My neice is named Lotus. At first I wasn't sure about it, but she's very active and it just seems to fit.

I never really thought about Lotus as a fn. Surprisingly, I kind of like it. :-)

Lotus Elena is gorgeous. I'd avoid any mn that was also a noun, especially a botanical one. How about:

Lotus Aurelia
Lotus Sylvie (= a forest of lotuses?)
Lotus Mirabel

Lotus Anastasia
Lotus Melisande
Lotus Dominique
Lotus Noe"l
Lotus Thalia
Lotus Theodora

Hmmm. It's amazingly versatile. Let me know what you think.

I like the idea of Lotus. I think it would work on the right person. It's quite hippy sounding, not just as a botanical name but with its connections to new-age adopted stuff like buddhism, yoga etc.

Lotus Elizabeth (I usually loathe Elizabeth as a mn, but I like this one.)
Lotus Catherine
Lotus Selena
Lotus Julianna
Lotus Cecilia
Lotus Claire
Lotus Delphine

I LOVE Lotus, im having a hard time finding a MN

n/t
"There is none Holy like The Lord, there is none besides Thee; there is no Rock like our God." (1 Samuel 2:2 RSV)

Lotus Ara
Lotus Ava
Lotus Edana
Lotus Irealia
Lotus Irene (eye-REE-nee)

i would consider lotus for a mn only.

Lotus is an ok name for a girl I think. I actually like it on a boy (although I wouldn't name my son Lotus, I would name a male character that way).

From your list I really like
Lotus Elena
Lotus Juliet

I don't like it. Sorry. It reminds me of the plant / the episode about the plant in The Odyssey / the poem about the episode in the Odyssey about the plant. That's slightly confusing, so suffice to say that I don't like it and its connotations.
