[Opinions] Re: Why are Violet, Iris, Daisy and Rose traditionally used as girl’s names but Tulip, Peony, Marigold and Orchid aren’t?

I don't know if this has any bearing on things, but I know that in Victorian flower language marigolds mean "disdain" or "jealousy". So maybe they weren't seen as a nice flower to be named after?
