Below, see the most stunning flower baby names for girls:
Acacia
While Acacia means “thorny” in Greek, it’s actually a yellow and white flower that symbolizes immortality.

Chrysanthemum
Did you know that Chrysanthemum is Greek for “gold flower?” And in the US, the colorful, full flowers represent protection and positivity.
Daffodil

Narcissus
Narcissus is another name for a Daffodil, so it all applies! However, you can also add the Harry Potter tie to this one. For a more feminine spin, you could use Narcissa.
Peony
Peony is a stunning girl name that means “healing!” As for the pink flower, it represents enlightenment, protection, healing, and prosperity. Fun fact: ants love peonies, and legend has it that they crawl on the buds to help them blossom. While this isn’t exactly true, it is a mutually-beneficial relationship — the peonies provide life-sustaining nectar for the ants, and the ants protect the peonies from being destroyed by aphids and other non-beneficial pests.

Saffron
The purple and orange flower called Saffron means “gold leaves,” and the actual flower represents rebirth, joy, innocence, and new beginnings. Saffron is used in cooking, and due to the fact that it’s difficult to harvest, is actually worth more per ounce than gold!
Thistle
Thistle is a unique flower name that means “to prick” — and we think it has holiday vibes, because let’s face it, it’s a cute name for an elf. Another reason to love this name is that the flower represents courage and protection.
Tulip
Both elegant and unique, the name Tulip is Persian for “turban,” but the flower represents love and affection, and is one of the first flowers to usher in the coming of spring.
Violet
Purple flowers really do have the coolest name options, like Violet, which is Latin for “purple.” Plus, the flower represents loyalty and transformation.
