Silly topic, but need help choosing a plant name!

General Name Discussion
1

[name]Hi[/name]! So I posted earlier on someone else’s poll about silly things I’ve named - my plants. I’ve got two house plants: a money tree named [name]Alfie[/name] [name]Theodore[/name] and an [name]African[/name] [name]Violet[/name] named [name]Stella[/name] [name]Josephine[/name]. Those names took a lot of thought, actually!

Anyway, I got a new plant, a [name]Jade[/name] plant. It is very small right now, and I want it to have a name to match the others (I know, very silly…). But, I can’t decide if it is more a boy or a girl! I knew the other two right away, and I’m thinking maybe this one looks a bit like a geeky little boy? Not sure. I want a name that has a two-syllable first name and three-syllable middle name, like [name]Alfie[/name] and [name]Stella[/name]. [name]Both[/name] of those names use classic, but still original, names, and that is what I want for the [name]Jade[/name].

Can somebody help me?

Thanks! For a girl, I was considering [name]Cora[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] or something, and I do really like [name]Archie[/name]! Is it too close to [name]Alfie[/name]? I think so. I just need to figure out if it is a boy or girl plant. Haha!

Plants?! A jade plant sounds like a girl to me so I’ll say [name]Gemma[/name] [name]Lee[/name]

Yup, I told you it was silly!

And, I like [name]Harvey[/name], [name]Chester[/name], and [name]Arthur[/name]. I really like [name]Cora[/name] [name]Beatrix[/name]! Can’t decide boy or girl - are there any unisex classic-type names? Haha!

I was also thinking [name]Ira[/name], [name]Cyrus[/name], or [name]Waldo[/name]…

For unisex plant names with a classic vibe, what about [name]Clancy[/name], which is both a nickname for [name]Clarence[/name] and a name used for girls?

Also, there’s [name]August[/name], [name]Honor[/name] (not unisex, but not frilly, either), [name]Juniper[/name], [name]Juno[/name]…

I hope your plant is doing well and getting along with his/her botanical siblings. :slight_smile:

Take care!

I like [name]Ira[/name] :slight_smile: I was going to suggest [name]Gus[/name] :slight_smile:

Thanks for all the suggestions, guys, and [name]Jill[/name], you are too funny!

I’ve decided it is a girl! I was thinking I might totally change my idea and name it [name]Calliope[/name] [name]Jade[/name], but maybe there is a really good classic girl name combo out there!
