In full bloom

In the Southern Hemisphere, spring has well and truly begun! If you're anything like me and my lovely allergies, the hayfever has also kicked in! So to cheer myself up, I thought I was list a few floral-inspired names that are set to be in full bloom this spring.

If you're still unsure about the stereotypical spring name, why not take some inspiration from floral-name advocates, celebrity chef Jamie Oliver and his wife Jooles (Julia)? They have named their daughters Daisy Boo, Poppy Honey, and Petal Blossom Rainbow. Daisy and Poppy are sweet names, but Petal is probably stretching the floral name boundaries, especially with Rainbow as a middle name! I wonder what they would call their possible future sons?

Without further ado, here are some more floral names (obviously best suited for girls)

Acacia
Alyssa - a take on the flower Alyssum
Amarantha - this was a mythical plant meaning immortal, but is now also a real plant.
Azalea
Bluebell - the most famous one is the daughter of former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell.
Bryony
Camelia
Fleur
Flora
Heather
Hyacinth - The Bouquet (Bucket) Residence, lady of the house speaking!
Iris
Ivy
Jacinta
Jasmine
Jonquil
Lavender
Lilac
Lily
Marigold
Petunia
Primrose
Rose
Rosemary - technically a herb, but a name nonetheless!
Tulip
Violet
Yolanda
Zinnia - a bit out there, but it could work!

Popular at the turn of the century, floral names such as these listed are reinventing themselves as a new naming trend. So why not wake up and smell these fresh beauties?!

Love,
