Helianthus

What do you think of a Helianthus? I came across it just now when looking for sunflowers for a friend’s birthday, and thought it might be a pretty name. I also thought it might work for a boy too?

I really love it! It sounds more masculine to me, so I would prefer to see it on a boy, but I really like it!

It sounds much more boy-ish to me because of the -us ending! Plus, it could be a very creative way to get to the nickname [name_u]Elias[/name_u].

It reminds me of [name_m]Helio[/name_m] which I like.
I don’t mind it, it’s a very grand sounding name.

Helianthus is one of my guilty pleasure boy names

I’d definitely think boy if I saw this as a name. It reminds me of Hyacinthus. Very brave and probably a bit “much”, but a great name!
