For decades babies have been christened with floral-inspired names. Rose, Violet, Poppy and Iris have all been popular with parents – and whether or not their parents were flower enthusiasts, each is a beautiful reminder of the flowers anyone would love to have in their home!
Did you know that naming babies after beautiful “flora” is one of the hottest reemerging trends?
We’ve all met a Daisy, Marigold, or a Lily. Those classic names are definitely making a comeback with parents. But what about more unique choices, such as Tansy, Bluebell, Orchid, or Chrysanthemum? Surprisingly, these names are having their day in the sun with parents-to-be!
For those parents who want in on the trend but want to stick with the classics, names such as Heather, Myrtle, and Alyssa (all floral names) are also popular. And the names aren’t just for the girls! Parents of boys are even getting in on the fun with names like Alder and Sage. Floral-inspired names for boys are definitely less common, but on the cutting edge.
Whether parents pick a rare flower name for their child, or christen them with a classic, a floral name is always a beautiful choice.
