Re: Put These Flower Names in Order of Preference
Linnea > Poppy > Camellia > Iris > Jasmine > Zinnia > Marigold > Aster > Dianella > Lunaria
(Just) my opinions:
I like Linnea and Poppy very much. Poppy is more of a gp, though. 9/10 and 8/10 respectively.
Camellia, Iris, and Jasmine are all okay. They aren't really my favorites, but they're pretty well established names. 7/10s all around.
I like Zinnia and Marigold, but they don't feel very well established. 6/10s.
I like how Aster looks, but not how it sounds. 3/10
Lunaria and Dianella are too frilly and not well enough established for me. I don't think Lunaria is a very commonly known flower, so it just sounds like a combination of Luna + Aria. Similar with Dianella: Diane + Ella. 2/10

They’re definitely not commonly known, but even if they were just combos, I think combo names can be pretty!
Yes, combo names can be pretty. I mentioned that they sounded like combo names as less of a negative thing, and more of just a thought (:
