Marigold

Very frilly

"And all because of Marigold Coneybear!"

This name actually sounds more vintage to me than hippie.

Marigolds are associated both with the Virgin Mary and Hindu ritual offerings, giving this name a spiritual reference as well as a floral one.

If you consider Mary and Margaret overused (I don't,but I know people who do) this is a nice alternative.

Changed my mind. This is now in my top 2 baby names and I can't imagine not using it one day... I especially like how the first syllable is the same as Margaret, my late nan's middle name, i've always planned on naming a daughterafter her in some way and this is a beautifully subtleway that would be special just for me

I like this, especially with the nicknames "Goldie" or "Mary". Would definitely use it

This is totally my guilty pleasure name. We already have a girls name all picked out but if we were ever to have a second girl, it would be Marigold, nickname Goldie.

I don't want another baby, but I think name would be high on my list. We already have a Juniper and I think the names would sound cute together.

I love this. You don't hear it often, compared to many other flower names, but it's totally usable, and so beautiful.

Adorable name

Its really growing on me actually. I could see it working on a beautiful little girl but I don't know if I can get away from the rubber-glove association. Maybe.

I think this is a lovely name, and I love its etymology, "Mary's gold". That just seems so delightful.

Marigold...this flowy vintage name has been floating around in my head the past few days. I am really starting to love it. What are everyone's first impressions of a Marigold? If you met a Marigold, what would you expect?

Elsie Marigold is lovely

I love this name, but I see it as more of a middle name, example: Elsie Marigold,

Marigold is the quintessential super-vintagey floral Victorian name. I do mainly think of it in the context of children's books, as NB's description says, since there are so many of them with Marigold characters in it. Mari and Goldie are cute nicknames for Marigold.

Marigold is a lovely name in theory, but I think it's one of the nature names that sounds more overly hippy (bordering the same level of hippie as Sunshine and Rainbow), that I would choose a different unique floral name instead, something like Magnolia that sounds more accessible.

Yes- I know what you mean . Both names have a strong sound to them, even though they are feminine type names but they are a bit long ( for my taste )

I can't decide if this name is too hippie dippie. For example, I can't stand Clementine and I can see why the two are similar. But I am drawn to this name. Prefer Marisol though.

Pretty, and allows for the cute nicknames Mari and Goldie.

This is such a beautiful name! And it is also sorta like a more unique two name name like Mary Kate, and Anna Jane! So pretty!

This is such a beautiful and sweet name! I like this name a lot.

can't put my tongue on it, but it sounds really heavy

I love Goldie as a nickname

I can see this name on a woman of any age, and I think it is rather lovely.

It may seem cute on a baby, but imagine calling a rebellious teen 'Marigold'. No thank you.

Marigold is getting a lot more exposure now thanks to "Downton Abbey."

I like this as a name but the actual flower is ugly to me.

I'm normally a big fan of flower names, but this is one I don't really like.

I completely agree.

I love this name so much! It's such a beautiful, unique flower name!
