7 Flower-Inspired Names for Your Summer Baby

Now that summer is here, flowers are bountiful wherever you look. They charm us and bring happiness, fragrance, and beauty to our lives. These baby names inspired by flowers are lovely, and many of them are gender neutral, suitable for both boys and girls. Naming your child after one of the most beautiful things in nature is a lovely thing. I'm a big fan of flower names!

In the late 19th century, naming babies after flowers, plants, and trees was the thing to do and a popular trend. Parents have been using many of these names for years, and celebrities are just a few of the people who have jumped on the flower naming trend. Jamie Oliver's wife, Jules Oliver, is a big fan of flower names and chose names pertaining to flowers for all three of her girls - Poppy, Daisy, and Petal - while Ben Affleck and his wife Jennifer Garner famously named their eldest daughter Violet.

From Begonia and Zinnia to Aster and Yarrow, these are 50 of the sweetest baby names inspired by flowers.
