Since I have one, I'm of course partial to flower names for girls -- but I'm definitely not alone. Flower names are popular these days. A mom in Answers asked others what they thought of the name Azalia, which is actually a name all its own, but could also be seen as an alternative spelling of the flower name Azalea. (The former held a special meaning for the mom, which is why she was considering it.)
And I came across a cool list of pretty flower names for girls on nameberry -- there were some interesting picks! Here are a few.
The Trendiest
Daisy
Iris
Lily
Rose
Violet
British Blooms
Bryony
Flora
Ivy
Petunia
Poppy
Exotic Flowers
Amaryllis
Calla
Dahlia
Lilac
Zinnia
Do you like any of these? Are any on your list of baby names for girls?

no, but I swear if I have another girl, her name will be Tigerlilly.
We were going to name my Daughter Rose which was my Husbands Grandma's name. We ended up naming her Sara Rose Marie....her legal first name is Sara Rose and middle name Marie....so of course I love the name Rose :)
Some of these do make for really pretty names. Except for maybe Amaryllis. Just a bit too much for a name...
We're not going with a flower name, but there are a lot of Turkish girl names that are flowers as well.
Nergis (daffodil)
Gül (rose)
Çiğdem (crocus)
Pelin (I'm not sure what this is in English, but the dictionary says it is white and black and used to make herbal medicines)
Papatya (daisy)
Püren (again, not sure of the English, but it's a yellow and red leafy flower)
Nesrin (wild rose)
Karanfil (carnation)
Kardalan (I think this is another word for crocus)
Kamelya (camellia)
Leylak (lilac)
Manolya (Magnolia)
My new munchkin's middle name is going to be Rose. I like Lily, but I wouldn't do two flower names. Her first name might be Lilith with the nickname of Lily, though.
I like some of them. I know someone who named their child Arazalia it's kinda a take on Azalea.
i have a lily (rana- she was supposed to be a lilith and ended up just lily lol)
i'm having a boy this time but if we have another girl her name will be willow
f I have another baby and its a girl I will name her Amaryllis
If my son was a girl he was going to be Ivy. Good thing though we couldn't come up with a middle name-might still use it next time around.
I love these names. Tigerlily is beautiful. Love Rose, Dahlia, Iris, Lily, and Poppy.
