Since spotting it in one of your polls I’ve fallen in love with it. I think it’s beautiful! I do have a weak spot for flower/plant names but it’s the first time I’ve come across Wisteria. It reminds me of a children’s book character. Especially in combination with the name Eloise.

---

My favorite is Wisteria Therese (exotic, romantic)

---

I also like Wisteria Maud (vintage) and Wisteria Sophie (bringing it to this century)

---

I really don’t like Wisteria Colombe (masculine, surname?), and I’d replace Colombe for it’s meaning (if I remember correctly); Wisteria Dove

Ooh, I love. There is something gently, deliciously witchy about Wisteria. Like an ethereal old woman who lives deep in the woods in a beautiful cottage, surrounded by sighing trees at all times.

Wisteria Daphne strikes my fancy because it puts me in mind of Daphne du Maurier's Rebecca - the mysterious moody atmosphere of Manderley. Wisteria Rebecca is no good though. I wish we knew what the narrator's name was, I feel like that would be a good pairing for Wisteria, on a name-soul level. I remember the first time I read Rebecca, in my youthful mind I immediately thought "I bet her name is ancient Greek, starting with a P" so maybe I'd pair Wisteria with something like that.

---

Wisteria Nimue is also a DELIGHT, augh.

---

And I can't say no to Wisteria Sibyl.

---

Just for fun, some Greek P-names with Wisteria :)

Sorry don't like it

It works very well in some combos and not at all in others - to my personal eyes and ears, of course. Interesting!

I don't think a mn starting with a vowel is a good idea, especially when the vowel is A. So, no Alice, Eloise, Ingrid. And it doesn't seem to work with other flower names either: Daphne, Florence even, Madelief.

I've been really interested in it lately, too! There's just something so, well, wistful about it, hahaha.

---

Wisteria Melusine is STUNNING.
If you're interested in other suggestions, I think Wisteria Clémence also sounds lovely. :)

I want to like Wisteria but it's a bit much for me. The flowers are beautiful though and I do enjoy that imagery! I also take issue with it being so similar to Listeria.

---

Putting that aside I do like the sound of:
Wisteria Alice
Wisteria Florence
Wisteria Magdalene
Wisteria Maud
Wisteria Patience
Wisteria Sylvie

Wisteria‘s not really my type, but I will admit it has a very whimsical, almost fairy-like charm.

Wisteria Constance, Wisteria Daphne, Wisteria Jane, Wisteria Magdalene, Wisteria Melusine, Wisteria Sophie, and Wisteria Sylvie are beautiful.
