Names for cattle. Some of these are actually cute names, but I can't get the 'moo' association out of my head...

Daisy
- Origin:
  Diminutive of Margaret or flower name, English
- Meaning:
  "day's eye"
- Description:
  Daisy, fresh, wholesome, and energetic, is one of the flower names that burst back into bloom after a century's hibernation. In 2024, it burst back into the Top 100 for the first time since 1908.
Buttercup
- Origin:
  Flower name, from English
- Meaning:
  "yellow wildflower"
- Description:
  Though most Buttercups are of the bovine persuasian, this humble flower name was given to the lovely princess in "The Princess Bride." If Buttercup still feels too lowly for you, you might consider Clover, Daffodil, or Daisy.

Daffodil
- Origin:
  Flower name, from Greek
- Meaning:
  "asphodel"
- Description:
  Yes, though it seems so extreme, girls were actually sometimes given this name a century ago; now it is so uncommon it would make a strong springtime statement. Biggest obstacle: the nickname Daffy.
Bluebell
- Origin:
  Flower name from English
- Meaning:
  "blue bell"
- Description:
  Bluebell is one flower name that is used very quietly. Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell joined her former Spice Sisters in creative baby-naming with this adventurous — some might say outlandish — choice. Andie MacDowell has a granddaughter named Bluebell Coyote through her daughter Rainey Qualley.
