Marigold
What do you think of Marigold? Is it too associated with rubber gloves? What middle names would you use, and what would you call a brother and sister to each?

I only think of the beautiful, vibrant, happy flowers. Siblings names could be Onyx and Patience or maybe Fox and Ruby or Sylvan and Primrose. Combos I like are Marigold Alice, Marigold Esme, Marigold Elsie, Marigold Phoebe, Marigold Zara and Marigold Lucy.

My only association is with Winston Churchill's daughter who died young. Always thought it sweet.
Marigold Frances
Anthony Cillian

It's pretty. I know someone who named their twins Marigold and Evaline. Other sibling names would be Eloise or Theodore.

I love Marigold! It makes me think of the flower, and general brightness, and spring before the gloves (which aren't a big deal imo). I adore Marigold Elsie and Marigold Alice for combos.It's a nice rarely used vintage choice so I'd probably go for Henrietta or Tallulah and Gideon or Isidore for siblings. My slightly gp fave with Marigold is Lavender (I would use them together with other siblings).

I don’t associate it with rubber gloves at all. Anyways, I don’t care that much for the name. But, I can really appreciate its uniqueness. I’d make the combination Marigold Sophie. For a sister, I’d use Abilene Faye. For a brother, I’d use Damian Clark.

I don't like it that much -- it feels too flowery and don't look first name-y to me, but it's interesting to see on a real-life person. I don't know that there's the rubber gloves association with this name. Maybe I would pair it as Marigold Elizabeth. Brother would be Sylvan and sister would be Victoria.

I can't remember who but someone on here was into the combo Oona Marigold for a while. I am unfamiliar with the glove brandI'm basic in a lot of ways, so my instinct would probably be to pair with more nature names. It's the type of theme where there's a lot of options so it's a lot harder to run out of choices for each consecutive child. Marigold, Primrose, Robin (M), Sparrow (M), Emerald, Basil, Linnea, Juniper etc. I also like Marigold, Ambrose & Fiona
