Re: Why are Violet, Iris, Daisy and Rose traditionally used as girl’s names but Tulip, Peony, Marigold and Orchid aren’t?
With the exception of Orchid, have seen all of these used as girls names. Have also seen Hyacinth which also served as a mans name - with an added e - in the middle ages, Aster, Azalea, and Amarillas. Besides Orchid,have never seen Gladiola, Chrysanthemum, or Zinnia, but am not counting them out. Not these days. Simpke answer, Tastes change.
