[name_m]Hi[/name_m]! I recently got two new little plants and after much deliberation have decided to name them [name_m]Cecil[/name_m] and [name_u]Carmen[/name_u]. Does anyone else name their plants? I’d love to hear your plants names or just names you think would be really cool for plants. [name_u]Future[/name_u] plant baby names I have lined up:
[name_m]Orlando[/name_m] (as in [name_f]Bloom[/name_f], had to be done)
[name_f]Hecate[/name_f] (links my loves of both mythology and Macbeth)
[name_f]Ana[/name_f] (after [name_f]Ana[/name_f] Perrote, huge girl crush)
[name_m]Ferris[/name_m] (like [name_m]Bueller[/name_m])
[name_m]Armando[/name_m]
[name_f]Este[/name_f] (after [name_f]Este[/name_f] [name_m]Haim[/name_m])
I’ve named all my plants based on the pots they are in. I have a succulent in a pot I painted Once Upon a Time named [name_u]Killian[/name_u]. A cactus that says no touchy with a picture of Kuzco named such. One painted with space that says out of this world named [name_f]Andromeda[/name_f]. A string of pearls named [name_m]Cobra[/name_m] because it looks like bubbles and [name_m]Cobra[/name_m] Bubbles in [name_f]Lilo[/name_f] and Stitch. A neon pothos named Legolas which means green leaf. A cactus in a pineapple named pearl from spongebob. A Purple Heart in a Scooby doo pot named [name_f]Daphne[/name_f]. A cactus in a watermelon named [name_m]Marko[/name_m] after a YouTubed I used to watch who likes watermelon and a [name_f]Pink[/name_f] polka dot plant in a pot that says “After the rain comes the rainbow. Sorry I killed your son [name_m]Kylo[/name_m].” Named [name_m]Matthew[/name_m] like [name_m]Matt[/name_m] the radar technician.
I have a bookcase full of succulents. [name_f]My[/name_f] favorite one is [name_m]Calvin[/name_m] which I planted in a hedgehog pot. [name_f]My[/name_f] cat then knocked it over and it broke it’s the only thing he’s ever broken surprisingly. I also have [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] the cactus (from [name_m]Parks[/name_m] and Rec), [name_m]Calix[/name_m] the Split [name_m]Rock[/name_m] succulent, and [name_f]Elsie[/name_f] who’s this pretty flowering plant. I have no idea what it is but it has beautiful, upside down, pink flowers. Those are the only ones I’ve named bc they’re my favorite lol. Nice to know other people do this and I’m not crazy
I have a little plant called [name_f]Mila[/name_f] and I also named lots of sunflowers in my garden.
Their names are [name_m]Samson[/name_m], [name_f]Eilidh[/name_f], [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Lucy[/name_f], [name_m]Paul[/name_m], [name_f]Clodagh[/name_f], [name_m]Seamus[/name_m], [name_m]Jeremy[/name_m], [name_f]Trudie[/name_f], [name_f]Orla[/name_f] and, [name_u]Rory[/name_u]
I hadn’t thought about naming houseplants til last fall when I was helping a club sell some seeds and discovered some people name their plants. I’ll probably name mine the next time I have plants though since I tend to grow my herbs and garden plants from seed, I’ll probably wait til they’re bigger or have at least sprouted and have a good chance at survival
We have two plants, they’re named [name_m]Fergus[/name_m] (named by Partner before we met) and [name_f]Moira[/name_f] (named by me to be in-keeping with the Scottish vibe).
I had a [name_f]Catherine[/name_f]! (because it was a catharanthus roseus plant)
It died a few months ago…
A friend of mine got me two purple flower plants for my birthday, so I’m looking to name those soon. I’m thinking [name_f]Ianthe[/name_f] and [name_f]Ione[/name_f].
In our student house last year we had 3 succulents called [name_f]Susan[/name_f], [name_m]Alfonso[/name_m] and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u]. [name_f]Susan[/name_f] the succulent, [name_m]Alfonso[/name_m] the aloe and [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] after [name_u]Jerry[/name_u] from [name_m]Rick[/name_m] & [name_m]Morty[/name_m] (he kinda sucked). They all died
I also had a cactus called [name_m]Colin[/name_m] in first year, but sadly I forgot to take him home with me in the holidays… Oops.
I name all my plants after characters! It used to be mario/video game characters but then I ran out of names lol. Right now I have [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Peach[/name_f], [name_f]Princess[/name_f] [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], Waluigi, [name_u]Yoshi[/name_u], [name_u]Lucky[/name_u], [name_f]Rosalina[/name_f], [name_f]Blossom[/name_f], Bubbles, [name_f]Buttercup[/name_f], Tweedledum, Tweedledee, [name_u]Kirby[/name_u], [name_f]Princess[/name_f] Bubblegum, [name_u]Finn[/name_u], and [name_m]Jake[/name_m] (RIP to [name_m]Luigi[/name_m], Bowser, Bowser [name_m]Jr[/name_m] and Toad). [name_f]Peach[/name_f] just had 8 babies who I think I’ll name after [name_f]Santa[/name_f]’s reindeer because I like to do sets, but after that it’ll depend on the colour and ~personality~ of the plant that lines up to a character. I love all the names everyone else has come up with!
I’ve currently got a Pickett (because it looks like Pickett from Fantastic Beasts) and a [name_f]Mignonette[/name_f] ‘[name_f]Nettie[/name_f]’. I’ve also had a [name_f]Magali[/name_f] and an [name_m]Emiliano[/name_m], but they both died [name_f]My[/name_f] plant naming style is quite random!
