  1. Mayflower
    • Meadowsweet
      • Moonbeam
        • Moonflower
          • Narcissa
            • Origin:

            • Meaning:

              "daffodil"
            • Description:

              This Greek flower and mythological choice doesn't make it into the pantheon of possibilities because of its association with narcissism. But narcissa is December's flower of the month, so Narcissa and Daffodil theoretically make perfect names for December babies.

            • Origin:

              Greek mythology name

          • Nizana
            • Origin:

          • Nolana
            • Description:

              Nolana is a feminine name with Latin origins, derived from 'nolanus' meaning 'from Nola,' referring to an ancient city near Naples, Italy. The name also has connections to the botanical world, as Nolana is a genus of flowering plants native to Chile and Peru, featuring bell-shaped blooms. As a given name, Nolana remains quite rare, offering parents a unique choice that carries subtle natural associations. Its melodic sound with the soft 'n' consonants gives it an elegant, flowing quality. While uncommon in mainstream usage, Nolana appeals to those seeking a distinctive name with classical roots and botanical undertones.

                  • Meaning:

                  • Description:

                    Orchid is a hothouse bloom that has not been plucked by many modern baby namers — yet. In the language of flowers, orchids symbolize love, beauty, and sophistication.

                  • Olneya
                    • Pansy
                      • Origin:

                        English flower name from French
                      • Meaning:

                        "thought"
                      • Description:

                        Pansy is an early floral name that lost credibility when it became a derogatory slang term for gay people. Better these days: Posy or Poppy.
                    • Penthia
                      • Origin:

                        Greek
                      • Meaning:

                        "flower"
                      • Description:

                        Penthia might not be the most charming flower name, but as the lovely Penelope ascends, and the lovely Cynthia fades away, a compromise may be in order.
                    • Peony
                      • Origin:

                        Flower name; Latin
                      • Meaning:

                        "healing"
                      • Description:

                        One of the rarest of the floral names, though not without some teasing potential. Peony is a historical 1948 novel by Pearl S. Buck.
                    • Petal
                      • Origin:

                        English from Greek
                      • Meaning:

                        "leaf"
                      • Description:

                        Petal is the soft and sweet-smelling name of a character in the novel and film, The Shipping News. With the rise of such flower names as Poppy and Posy, we believe Petal — down-to-earth yet romantic — has its own appealingly distinctive style.
                    • Petunia
                      • Origin:

                        English

                        "trumpet-shaped flower"
                      • Description:

                        Literary heritage: the "Loony Tunes" girlfriend of Porky Pig. But with the increasing popularity of all kinds of unusual botanical names, Petunia may be a name we start to hear more of. Perhaps-more-pleasing Petunia alternatives: Petal, Posy, Poppy.
