| Chrysanthemum | comment |
Chrysanthemum is a 1991 children's picture book by Kevin Henkes.Chrysanthemum is a little mouse girl who loves her name. But on her first day of school, everyone laughs at her name because it's so long, because it hardly fits on her name tag, and because she's named after a flower. With everyone being so mean, will Chrysanthemum ever stop being embarrassed about her name?In 1998, Weston Woods Studios produced an animated version of the book, narrated by Meryl Streep.For other books by the same author, see Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse and Wemberly Worried. | |

Opinion Flip-Flop | |
| Chrysanthemum / int_126e7451 | comment |
Opinion Flip Flop: Jo, Rita, and Victoria think that Chrysanthemum being named after a flower is simply dreadful. But after Mrs. Twinkle, the music teacher everyone admires, reveals that she's named after a flower too, they decide they want flower names of their own — Marigold, Carnation, and Lily of the Valley. | |

Playing a Tree | |
| Chrysanthemum / int_4ff31e76 | comment |
Playing a Tree: Used as a plot point. The titular character, who is already being bullied by her classmates for her Embarrassing First Name, is cast as a daisy in the class musical, prompting Victoria, Jo and Rita to laugh at her even more. However, their music teacher gets them to stop teasing her by revealing that she is also named after a flower and that she thinks Chrysanthemum's name is beautiful. Even the nature of the trope itself is subverted; the epilogue reveals that "Chrysanthemum was absolutely perfect as a daisy", while the Alpha Bitch forgot all of her lines. | |
