HelpRe: Why are Violet, Iris, Daisy and Rose traditionally used as girl’s names but Tulip, Peony, Marigold and Orchid aren’t?
in reply to a message by chrssosp
The second group has been used as girls' names, just not nearly as often as the first group. I think a lot of that is just luck of the draw. Orchid probably got the least use, because it comes from a root meaning testicle, and the educated classes way back when would have known that.
