Thoughts on the name Zinnia

I’m having a very hard time coming up with girl names I like. I would like something uncommon, but not totally out there. I came across the name [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f].

What do you think? I like the possibility of nicknames Zinn and Zinnie. But a name that starts with Z? I’m not sure. I usually prefer names that start with vowels.

Good or bad, let’s have it! :wink:

Suggestions for middle name are welcome too.

I think [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] is a lovely name. It is unexpected, yet normal. Floral yet solid.

I quite like it.

Floral names are all the rage right now, so it definitely fits in.
I am a huge fan of the uncommon flower names like [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], or Betony, [name_f]Amaryllis[/name_f], [name_f]Tansy[/name_f], [name_f]Marigold[/name_f], [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f], [name_f]Dahlia[/name_f], [name_f]Linnea[/name_f] and [name_f]Aster[/name_f].

If those work, [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] definitely does!

I really like [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]. It’s elegant and lively and Zinn/Zinnie make adorable nicknames.

Ooh I like [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]! It’s funny because just last night my OH and I found [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], and we both liked it straightaway. We were looking for an energetic/bubbly and spunky name for our daughter due any day! I like the nn possibilities too: there’s Zinnie of course, but also Zin, Zeezee and [name_f]Nia[/name_f]. Our son is named [name_u]Rex[/name_u] so it fits in really well with his name, which is also high energy!

For middles I love:
[name_f]Beatrix[/name_f]
[name_f]Hazel[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f]
[name_f]Eve[/name_f]

We are seriously considering it now. Good luck!
