I like [name_u]Sage[/name_u] for a girl.

3

[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] is my favorite as a first, but I adore [name_f]Verbena[/name_f] in the middle spot! Also have a soft spot for Ararminta/[name_f]Minty[/name_f] - it’s not quite my style, but I would be thrilled to meet a little girl with the name.

I adore [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f], am fond of [name_f]Cicely[/name_f], and I feel [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] is very underrated. I like [name_f]Araminta[/name_f] but wouldn’t use Mint/[name_f]Minty[/name_f] alone. I forgot to check the box for [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f] but really should have.

I’d add [name_u]Rue[/name_u] (aka herb-of-grace, how adorable), [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f]. I also like Clover, Nigella, and Angelica.

Peppermint is a guilty pleasure but not one I’d really use. I’ve known girls named [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f] and it’s kind of cool but not really me. [name_u]Pepper[/name_u] as a NN for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], I would use.

I love [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Laurel[/name_f].

6

My favorite from your list is [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f].

7

Another [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] lover here, followed by [name_f]Verbena[/name_f] and [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]. Also, what about [name_f]Ginger[/name_f] or [name_u]Clove[/name_u]? Although, I guess technically these are spices and not herbs.

8

[name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]. But not because of the plant…

I like Mynte, Nellike, Paprika, Papaja and Røllike as well - all Danish herbal names.

9

[name_f]LOVE[/name_f] [name_f]Aminta[/name_f], [name_f]Araminta[/name_f], and [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] (prn. Cah-shuh; don’t like cass-ee-ah as much). [name_u]Sage[/name_u] makes a great mn.

10

for a girl, as a nickname or alternate name for [name_f]Virginia[/name_f]. And I love [name_u]Clove[/name_u], as short name for [name_m]Clovis[/name_m].

11

I like several herb names and most I consider unisex. The ones I only like for girls:

[name_f]Araminta[/name_f]
[name_f]Verbena[/name_f]
[name_f]Anise[/name_f]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
[name_u]Clove[/name_u]

12

It’s a spice not an herb but if I had a red headed girl (and our family has many) I’d name her [name_f]Cayenne[/name_f].

13

[name_f]Cicely[/name_f] is best [name_f]IMO[/name_f], but I still love [name_f]Artemisia[/name_f], [name_f]Cassia[/name_f], and [name_f]Tansy[/name_f]. I would add [name_u]Rue[/name_u], [name_u]Sage[/name_u], [name_f]Cinnamon[/name_f], [name_f]Laurel[/name_f], [name_f]Saffron[/name_f], [name_u]Pepper[/name_u]…

14

I love [name_f]Rosemary[/name_f] and [name_f]Tansy[/name_f] just as they are. I also like [name_f]Cassia[/name_f] and [name_f]Cicely[/name_f], though I prefer the similar [name_f]Kasia[/name_f] and [name_f]Cecily[/name_f]. [name_f]Verbena[/name_f] also is quite nice. :slight_smile:

15

[name_f]Marjory[/name_f] made me think of Marjolein or Marjolijn (mar-yo-line) a Dutch herb name.

Rozemarijn - row-zuh-mah-rine

And for boys:

Thijmen - time-uhn
