Meet My Son: Skunk Cabbage

My mom and I watched six episodes of The Munsters on DVD last night.  I reflected on the name Lily.  There were also the characters Hyacinth, Daisy, Violet, & Rose from Keeping Up Appearances.  How many other people were named after plants?

With a little help from an internet search, I came up with quite a list of girls'/women's names.  Some of them I've heard of only as fictional characters.  You might have met some that aren't on this list.

Amaryllis

Camellia

Cicely

Dahlia

Daisy

Daphne

Erica

Fern

Ginger

Hazel

Heather

Holly

Hyacinth

Iris

Ivy

Jasmine

Laurel

Lavender

Lily

Magnolia

Marguerite

Marigold

Myrtle

Nigella

Olive

Pansy

Petunia

Poppy

Primrose

Rose

Rosemary

Rue

Veronica

Violet

Willow

The list for boys/men is much smaller.  Is it not considered masculine to be named after a plant?  (Again, a few names I know of only as fictional characters.)

Alfalfa

Basil

Cotton

Heath

Huckleberry

Reed

Rowan

Sage

I limited my search to solely plant proper names.  I didn't include modified names, such as Marjorie, which is similar to Marjoram.  Nor did I include non-specific, plant-related names, such as Flower/Fleur, Petal, or (dare I say it?) Leif (leaf, get it?).
