Logic
seems to be lacking from your reasoning, though.Just because something fits into a category from which names have sometimes been drawn doesn't mean that anything in the category would work.Let's apply your "but it's a flower so it should be usable" reasoning to this list of flower names from the Flowers and Plants Association of the UK's website:
Broom
Bottlebrush
Cockscomb
Drumstick
ScabiousOr from a flower company called 800flowers:
Leptospernum
Tritoma
Rattlesnake Calathium
RanunculusAnyway, my point is that just because some common flower names also make good names does not mean that any flower name can be a manageable human name.
