Biblical and flowers

**hollymaedream** · March 7th, 2010, 03:28 PM

hi everyone, ANY IDEAS ON BIBLICAL BOYS NAMES AND FLOWER GIRLS NAMES WOULD APPRECIATE ANY HELP

we are having our fifth child and we go for biblical names for boys and flower names for girls (don't ask me why, just worked out this way) And then to be even pickier we go two syllable first names and one syllable middle names. (again sounds ridiculous, ha but there you go!!!)

for a boy it looks like a maybe for NOAH (not sure on middle names)

and a girl VIOLET GRACE

our other kids are

ELI JAMES
CALEB EARL
HOLLY MAE
AMOS JOHN

Two syllable boys names:

I really like Noah but other suggestions, if that's what you're after:
Reuben (my son's middle name)
Levi
Thomas
Joseph
Isaac
Judah
Jacob
Asher
Ezra
Silas
Micah

One Syllable:
Paul
Dan
Joel
Job
Mark
Luke

Flower names:

I LOVE Violet too (it's gorgeous) and Grace is very pretty (my DD2's middle name)

I can't really think of any off the top of my head though

I love Noah James. It's a name on my list if we have another baby (and it's a boy!). And Violet Grace is lovely, so feminine.

What about:

Daniel
David
Memphis
Jaden
Adam

Acacia
Lily

(a bit biaed on this on!!)
Rosie/Rose/Rosalie
Daisy
Heather
Jasmine

Phoebe ?
My great auntys were all flowers too- Daisy, Pansy, Violet and Myrtle!

**sneakysparkle** · March 7th, 2010, 04:31 PM

I think Micah would go really well with your other names!
I also love Jonah, Asher, Judah & Levi.

for girls: how about Daphne or Eden (which I know isn't a flower, but it is pretty! And a garden

)?

**Caramello** · March 7th, 2010, 04:38 PM

Carmel is another garden...comes highly recommended

Leilani (pronounced lay-lani) means 'heavenly flower' in Hawaiian or 'flower' in Latin.

**Indadhanu** · March 7th, 2010, 04:54 PM

I quite like Jasmine

We looked at flower names (and decided on one

). Some other two-syllable flower names I like are:
Lily
Ivy
Rosa
Heather

Also, Mali means Jasmine in Thai.

A nice one is Lotus, never heard it as a name, but it's a gorgeous flower. Also Kalei (kar-layee), which means wreath of flowers, so it isn't a flower but it's still very nice.

boy: Isaiah?
Girl - Iris?

**Peg** · March 7th, 2010, 05:33 PM

Josiah is one of my fav biblical names although so is Caleb...this is my DS1 name

I like Lily or Lilia for a girl... my DD3 has Lily as her middle name.

Lotus is a keeper if you like really unusual names... she could be called Loti (as in Lot ee) for short which is quite cute. (might have to keep that one under my hat if we have a girl)

Briony is salty water/ocean ... we have a briony in the family

**AnyDream** · March 8th, 2010, 10:42 AM

Also the name of flower (from Wikipedia):

Bryony (pronounced /ˈbraɪəni/ or /ˈbriːəni/) is the common name for any of twelve species in the genus Bryonia. These are perennial, tendril-climbing, dioecious herbs with palmately lobed leaves and flowers in axillary clusters. The fruit is a smooth, globular berry
...
Variants of the plant name, such as Briony, Bryonie, and Bryony are used, in some cultures, as names for women or girls. It was quite popular in the 18th century. The name is most popular in and around Scottish regions where the plant is mainly seen and grown. This results in many Scottish versions of the name.

I am a big fan of Ivy.. will be a middle name for this one if it's pink!

And apparently there is a fourth on the way for Jaime Oliver.. so can't wait to hear what they name this one!
