What Flower Names Are Used For Baby Names?
Flower names for girls: The birth of a new baby is cause for celebration and provides the perfect excuse to spoil a new mum by sending some lovely flowers – but you’d better think carefully about what you send her, as they may well end up as inspiration for the new arrival’s name! For little girls in particular, there is a long history of taking the names of flowers and using them as pretty forenames. Whilst, Hyacinth, Primrose and Marigold may not be topping the popularity charts this year, they have all had a place in the past. Our most beloved Rose has only just slipped out of the top 100 most popular names for girls and in 2008, almost 1,000 little girls were registered with Rose as their forename. Floral names of course, are often associated with their flower counterpart, which is known and loved for special beauty, delicacy or fragrance, so their use in the naming of a child is bound to make parents reflect on these tender associations, whether consciously or unconsciously.
