I actually don’t mind [name_f]Spring[/name_f] as a middle name, but when I think of [name_f]Spring[/name_f], here are some names that I come up with:

[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]/[name_f]Rosemary[/name_f]
[name_f]Anastasia[/name_f] (Resurrection)
[name_f]Persephone[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
[name_f]Aurora[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f]
[name_f]Willow[/name_f]
[name_f]Rainbow[/name_f] (GP!)
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]

I like:

[name_f]Flora[/name_f]
[name_f]Lillian[/name_f]
[name_u]June[/name_u]
[name_f]Daphne[/name_f]
[name_f]Iris[/name_f]

UniqueNameLover’s suggestions were great.

[name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Azalea[/name_f], [name_f]Lilac[/name_f], and [name_f]Jonquil[/name_f] are probably my favourites of these for feeling like spring.

I love [name_f]Lily[/name_f], but not as a nickname for [name_f]Lilac[/name_f]. And lilies don’t feel as spring to me as a lot of these other flowers, I guess because a lot of the kinds I like bloom in late summer? I’d probably only use [name_f]Lilac[/name_f] as a middle name though, because it feels so sweet and pastel.

I miss the pink spring magnolias, so I nominate [name_f]Magnolia[/name_f].

[name_f]Aviva[/name_f] is a name that means ‘spring,’ I’ve always liked it.

[name_f]Cerise[/name_f] means ‘cherry’ and the cherry blossoms are an amazing part of spring. I don’t really like [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f] (as a name, love the flower) but I like [name_f]Jacinta[/name_f].

I like [name_u]Rain[/name_u], actually. Makes me think of fresh spring rain bringing everything back to life.

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] is gorgeous. I used to feel fairly neutral about it but it really is so beautifully exotic, and definitely a perfect spring name.

I chose [name_f]Hyacinth[/name_f], [name_f]Lillian[/name_f], and [name_f]Iris[/name_f].

I also love:
[name_f]Jade[/name_f]
[name_u]Oakley[/name_u] although this is more autumn/fall
[name_f]Rosemarie[/name_f]
[name_u]Juniper[/name_u]
[name_f]Fern[/name_f]
[name_f]Meadow[/name_f] …though not related to a specific plant
[name_f]Zinnia[/name_f]

[name_f]Azalea[/name_f] is so much fresher than [name_f]Ava[/name_f] and the other A names it sounds like.

I also love [name_f]Meadow[/name_f] and [name_f]Lark[/name_f].

like [name_u]June[/name_u] [name_f]July[/name_f] [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f] [name_f]Marigold[/name_f] and Nasturtium.

[name_f]Camellia[/name_f]
[name_f]Pansy[/name_f]
[name_f]Daffodil[/name_f]
[name_f]Tulip[/name_f]
[name_f]Magnolia[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f]

My favs are [name_f]Iris[/name_f], [name_f]Daffodil[/name_f], and [name_f]Flora[/name_f]. I think [name_u]Daffy[/name_u] would be the cutest nn in the world if it weren’t for a certain duck.

[name_m]How[/name_m] could I forget [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Pansy[/name_f]. [name_f]Love[/name_f] these. And [name_f]Tulip[/name_f] too despite its odd sound.

Are there any spring names for males, do you think? [name_m]Springer[/name_m]…

[name_m]Pascal[/name_m] would be an obvious male “spring” name.
