My two girls have floral names, now I'm stuck on what to call the third

"We are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell," the mum writes. 

An expectant mother has asked the internet for advice about what to name her third daughter.

Having two daughters already named Poppy and Bluebell, she wants to continue the floral theme.

However, coming up with the perfect name to match the others has brought up some unique considerations for the mum, such as some less-that-ideal associations.

"We are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell"

Taking to the Mumsnet Baby Names forum, she shared: "Hello! I’m new here. Currently expecting our third and final baby. We have two beautiful girls already - Poppy and Bluebell and have recently found out this baby is a girl too!

"So we are looking for another flower name to go with Poppy and Bluebell."

She then explains that she's always loved 'Rose', however, struggles with it because of the association with Rose West the serial killer.

"Silly I know because the name and the flower are beautiful, but I always think of her," she writes.

"Lily is also gorgeous but I already know lots of Lilys. Any suggestions? Please note, my other two girls are already named so I really don’t need to know if you don’t like their names. Just looking for ideas on what to call the third, thanks in advance."
