I know I don't have kids yet, or a husband, but I've been thinking about middle names based off of state flowers. This is all inspired because of a really cool pillow I have where some person embroidered all the states and their flowers.
So what do you think of:
Violet
Poppy
Peony-
Magnolia
Iris
Jessamine
Hawthorn
I think my favorite is Jessamine.
Not in the running for future baby names are:
Indian Paintbrush
Goldenrod
Arbutus
Dogwood
Rhododendron
Lady Slipper
Oregon Grape
Saguaro
Syringa
Bitterroot
Yucca

I know dogwood isn't in the running but what about dogBODY...I think it's a family name :) I love Violet as a family name as well.
Hey now...don't be too hasty in dismissing Arbutus. I think it has real potential!
oregon grape is actually called mahonia, which i think would be a cool name. its an awesome plant that they have found is resistant to staph infections, even really strong ones like MRSA. plus mahonia just sounds prettier than oregon grape.
The book "Belle Prater's Boy" has a character whose middle name is Arbutus.
Mahonia IS really pretty. It sounds a bit like that girls name from Johnny Lingo. "Mahonna, you ugly!"
