Re: Why are Violet, Iris, Daisy and Rose traditionally used as girl’s names but Tulip, Peony, Marigold and Orchid aren’t?

Thats a good question. Everyone has had some good answers. I would say that it all comes down to how it sounds and what reputation comes with it. Tulip, Peony and Orchid all sound strange - as girl names or names in general. Marigold is the most commonly used out of what you listed. It sounds vintage to me - maybe others think it's too old?
I think Violet and Rose are boring. I adore Daisy. I dislike how Iris and Orchid sound. I have a soft spot for Tulip and Marigold.
Columbine and Lotus sound strange too, but on principle I can enjoy hearing them on other people because I love flower names.
