Hello Berries!
Despite not having many on my ‘real life’ list, I have so many flower name GPs 
What are your favourite(s) and why?
P.S. I’ve also been looking out for boy flower names…any suggestions?
[name_f]My[/name_f] favorite would have to be [name_f]Freesia[/name_f]. It’s just so spirited and happy. I like the idea of [name_f]Fifi[/name_f] or [name_f]Sia[/name_f] as NN’s.
For boys, a GP of mine is [name_f]Dandelion[/name_f]. With the familiar [name_m]Dan[/name_m] and strong [name_m]Lion[/name_m] I see it as very masculine. But like I said, total GP as I think it would be hard to wear.
Some nature names I’d say fit more into the “single syllable middle name” trend are;
Roots (like [name_m]Brooks[/name_m], [name_m]Wells[/name_m] and Banks)
Stem (Petal for feminine, Stem for masculine)
Sprig (if [name_m]Leaf[/name_m] is rising, why not Sprig?)
[name_f]Bloom[/name_f] (Blossom is known for girls, why not [name_f]Bloom[/name_f] for boys?)

@Thelovelytri I love the idea of [name_f]Dandelion[/name_f] for a boy! Can definitely see the masculine vibes.
I know Sprigg is a last name…that might get on board before the Sprig spelling 
Roots and Stem might be a little longer catching on, but they definitely fit in with the vibe! 
I absolutely love [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f] and [name_f]Dandelion[/name_f] for girls. And I think my gp flower names for girls would be [name_f]Morning[/name_f] [name_f]Glory[/name_f] - which I think could work for a boy as well.
And for boys I really like [name_f]Rose[/name_f], something about it gives me a soft, yet strong vibes from it. I also like the idea of [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] for a boy as well.

@shanade213 I adore [name_m]Moss[/name_m]!
So many options I’d never thought of before…thank you!
my absolute favorites are rose and florestan, girl and boy respectively <3
rose is so timeless and lovely, and florestan is so unexpected for a boy but i really love it! florian also comes to mind for something similar, but i really don’t love any more for boys 
my other loves for girls are posy, fleur(a), lily (though i prefer lillie or lilly), and i’m recently enjoying tansy and bluebell (as a gp)
if i go into very dramatic, guilty pleasure mode then i fancy nightshade as a melodramatic middle name

Some of my favourites are [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Viola[/name_f] (as vee-OH-luh; huge crush atm), [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], and [name_f]Calluna[/name_f]. All of which I think sound beautiful, and are unusual, but familiar. And I obviously love purple and yellow 
. I also love [name_f]Margo[/name_f], [name_f]Enna[/name_f], and Via/V as nns for the first three.
For boys I only really have [name_m]Hemlock[/name_m], which is a gp. Also [name_m]Sorrel[/name_m] and [name_f]Sage[/name_f], but I don’t think they count for flowers.

[name_f]My[/name_f] favourites are:
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]: love the sweet, sparkly sound, the bright yellow feel and the cool meaning!
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]: warm, bright and cosy but with flair too!
[name_f]Lilium[/name_f]: [name_f]Lily[/name_f] is pretty and I like the vintage charm of [name_f]Lillian[/name_f] but [name_f]Lilium[/name_f] just has extra sparkle and an unexpected end sound
[name_f]Picotee[/name_f]: so fun to say, literary and bouncy and I like flowers that can be described as picotees.
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]: distinctive and interesting sound and very sparkly
[name_f]Celandine[/name_f]: magical, sleek and pretty, strong but sweet
[name_f]Aloe[/name_f]: gentle and calming, a bit like [name_m]Arlo[/name_m] and [name_f]Marlowe[/name_f] too
