie (Celsie à crete / Great Flowered Celsia), Cerasus, Vitex, Ancolie, Dittany, [name_u]Fennel[/name_u], [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u], Fenouil, Filix, Flax, Sapin, [name_m]Vitis[/name_m], Gazon, Helenium, Adoxa, [name_f]Jonquil[/name_f], Larix, [name_m]Laurus[/name_m], Garance, Acer, Alyssum, Mirabilis, Armoise, Myrtus, Mezereon, Ortie, Florum, [name_m]Olivier[/name_m], [name_m]Osmonde[/name_m], Aurantium, Apium, Persil, [name_u]Clove[/name_u], [name_m]Adonis[/name_m], Menthe, Adonide, Platanus, Papaver, Pavot, Arundo, [name_u]Reed[/name_u], [name_u]Rue[/name_u], [name_m]Moss[/name_m], Ononis, Limonium, Philadelphus, Ivraie, Thymus, Tigridie, Balsamine, Carduus, Héliotrope / Heliotrope, Heliotropium, Verain, [name_m]Valerian[/name_m], Yew, [name_u]Yarrow[/name_u], Zephyranth, [name_m]Salix[/name_m] ([name_m]Salix[/name_m] babylonica / weeping willow), Saule (Saule pleureur / weeping willow), Nélumbo, Alisier.
Here is my take…
[name_m]Heath[/name_m], Gourd, Calatheas, Koutruk, Didiscus, Privet, Allium, Blackthorn, [name_m]Hawthorn[/name_m], Larkspur
The first thing that comes to my mind is Thistle 
Tree- [name_u]Cedar[/name_u], [name_u]Elm[/name_u], Alder, [name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], [name_u]Oak[/name_u]
[name_f]Flower[/name_f]- Monkshood, Aconite, [name_f]Thyme[/name_f], Rosin for Rosinweed, [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_u]Sorrel[/name_u]
Other naturey names associated with flowers - [name_m]Hawthorne[/name_m], [name_m]Thorn[/name_m]/[name_m]Thorne[/name_m], Nettle, [name_m]Barley[/name_m]
Some more animal themed but still connected to flowers: [name_m]Fox[/name_m] for Foxglove or [name_m]Wolf[/name_m] for Wolfsbane
[name_m]Heath[/name_m] or [name_f]Briar[/name_f] are good bets. If you want to get creative with flower names that aren’t used as girl names, maybe
Trefoil
Sumac
Mint
[name_f]Cypress[/name_f]
[name_u]Yarrow[/name_u]
Trillium
[name_u]Sage[/name_u] and [name_m]Basil[/name_m] came to mind.
I like scientific names of plants, my user name for example is a flower related to irises. (I also like Romneya) my daughter is named [name_f]Lilian[/name_f] and we call her [name_m]Ian[/name_m] so the name u pick could be the floral and a more obvious boy nn. Also keep in mind that most fruit barring trees start as flowers so [name_u]Lindon[/name_u] (lime) and such would work. Rhode, [name_m]Westin[/name_m], [name_m]Hart[/name_m], [name_m]Hamlin[/name_m], [name_f]Valencia[/name_f] are all types of oranges. More traditional would be [name_m]Oliver[/name_m], [name_m]Basil[/name_m], Linnaeus, [name_u]Aspen[/name_u], clover, juniper, [name_u]Hollis[/name_u].

I’ve heard of a boy called Dutch for Dutch [name_f]Iris[/name_f] but never [name_f]Iris[/name_f]. Personally, I see [name_f]Iris[/name_f] as a feminine name.
Gentian
[name_m]Branwell[/name_m]
[name_m]Phyllon[/name_m] (leaf)
Maybe not flowers, but plants/trees -[name_u]Ash[/name_u], [name_f]Willow[/name_f], [name_u]Cedar[/name_u],
Aloes
[name_f]Jasmin[/name_f]
