Flower or gemstone names that could be used for a boy?

[LiddlePixie]

I don't have any suggestions that haven't already been posted but i have a friend (female) named Ione and she pronounces it eye-oh-nee. GL!

I had a very good friend called Garnet....

I know you were looking for flowers/gemstones but there is Orion - the star constellation - no idea why I just thought of that????

Tiger as in a Tiger's Eye

Errrr, wait til his first love interest tells their parents his name.

Jett is a stone, Flint? Micah? Morion? Xenotime?

For flowers this is a list I googled.

Aciano ... "The blue bottle flower."

Crisanto ... "Gold flower." ... [4]

Fiorello ... "Little flower." ...

Florent ... "In flower." ... [9]

Florian ... "Flower." ... [3]

Gentian Flower name: the gentian was named after an ancient king of Illyria (now coastal Croatia) ... [3]

Hyacinthe ... A flower name that was originally a male name ... [3]

Jacinto ... Masculine form of the Greek flower name Hyacinth. [3]

Nalin ... a beautiful flower that flourishes in muddy waters ... [1]

Plantagenet ... Broom is an English flower ... (I think this one sounds a tad sci fi)

OOOO, I really like Nalin. Hmmmm, might be good if I have a boy next

I like Jasper (never used to but CJ's donor-sib that we just met is a Jasper and it's so cute on him!)

[Nelle]

I've heard of a boy called Jem too...isn't he from Anne of Green Gables?

There are also names that mean flower, like Florian.
Jonquil?

I don't know about gemstones, but for just general natural stones and trees, there are quite a few.
Sterling, Flint, Alder, Willow, Oleander, Thorne, Sage, Rowan, Forrest, Moss, Heath, Leaf/Leif.

Ooooooooo thanks everyone! Didn't even find any of those on my search (online search, since I can't find where the baby names book went!!!).

[Nelle]

You could even just find out flower names in other languages?

[Indadhanu]

Nalin is Lotus in ... well it said 'Hindi/Buddhist' and then Sanskrit, which I guess is kind of Indian?



Does anyone know what 'Jasmine' is in a few different languages? I know it's Mali in Thai (hehehe, like the elephant).
