[name_m]Hi[/name_m] berries,
I am trying to compile a list of offbeat flowers/floral names that could have potential as a name for a girl (especially as a middle)
So far I have:
Alyssum
Celandine
Celosia
Linaria
Phlox
Feedback and suggestions very welcome! 
Linaria, Celandrine and Celosia are lovely!!
[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]
Lunaria
Lobelia
[name_f]Salvia[/name_f]
I quite like Celandine.
My favourite offbeat flower name is definitely [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].
I actually know a Lobelia! Suits her perfectly and have known her so long I forget it’s a ‘not a name’ name!
I love [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f] and [name_f]Marigold[/name_f]!!
Calluna is the one I think of
Leuca is a species of flower/plant I think and is a nice (and possibly feminine) alternative to [name_u]Luca[/name_u].
Not sure if this counts, but my favorite underused plant name is Amaranth. I love the meaning (one that doesn’t wither)
Amaranth and [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] are my two favorite uncommon flower names.
My favorites, with varying degrees of obscurity:
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]
[name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
Celandine
Betony
[name_f]Tansy[/name_f]
[name_f]Marigold[/name_f]
Larkspur
Other ideas:
Belladonna
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f]
Hollyhock
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]
[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]
Scilla
Lupine
[name_f]Aster[/name_f]
[name_f]Camellia[/name_f]
[name_f]Buttercup[/name_f]
[name_f]Chloris[/name_f]
[name_f]Bluebell[/name_f]
[name_f]Jacinta[/name_f]
[name_f]Begonia[/name_f]
[name_f]Lotus[/name_f]
[name_f]Verbena[/name_f]
Mossrose
Corolla
Edelweiss
Thanks everyone for the great suggestions, I particularly liked:
Lunaria
Lobelia
Calluna
[name_f]Verbena[/name_f]
Amaranth
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]
My daughter’s middle name is [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], and I am trying to come up with ideas should she ever get a little sister (probably should have mentioned that in the original post, haha)
my all time favorite off beat flower name is Xanthocera, it feels like a lot but I just adore it. There’s also [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] or Odora ([name_f]Daphne[/name_f] odora, or I personally might smoosh it together, but that’s just me) Sorry for any repeats but there’s also:
[name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f]
[name_f]Tulip[/name_f]
Hydrangea
Gladiolus (i can’t tell if I like it don’t like this one, it’s just so intriguing to me…)
[name_f]Dahlia[/name_f]
Rosemallow
Larkspur
[name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f] (love this one)
[name_f]Roselle[/name_f]
and then there are ones that are species or flower terms (Uniflora, Tazetta, etc.) That can be cool too! (:
Cleome
Dandelion
Larkspur
Althaea
Edelweiss
Amaranth
[name_f]Linnaea[/name_f]
[name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f]
Dionysia
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f]
Banksia
Anthemis
Vivendel
Cardamine
Wildflower
[name_f]Antheia[/name_f]
Elestren “iris”
Vinca “periwinkle”
[name_f]Ianthe[/name_f]
Kielo “lily of the valley”
Chrysanthe
Endzela “snowdrop”
[name_f]Tulsi[/name_f] “basil”
Wow, more great suggestions!
These ones struck me the most -
Xanthocera - yes it is a lot but sounds lovely, and I googled it and it is such a pretty little flower!
Vivendel - this is stunning! I love how it would have great nickname options too.
Chrysanthe - Beautiful and feels more usable than [name_f]Chrysanthemum[/name_f]
[name_f]Ixora[/name_f] - Spunky and sweet

Phlox? People might thinks it’s Flocks if they didn’t see the spelling. Especially at Starbucks. It’s also a little to close to Fu@%s…a big, gigantic no-no.
[name_f]Calanthe[/name_f]
[name_f]Calla[/name_f]
[name_f]Artemisia[/name_f]
Betony
Gloriosa
