[Opinions] Re: Flower Names
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Ever since I discovered the name Calanthe always sounded so pretty so me. The meaning and flower is wonderful itself. Calanthe Maris is my favorite combo. Gorgeous.

Dahlia is also a wonderful name I would like to see used more. When I see I literally think of a dahlias in a beautiful valley.

Amaryllis is awesome all around honestly. Even the meaning is cool. It would really fit a girl who likes to go against the grain and isn’t afraid to be different. Those are the vibes Amaryllis gives me.

Rose is slightly overused. But so classy, glamorous, and beautiful as a first name. It’s just so sweet and romantic without being too sweet and romantic.
Calytrix is definitely a name I would like to see used on somebody someday. It gives me visuals of a warrior Princess. It’s almost TOO cool for a child.
Blossom reminds me of the 90s show and Powerpuff girls. It’s cool honestly, but probably best suited as a middle name. Aster is cool as well. But I only like it for a girl. I don’t even see it as unisex and I don’t see how one can. Marigold is beautiful and so is the flower.
The Jasmine scent is beautiful. Gorgeous name. Lavender would be very refreshing to see on a girl. Orchid also has MAD potential, definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. Hortensia deserves more love.
Lotus is also really cool. But for some reason it strikes me as masculine? I don’t even know why.
I’m with you on Daisy. It LOOKS nice but it doesn’t really sound it. Way too cutesy for my liking. Iris is also a floral name I’m trying to like. The ‘r’ just sounds annoyingly harsh whenever I say to in my head though. Oh, and with Poppy: I can appreciate the flower but I can’t imagine it on a girl past age 10.
