I’m not dissing anyone, I am merely pointing the hypocrisy without any intention of offending anyone and I apologise if you felt hurt by my comment

No worries, I wasn’t hurt by it, I was just trying to point out why your comment wasn’t relevant to the topic question of Hydrangea as a real name in comparison to the hypothetical ones of Name of The Day. I hope that explains it! x

Seconding this! I’m a sucker for botanical names so of course I love Hydrangea. It’s an especially beautiful flower - one that represents grace and that I personally associate with gentle British summertime. It’ll raise eyebrows, sure, but those eyebrows would be raised just the same by an Isadora or a Thisbe outside of Nameberry circles. I think we can often forget on here how unusual most NB faves are…

honestly i think it works !! it’s a little out there, but it sounds like a name, and it’s not like it has anything specifically teasable about it. i’m not personally a fan of the sound of hydrangea, but i’d still think it was really cool to meet one. if you like it, go for it!

[name_f]Hydrangea[/name_f] might work… I think. I can see some possible pronunciation issues though, and I can’t think of a nickname I like for it. It would be perfectly usable in the middle name spot.

It’s certainly nms…:: but neither is [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and that seems to be viewed as usable by most.

At most, I’d use it as a middle name. Speaking of uncommon flower names, I also like [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u], [name_f]Lavender[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], and [name_f]Camellia[/name_f].
