Great list, I love so many of these (obviously Primrose is my favourite girls name ❤️) they’re just not guilty pleasures for me - Robin, Pearl, Rosemary, Rose, Fern, Iris, Jasper, Joy, Hope, Juniper, Lark, Marigold, Holly, Hazel, Verity, Wren, and of course Primrose. I’d use all of these in real life! 😂

Well, I will list names that are actually guilty pleasures, and not names that I think are generally accepted (i.e., Ivy, Autumn, etc. is technically a noun, but it is generally accepted as a first name): Amethyst, Dove, Winter, Lyric, Trinity, SerenityFrom your list, I like: Indigo, Meadow, River, Story, Phoenix, and Sage. I personally know a Sage, Ginger, Phoenix, Sailor, Charity, and Lyric (I've actually interacted with many Lyrics working in social services! Probably more Lyrics than Olivias).

I love Sailor / Saylor, Echo, and Raven in particular.I must confess to genuinely liking Bliss, Amity, Clemency, River, Sage, and Piper, not just as GPs.Others from your list:
Charity, Coco, Ginger, Indigo, Lyric, Meadow, Merry, Sparrow, Blaze, Peregrine, Halo, Hero, Story, Phoenix, WolfI've always thought of Peregrine as a boys name but I overheard a mother calling her little girl Peregrine at the playground the other day.I'll add some of my own if I think of them later.ETA:
What about Evanescent, Fluorescent, and Opalescent? Those are cool.

Darwin's a noun name? I think of it as a surname name. I like it too (as a kinda gp). I don't think of River as a gpFrom yours I love these: Amity, River, Raven
and like these: Ginger, Meadow, Darwin, Phoenix
Halo is a super GP. I think it sounds kinda cool as a name. But reminds me too much of the video game and also the idea of a halo is not namey. It's ... better than Aura though!!Others have listed these that I like: Hart, Merit, Valor, Cherry
Also I like Tarn and Diamond and Ivory and Star and Zephyr.
Fairlight? March (the month). Marsh (full name). Cedar.
Conifer.I think it'd be great fun to name someone Fire.
I think the word Rail has an appealing sound as a name. The G outweighs the P though. Can't quite imagine forgetting the word.Not-GPs that I like (excluding flowers): Dale, Summer, Sienna, Mavis, Penny, Liberty, Laurel, Lark, Griffin, Hunter, Forest, Ember, Emerald, Eden, Drake, Sherry
