A Few Tips for Plant-Themed Naming
- Avoid Poisonous
Plants: Sure, “Hemlock” sounds edgy, but let’s not go there.
- Check Spelling: “Saffron” =
chic. “Saffrooon” = not so much.
- Think Nicknames: Make sure
your child’s name doesn’t accidentally shorten to something unfortunate.
(Looking at you, Peony!)
Choosing a name is like planting a garden—you’re nurturing something that
will grow into something beautiful and unique. Whether your little Olive
branches out into music, science, or just becomes the neighborhood “cool kid,”
these plant-inspired names will set them up to thrive.
