My mother and I disagree... this was on the list for my 2nd daughter. What does the flower look like? Pansy is not a choice for us, too obvious for teasing. I won't even use Lily for that reason! Tansy is kind of cute, I don't know that flower either. And somebody mentioned Alyssa, that is my neighbor girls name and I love it, I had not thought of it being a flower! Dahlia is growing on me... more opinions?Thanks, Nicci

This is my English teachers name. She pronounces it lih-NAY-ah. If you want to name your daughter a flower name then how about: Iris, Peony (pay-oh-nee), Daisy, Calla (as in calla lily), Freesia, Rose, Lavender, Jasmine. Thats all I can think of right now, but I hope this helps some. Good luck!~Arie~

Oh! I actually know a girl with this name! She was a senior when I was a freshman - very good singer. Anyway, she said it 'lin-ay-ah' I had a fascination with it for a while because she's the only person I've ever known with that name and it's the only time I've ever heard the name :)Dahlia - No! Have you not heard of the Black Dahlia?If you're into flower names, here are some other flower/plant names:Ianthe / Evanthe / Evanthia

AKINA: Female Japanese name meaning "spring flower."
Dahlia
Alyssa
Flora
HANA: Female Japanese name meaning "flower blossom."
Jasmine
Laleh
Leilani

li-NAY-uhIt's a small purple flower. Do a google search on "linnea flower" and you'll pull up some photos of it.

BTW, this is in regard to Ingrid Violette and Megan Rose gaining a sister this May. Probably Greta, then a flower mn? Greta Laurel is the front-runner today!Thanks, Nicci

Lynn-EE-Uh, which reminds me of a bone on our bodies, in the Tibia[ upper leg bone] called the Linea Aspara.
