Chrysanthemum

I went to the book store today and picked up this lovely story off of the shelf.

It reminded me of this site and of the many berries who support unique and beautiful names for the babies of the world.

A great story to share with any little one:

[name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] by [name_m]Kevin[/name_m] Henkes

Yes yes yes!!! I love this name and the book is sweet. We have it.

I wish someone would use [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f]. It’s on our top 10 (hubby loves it because of its significance in Japan as he part Japanese and spent most of his childhood with his full Japanese grandmother).

[name_m]Kevin[/name_m] Henkes has several great books and [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] is one of my favorites! I think its my dual love for the flower (see my avatar?!) and names. :smiley:

I like quite a few flower names but [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] is a bit extreme in length. I prefer the similar [name_f]Christabel[/name_f].

[name_f]Crisanta[/name_f] and Chrysanthe seem usable length.

I quite like them. I probably wouldn’t use them though because people would think I was putting a spin on [name_f]Christine[/name_f]/[name_m]Christian[/name_m].
