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
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.
