I knew a girl in high school and her name was Amarillys

Fleur is nice. Olive is one of my absolute favourites. Poppy used to be. Sage is such a nice name, but I will never like it on girls.

I know a girl named Acacia.

I used to have a cat named Zinnia. I loved her name so much I almost regret that I used it for a cat. It's so sassy and has great nns.

Sequoia, Marigold (as mn), Acacia, Violet, Laurel, Ivy, Iris, Heather are also gorgeous.

I once had a nurse called Narci, short for Narcissus.

And I so desperately wanted to name my daughter Zinnia but my husband said NO.

[th3-unicorn.livejournal.com]

Zinnia is veryvery similar to "zinna" which is bad slang for "boob" in Italy :P

[mountain-nest.livejournal.com]

oooh cool! i need to remember that. coincidentally i'm really into learning about italian slang and cursing at the moment.

What is that book called?! I must have it...

[moshimoshi-13.livejournal.com]

It's called Beyond Jennifer & Jason, Madison & Montana: What To Name Your Baby Now by Linda Rosenkrantz and Pamela Redmond Satran. I reccommend it. It's more interesting than the usual "organized alphabetically, with the meanings of the name" books.
