[Opinions] Re: Aster and Calanthe
in reply to a message by Wisteria
Calanthe is the name of a queen on the Netflix show The Witcher who is more at home on the battlefield than in a ballroom, so right now when I hear that name I picture a total bada$$. Callie is also a cute nickname.
Can't say I'm a fan of Aster, though. It appears (to me) like some bizarre misspelling of Astor (which I'm familiar with as a surname) and Esther. I much prefer Arista, if we're keeping the "star" theme of the name.
As far as floral names I like...
Iris
Verveine / Verbena
Juniper
Willow
Yasmine / Jasmine
Zinnia
Viola / Violet
Lilia / Lily
Hazel
Rose / Rosalie
Genista
Marguerite (though I'm not a fan of Daisy)
Saffron (but not Crocus!)
Sigalit
Henna
Zaynab
Amaryllis
Elanor (it's a flower name in Lord of the Rings)
Nasrin
Neroli
Flor
A few of those names are flowering shrubs and trees.
