If you’re expecting the arrival of a little one, choosing a name can take hours, weeks, or even months. We think one great option is to take a note from nature and choose a flower-inspired name. Cute yet sophisticated, these names celebrate the beautiful life you’ll watch bloom.
1. Rue
The sweet girl in The Hunger Games, Rue is a perfect name for any lovely child. If you’re not familiar with the rue plant, it’s a flowering herb that was once popular in gardens. While it’s not as common today, we still think it makes a wonderful name for any child.
2. Ambrosia
In Greek, ambrosia means immortality and comes from the Greek word, ambrotos.
While it’s technically a species of the ragweed family, ambrosia produces small green flowers. It’s considered an allergy nuisance, much in the same way dandelions are. But there’s no disputing it’s a beautiful name.
3. Jasmine
Jasmine carries various meanings depending on the location and culture. However, most of these are related to positive attributes like beauty and love. If you think your little girl is a beautiful gift from God, Jasmine is a perfect name.
One fun fact about the jasmine plant is that it blooms at night. Only those who sneak out to catch the small open flowers will experience the wonderful fragrance these flowers produce.
