[name_m]Just[/name_m] for fun! Which flower name do you prefer and why?
[name_f]Rose[/name_f]
[name_f]Lily[/name_f]
[name_f]Daisy[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f]
***Extra credit: check out this glorious collection of sibsets from the late 1800s/ early 1900s!!!
I have a real soft spot for [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] because that’s what we call my grandfather.
Also that extra credit was amazing.
If I had to use one to name my own child, it would be [name_f]Lily[/name_f]. But I also like [name_f]Rose[/name_f] and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f].
Rose has been at the top of my list for a long time, but I also love [name_f]Lily[/name_f], [name_f]Daisy[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Violet[/name_f]. I think if I were to use [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] or [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], I would have to keep it as a nickname. [name_u]Love[/name_u] the sibsets!
The only flower names I really like are [name_f]Violet[/name_f], [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] and [name_f]Ivy[/name_f].
Hmm…I love both [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f], but I am leaning towards [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It’s just so classic and elegant, feminine but not frilly. I don’t know. [name_f]Rose[/name_f] is just beautiful. 
(Loved the BBN blog post. Lists like that are so much fun to peruse!)
Daisy is my favourite, [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is my second favourite 
***omg sisters [name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] & [name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f]!! 
Definitely [name_f]Rose[/name_f]! I also quite like [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Lily[/name_f].
My favorite floral name is [name_u]Oleander[/name_u], a little more boyish but it might work on a girl
[name_f]Rose[/name_f] is my favorite of these! I also love [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] and [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] from this list.
Of the flowers you listed [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Rose[/name_f] are my favorites, though I quite like [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] too.
Thank you for sharing that article, possibly my favorite name read ever. 
I find the naturalist movement of the Edwardian period an interesting piece of history and it’s cool to see how that extended into naming trends.
I found the following names especially intriguing:
[name_f]Acacia[/name_f] [name_f]Harriet[/name_f]
[name_f]Alice[/name_f] [name_f]Rhoda[/name_f]
[name_f]Camellia[/name_f] [name_f]Theresa[/name_f] Megri
[name_u]Claude[/name_u] [name_u]Oak[/name_u]
[name_f]Clematis[/name_f] [name_f]Mary[/name_f] [name_f]Claire[/name_f]
[name_u]Elm[/name_u] [name_u]Oliver[/name_u]
[name_m]Felix[/name_m] [name_u]Ruby[/name_u] (not floral but I found it lovely and surprising when I read it)
Gladiolus [name_m]Bernard[/name_m]
[name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m]
[name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_m]Narcissus[/name_m]
[name_f]Lavender[/name_f] [name_f]Mignonette[/name_f]
[name_u]Linden[/name_u] [name_m]Fritz[/name_m] [name_m]Barnabas[/name_m]
[name_f]Marguerite[/name_f] [name_f]Gertrude[/name_f]
[name_f]Mignonette[/name_f] [name_f]Ethel[/name_f]
[name_f]Mignonette[/name_f] [name_f]Verbena[/name_f]
[name_f]Myrtle[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f]
[name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Doretta[/name_f]
[name_f]Primrose[/name_f] [name_f]Henrietta[/name_f]
Rosebud [name_f]Helena[/name_f] [name_f]Esther[/name_f]
[name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f] [name_f]Gladys[/name_f]
[name_f]Una[/name_f] [name_f]Lilian[/name_f]
[name_f]Veronica[/name_f] [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]
[name_f]Violet[/name_f] Lobelia
Out of the list: [name_f]Rose[/name_f], bc it’s a family name. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal favorites are: [name_f]Zinnia[/name_f], [name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f], and [name_f]Azalea[/name_f]
My favorite is [name_f]Rose[/name_f] followed very closely by [name_f]Lily[/name_f] & [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]. [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] also ranks pretty high. On the other hand, I only like [name_f]Violet[/name_f] because it’s a niece’s name.
From the list provided, definitely [name_f]Rose[/name_f]. It’s one of my favorite names of all-time and also one of my favorite flowers.
For extra credit, Rosebud.
Not exactly a flower name specifically but I love [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/Posie 
I like the classic feel and sound of [name_f]Violet[/name_f]
Rose is my favourite, I find it so elegant.
The Victorian sibsets are wonderful! Some of my favourites:
The 6 Oakhill girls featuring eldest [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] [name_f]Eleanor[/name_f] and youngest [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] [name_f]Irene[/name_f].
Twin boys Gladiolus [name_m]Bernard[/name_m] [name_m]Harte[/name_m] and [name_u]Hyacinth[/name_u] [name_m]Joseph[/name_m] [name_m]Harte[/name_m] born in 1899.
youngest daughter in the [name_u]Bird[/name_u] family - [name_f]Azalea[/name_f] [name_f]Ivy[/name_f] [name_m]Narcissus[/name_m], born 1899.
Some of my floral/botanical names which aren’t in use (but may have been, back in the day) are Liatris, Oxalis and Kniphofia.
Lily! It’s so lilting, it makes me think of moonlight shining on rippling water.
Rose is also gorgeous, but I don’t like [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] as a nn, so that’s why [name_f]Lily[/name_f] claims the crown for me. And I’ve always adored [name_f]Violet[/name_f], but I know it’s a bit of a marmite name. 
I’ll add [name_f]Laura[/name_f] & [name_f]Daphne[/name_f] for bay leaf representation!
It’s cool seeing [name_f]Snowdrop[/name_f]
I love the bright, bubbly [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]
