How does [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] sound as a name? It’s my fave flower
I think it’s pretty. I could see a cute little tom girl that goes by “Denny” having this name, or a super girly girl that goes by the full Gardenia (maybe “Denya” as her nickname). It’s unique but familiar and pretty! And versatile too because of all the nickname possibilities

[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] feels gentle and unique and evokes beautiful imagery! G names that also sound feminine are few and far between and this one fits the bill! Also could picture the nicknames [name_f]Dani[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_f]Arden[/name_f], [name_f]Gigi[/name_f]. This photo is literally what pops into my brain when I hear this name!

[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_m]Gar[/name_m] names in general.Garnet, [name_m]Garner[/name_m], [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]. 
[name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] has a pretty fresh floral feel . [name_f]Love[/name_f] 
I like [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] - it’s reminiscent of [name_f]Ginevra[/name_f], [name_f]Cornelia[/name_f], [name_f]Gianna[/name_f], [name_f]Cressida[/name_f], but also very distinctive.
I like the potential nicknames [name_m]Dennie[/name_m], [name_f]Deenie[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f] and [name_f]Edie[/name_f] too
I really like [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f], it sounds so pretty and distinctive!
[name_f]Love[/name_f] [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] 
she’s beautiful and very unique, and has a very rich nickname potential 
LOVE it!
It’s not my taste but I think it absolutely works as a name. [name_m]Can[/name_m] see the nicknames [name_f]Deenie[/name_f] or even [name_f]Gigi[/name_f] working well 
I love [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] a lot! I came across a little girl from [name_m]Brazil[/name_m] named Gardenya a while back and thought it made a lovely name. (Also love the similar feeling Wisteria!). I tend to prefer big flower names like [name_f]Jonquil[/name_f], [name_f]Wisteria[/name_f], [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f], etc., as middles, but I do love [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] a lot and she has some nice nn options (Gigi, [name_f]Gia[/name_f], [name_f]Nia[/name_f], [name_m]Dennie[/name_m], [name_f]Dia[/name_f], [name_m]Ari[/name_m], [name_f]Arden[/name_f], etc.!). I think something like [name_f]Eve[/name_f] [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] or [name_f]Claire[/name_f] [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] would be stunning… but something like [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f] [name_f]Eloise[/name_f] is beautiful, as well!
Good luck!
I actually know a young woman named [name_f]Gardenia[/name_f]! So I think it definitely works as a name.
It might raise some eyebrows but I’d consider it completely usable. And I love the many nickname options.
