Help[Opinions] Re: Flower Names
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
Violet is beautiful, I really love it.
Rose is classic, and interesting in a plain and simple way as a first name in this day and age. It's so boring as a MN though.
Lily... I really dislike.
Lilac is really lovely and a bit GP, I could never really see myself using it but it's neat.
Lavender...nah. I also hate the smell, so...
I dislike Jasmine.
Amaryllis is cool and a bit extra, I like it.
Marigold...nah, on a pet, maybe, not a kid.
Iris is beautiful, love it.
Orchid is neat, don't think it's very useable though.
Never heard of Winika, not a fan, it makes me think of wrinkles.
Wisteria is very unique, but I just don't like it.
Azalea is...okayish.
Dahlia is classy, dressed in high-necked black, WASPish. It's an aesthetic.
Lotus is cool but makes me think of brand names.
Blossom is a pet or cow name, or a pet-name, not a name. A little bit cringe as a given name.
Indigo...not a fan. These days it's either self-aware hipster or chronically un-self-aware.
Hyacinth is unattractive and dated.
Sorry, I think Jonquil looks and sounds ugly. Every so often I try to make myself like Jonquil and ultimately have to accept I really do not like it at all.
Chrysanthemum is clunky, weird and neat. I have a couple of family members/ancestors who used it as a name, one as a literal translation of her name, one as the nearest English translation based on generic meaning / sound, and one who was born named Chrysanthemum in honour of one of the former two and goes by Chrys. It's almost a family name at this point, and it's so rare in the UK that people do comment on the fact that I have 3+ Chrysanthemums in my family, or even just one. I would totally use it as a MN.
Delphinium is cool but doesn't sound like a person name.
I love Ianthe, Iolanthe, very pretty.
I also like Ivy, Anemone, Celandine, Laurel.
