I heard a man talking about his teenage daughter, named Griffin. WDYT? Definitely not a name I ever thought I'd hear on a girl.

also, last night I dreamt that someone I know had a set of boy/girl twins, and named them Lowan Rowan Cohen and Juno Apple. Obviously, boy's name would be ridiculous. I do actually like the names Juno and Apple, but probably not together.

Floral names

A friend of mine brought up that all of my girl's names are floral names - Dahlia, Lily, Rose, etc. but I'm confused on names for boys. I was thinking of continuing that theme. Are there plant/floral names that would work for boy names that I'm just not thinking of?? Help!

Martha!

I really love the name Martha and recently found out that it was the name of my great-great-grandmother. Seems like quite a legitimate reason to use the name, in my opinion :)

I still like my out there names (like Meadow) but I think Martha is a great fall-back for if I have a daughter and decide to tone down the name and go for normal rather than unique.

What middle names would you suggest for Martha? Do you like the name?
