A simple and common form of Theme Naming is to name characters after flowers or other plants. This has the advantage of being less conspicuous than other forms of theme naming, as many of these names are common Real Life names, particularly for girls. Furthermore, many flowers and other plants already have strong symbolic associations. Common English language plant names for girls include Alyssanote Commonly regarded as a variant of Alice, the name is more likely derived from the Alyssum plant, Angelicanote It's a genus, along with Erica and Veronica, Antheanote more common in British works, it's derived from the Greek word for "blossom", Dahlia, Daisy, Erica, Ginger, Hazel, Heather, Holly, Iris, Ivy, Jasmine, Kaylanote In Hebrew, this means "wreath of laurels", Laurelnote along with Lauren, Laura, and other variants, Lily, Marigold, Olive, Olivia, Petunia, Poppy, Rose, Rosemary, Sharonnote as in the Rose of Sharon, Susannote From the Hebrew word for "lily," also gives its name to the black-eyed Susan, Veronica, Violet and Willow. Creates something of a problem if they later have a son, since there are not many plant names that could work for boys, though Ash, Basil, Heath, Herbnote This one works better in written works than spoken works, as at least in American English where the "H" is silent in the plant herb but not the name Herb, Joshua, Logan, Oliver and Rowan are some examples. If there's a female skunk in a story, chances are she'll have this, for obvious reasons. A more eco-conscious New-Age Retro Hippie who has kids will often name them after nature. See also Cherry Blossom Girl, and, of course, Flower Motifs. The Tragic Rose is a subtrope about the poignant relationship between roses and pain which also applies to persons named Rose. See also Queer Flowers, when the floral name and LGBT character's romantic feelings are connected. |

In both the original version of The Wicker Man (1973) and its 2006 remake of the citizens of Summerisle all have plant names to reflect their Pagan religion, including rare male examples like Ash, Oak, and Alder. (This is especially noticeable when Howie is browsing the list of students◊ at the school.) While in the remake it's Lampshaded with the page quote, in the original Howie remarks on it when he looks up the death certificates for the family of the missing girl. | |

Neku Sakuraba and his three successive game partners in The World Ends with You have this going in a relatively subtle way in their surnames— Sakuraba means "cherry garden", Misaki means "beautiful blossom", Bito includes the character for "wisteria", and Kiryuu has the character for "Paulownia". Arguably, they're all fitting beyond just matching the theme— Neku spends the whole game learning that the world is worthwhile and to break out of his own mental "garden"; Shiki Misaki has major self image issues, making her name a little painfully ironic; Beat is nothing if not tenacious, reflecting the strength of wisteria vines, and paulownia is sometimes called the "princess tree", which is pretty funny given Joshua's campness and flirtation. Or, more relevantly, it also has a whole host of supernatural implications, particularly an association with the Phoenix and therefore death and rebirth; very appropriate for the Physical God in charge of running the Reapers' Game. | |

In Little King's Story, the names of the princesses are plant-related: Scarlet Bouquet, Shizukanote depending on the kanji, it can mean "flower" along with "quiet, calm", Martel Daisy, Apricot, Spumoninote kind of a stretch, since it's an Italian ice cream typically flavored cherry, pistachio, and chocolate or vanilla, and containing candied fruits and nuts, Ferne and Pine. The non-princess you can take with you to the end is Verde, meaning "green", a color commonly associated with plants. | |

The codenames are the following: Marinette: Lotus Alya: Tigerlily Adrien: Buttercup Alix: Violet Myléne: Sunflower Rose: Tulip Juleka: Rose Rose later acquires the Pig Miraculous, whose associated kwami is called Daizzi (pronounced as "daisy"). Major antagonist Lila Rossi, whose name is actually an alias, is fund of using floral-based first names in her fabricated identities. |

Tales Series: Tales of Graces invokes this - Sophie is named after an in-universe flower, the sopheria. The Heartless in Tales of Hearts are all named after plants, and the biggest one is named Gardenia. Ironically, the character named Flora is the one who worked against them and created the countermeasure/antidote. Flora was the goddess of flowers and other plants, after all. |

Naruto: With one exception, all of Kimimaro's Shikotsumyaku techniques are named after plants, including Camellia, Clematis, Larch, Fern, and Willow. A subtle example is the Haruno family. Sakura is obvious, but her parents' names, while not referring to flowers, do allude to the life cycle of a plant: Kizashi is Japanese for sprouting, while Mebuki is Japanese for budding. |

RWBY: Team RWBY's weapons have names shared in common with types of flowers: roses for Ruby's Crescent Rose; myrtle and aster for Weiss's Myrtenaster; golden gambol (a type of orchid) for Blake's Gambol Shroud; and celica (a type of amaryllis) for Yang's Ember Celica. Anima is an Asian-themed continent with a flower-theme for the naming of towns and villages. Examples include the Japanese-influenced locations: Lake Matsu (pine trees), Kuchinashi (gardenia), Kuroyuri (Fritillaria camschatcensis; directly translates to "black lily"), Oniyuri (tiger lily; directly translates to "demon lily"), Higanbana (red spider lily), and Shion (Aster tataricus). In either flower language or other symbolism, these names are plot hints for events that occur when the characters arrive at these locations. |

Harry Potter: His mother, Lily (symbolic of purity and death) and aunt, Petunia (symbolic of resentment) Evans. At least six girls in Harry's year have floral names: Susan Bones, Lavender Brown, Daphne Greengrass (means laurel), Lily Moon, Pansy Parkinson, and Padma Patil (means lotus). From the Hogwarts staff, there's Poppy Pomfrey the nurse (poppies relieve pain) and Pomona (goddess of gardens and fruits) Sprout the Herbology professor. Others include Moaning Myrtle (it's a shrub like a blueberry), Narcissa (egotism, derived from the narcissus flower) Malfoy, Fleur Delacour (French for flower), Arabella Figg, Dorcas Meadowes, and Ron and Hermione's daughter, Rose. Lupin. Tends to be overlooked in favour of wolf-ishness, but it's a flower genus that includes the bluebonnet (as Texans may know of them). |

All of the characters in Goodbye, Battle Princess Peony are named after flowers: Peony, Dianthus, Lovelace (a variety of clematis), Moonshine (a variety of yarrow), Nightsky (a variety of petunia), and Silkrose. Silkrose is an interesting case, because there's no such variety of rose called the silkrose... unless her name is meant to refer to actual silk roses, as in fake flowers. This could be meant to be a hint that her cold, cruel demeanor is nothing more than a façade. | |

Doll Skin originally planned to name all of the songs on their album Manic Pixie Dream Girl after flowers, but ultimately only named three ("Sunflower", "Sweet Pea", and "Baby's Breath") using this theme out of a desire to avoid sticking songs with names that didn't fit. | |

In King of the Hill, Bill Dauterive's seductive cousins-in-law and cousin are named Rose, Lily, and Violetta. (For additional theming, each wears a color suggestive of the flower she is named for.) Also counts as Odd Name Out, since the actual cousin, Violetta, is the only one whose name isn't exactly the same as a flower. | |

Flower names appear throughout Knight Hunters. Ran means "orchid" and is referenced several times within the series; Sakura, of course, refers to Cherry Blossoms; Yoji may refer to Mirabilis jalapa; Weiss has a handler codenamed Botan. All of the Aoba Center Kritiker personnel have flower names (although these are probably codenames): Shion (Tatarian aster), Kikyou (Chinese bellflower), Kuroyuri (black lily), and Tsubaki (camellia). The members of La Mort use flower-themed names as well: Azami (thistle flower), Ayame (iris), and Rindou (Japanese gentian). | |

Technically, the Easter Bunny from The Guardians of Childhood series as his full name is E. Aster Bunnymund — 'Aster' being an entire genus of flowering plants. Given his portrayal in the books, the association is likely unintentional, but it's given more meaning in his movie portrayal, where he's a spirit of spring. This has led to a fandom trend of using this trope for original Pooka characters including, occasionally, AU versions of Jack Frost. | |

In Turning Red, in the Cantonese dub, Mei's given name is transcribed as 美蓮 (Méih-lìhn, or Mei-lin), meaning "beautiful lotus". In traditional Chinese literature, the lotus flower symbolizes purity and incorruptibility, as it is clean even though it grows in the mud, which may hint towards her mother's perfectionistic expectations towards her. | |

Schitt's Creek concerns the lives of the Rose family, who after losing their fortune and presumably sweet-smelling opulent existence, are forced to move to the rural town of Schitt's Creek and become friendly with the Schitt Family. They also meet sardonic motel clerk Stevie Budd, who gradually becomes integrated into the Rose family. When Johnny Rose and Stevie decide to partner in owning and running the motel, he renames it The Rosebud Motel to honor their partnership and thereafter all four of the Roses treat Stevie like family. | |

Fujiwara's family in Kaguya-sama: Love Is War all have names that relate to plants in some way (Daichi, the family patriarch, being the most indirect as his name translates to "large field").

A majority of the characters featured in Flower Knight Girl, due to them representing various species of flowers/plants in human girl form, all are named after their respective namesake plants. From names like Rose, Dancing Lady Orchid, Edelweiss, or Sakura — even instances of Edible Theme Naming in Strawberry, Apple, and Pineapple. The few exceptions are those who don't represent a flower in the first place, such as the Seven Sages of the Sun, since they're outsiders who don't originate from the region of Spring Garden. | |

In Avatar: The Last Airbender, women from the Beifong family seem to be named after flowers. Toph's name means "lotus" and her mother is called Poppy. It’s not averted by Toph’s own daughter, Lin, from the sequel series The Legend of Korra despite appearances. For the name Lin different Chinese characters can be used, one being the same character for Lotus. There's also a woman named Lily in one of the season 2 episodes of the original show which like Poppy is one of the probably handful of Western names in the franchise. | |

Shaman King: The Asakura family also has something of a theme going, with all of its members having kanji representing parts of plants in their names. The most common is "leaf", found in Hao ("leaf emperor"), Yoh ("leaf"), Yohmei ("bright leaf"), and Yohken ("wise leaf"), but there's also Keiko ("stem child"), Mikihisa ("long-lasting tree trunk"), and Kino ("of wood"). Yoh's son Hana ("flower") also fits the bill. Tao Ren and Tao Ran deserve mention as well as Ren's Chinese name, Lián, means "lotus" while Ran's Chinese name, Lán, means "orchid". |

The entire Kinomoto family in Cardcaptor Sakura. There's the titular character Sakura, her mother Nadeshiko (Japanese name for an entire family of flowering plants), her brother Touya whose name contains the kanji for Peach Blossom and her father Fujitaka (wisteria). It's emphasized in the manga with the character profiles, which name each of the family's favourite flower as the one they're named after, except Nadeshiko - whose favourite flower was cherry blossom, hence why she named her daughter 'Sakura'. | |

Constable Crabtree's massively numbered aunts in Murdoch Mysteries. In one episode, Murdoch asks how many aunts he has: "Well let's see, there's Aunt Amaryllis, Aunt Aster, Aunt Azalea, Aunt Begonia, Aunt Briony..." These were just A's and B's. Fifteen identified: Aunt Amaryllis, Aunt Aster, Aunt Azalea, Aunt Begonia, Aunt Briony, Aunt Clematis, Aunt Dahlia (though George managed to pronounce just "Dahl-" before he's cut off), Aunt Hyacinth, Aunt Iris, Aunt Ivy, Aunt Lily, Aunt Marigold, Aunt Nettle, Aunt Petunia, Aunt Primrose. The ones mentioned most often are Aunt Iris, Aunt Primrose, Aunt Petunia or Aunt Begonia. And it turns out that the Aunts aren't technically aunts, but a group of prostitutes who adopted the names as a selling point. | |

Carnivàle has Iris Crowe, though that isn't her birth name. It's nicely subverted by the fact that she's one of the bad guys (being big sister to The Antichrist will do that), and that irises are a symbol of heaven. She does, however, wear a lot of blue, and traditionally, blue irises were symbols of faith and hope, which Iris does embody, in a dark way. | |

Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has Dahlia and Iris Hawthorne, which has another bonus: the last name could be seen as "Has thorns", which is plant-related and is indicative of Dahlia's behavior. Sorta kept in the original Japanese: while Dahlia's original name "Chinami" is written in hiragana and thus has no fixed meaning note though it may come from the phrase chi mo namida mo nai which means ("bloodless and tearless", essentially "heartless") , her last name "Miyanagi" means "beautiful willow"; also, Iris's name is "Ayame" meaning "Iris" and being a symbol of hope... something that she sorta gives to Phoenix. Another bonus: Dahlia may come from the gruesome murder of "Elizabeth "Black Dahlia" Short and/or the novel written about it. | |

In Oresuki, the female characters all have flower-themed nicknames derived from the kanji in their real names; for example, Sumireko Sanshokuin (written as 三色院 菫子), is nicknamed Pansy (三色菫, pronounced as "Panjii"). Some of their real names also refer to flowers (e.g. Cosmos’s real name, Sakura, means "cherry blossom", while Pansy's real name, Sumireko, has the kanji for "violet"). Relatedly, the Theme Naming for the male characters’ nicknames is stuff that nourishes flowers. e.g. Protagonist Amatsuyu Kisaragi aka Joro = Watering Can, Bromantic Foil Taiyo Ōga aka Sun-chan. | |

Every single rabbit in Watership Down except Fiver and Bigwig (which are both nicknames) is named after a type of flower or type of low-growing plant. This even allows Names to Run Away from Really Fast, with "General Woundwort". (It also started a trend among writers and pet owners, as mentioned over in Stock Animal Names.) | |

One Piece: The Kuja tribe usually have flower-related names. A full list: Sandersonia, Marigold, Ran ("orchid"), Rindo ("Japanese gentian"), Daisy, Cosmos, Blue Fan, Sweet Pea, Marguerite, Aphelandra, Gloriosa, Kikyo ("Chinese bellflower"), Belladonna ("nightshade"), Kiku ("Chrysanthemum"), Poppy, Pansy, Shion ("aster"), Enishida ("broom") and Nerine. It isn't known for sure where their empress Hancock's name is taken from, but it's probably either from Thomas Hancock, (founder of the British rubber industry), or from the Latin name for snowberry. | |

Pokémon In the Japanese versions of the games, every single significant NPC has a plant-based name. In the English version of Platinum, the Frontier Brains have plant-based names. Johto's towns and cities also have a plant motif in both English and Japanese. The Pokemon Professors are all named for trees: Oak, Elm, Birch, Rowan, Juniper, Sycamore, Kukui, and Magnolia. Most of the characters keep their puns in English or use altered versions. They are just harder to find. For example, Candice, R(ye)iley, Thor(n)ton, Palmer, and so on. Gym leaders who use Grass Pokémon (Erika, Gardenia, Ramos) tend to have names with plant-related meanings. Pokémon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire introduces Zinnia and her Whismur, Aster. Pokémon Sun and Moon: Besides Prof. Kukui, all the trial captains' and kahunas' names reference flowering plants in some way. For example, there's Hala, Hau, Kiawe (though in Japanese his name is Kaki (Japanese persimmon)), Suiren (Japanese for water lily, renamed "Lana" in Englishnote derived from the Hawaiian term for water lily, lilia-lana-i-ka-wai also the word for "afloat", Mao (Hawaiian cotton (renamed "Mallow" in Englishnote The common name of many flowering plants)), Māmane (Hawaiian for Sophora chrysophylla, renamed "Sophocles" in English), and Lillie (just lily). Pokémon Scarlet and Violet breaks this trend somewhat: The Pokémon professors, Sada and Turo (depending on version), are named after Spanish words for past (pasada) and future (futuro) instead, but the character who gives you your starter Pokémon, Clavell, follows the plant-named theme. |

Deconstructed and then reconstructed in the children's picture book, Chrysanthemum. The title character loves her name until her first day of school comes, at which all the other students laugh at her because her name is so long and doesn't fit on her name tag ("I'm named after my grandmother; you're named after a flower!") However, the music teacher, who the students admire deeply, comes to Chrysanthemum's rescue by showing them that she's also named after a flower and wants to name her daughter after the same one as the protagonist. | |

Dedicates and some mages in the Circle of Magic universe normally pick nature-y names, with plant mages having, well, plant names. Two of them are Rosethorn and Briar Moss, with another healer called Henna. | |

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet breaks this trend somewhat: The Pokémon professors, Sada and Turo (depending on version), are named after Spanish words for past (pasada) and future (futuro) instead, but the character who gives you your starter Pokémon, Clavell, follows the plant-named theme. | |

In Raise Wa Tanin Ga Ii most of the main characters are named after flowers. Miyama Kirishima is type of azalea and the "symbol flower" of Kagoshima. Somei Yoshino is a common type of cherry blossom originating from the "King cherry" on Jeju Island. Akashigata Tsubaki is a type of camellia that is considered the "rose of Japan". Author hasn't said why they chose this convention but given the nature of the manga it might be a reference to the delicacy and fleeting beauty of seasonal flowers. Kinda like a life cut brutally short. | |

Katniss from The Hunger Games comes from an aquatic plant while her sister Primrose received her name from a bush (Primrose bush). Prim named the cat Buttercup because she insisted that his muddy yellow coat matched the bright flower. Rue, another tribute, received her name from a small mountain flower (Ruta graveolens). Symbolically, both Ruta graveolens and primrose blossoms close at night. Rumor has it Suzanne Collins says Katniss and Peeta's daughter is named Willow. | |

Pokémon Sun and Moon: Besides Prof. Kukui, all the trial captains' and kahunas' names reference flowering plants in some way. For example, there's Hala, Hau, Kiawe (though in Japanese his name is Kaki (Japanese persimmon)), Suiren (Japanese for water lily, renamed "Lana" in Englishnote derived from the Hawaiian term for water lily, lilia-lana-i-ka-wai also the word for "afloat", Mao (Hawaiian cotton (renamed "Mallow" in Englishnote The common name of many flowering plants)), Māmane (Hawaiian for Sophora chrysophylla, renamed "Sophocles" in English), and Lillie (just lily). | |

Pokémon: The Series: Multiple: In the Japanese and English version of the anime, Misty's three sisters are named after flowers. In the Japanese version, they're Sakura (cherry blossom), Ayame (iris), and Botan (peony), while Misty's Japanese name, "Kasumi", can mean either "baby's breath" or "mist". In the English version, the sisters are Daisy, Violet, and Lily. Misty loses out on the theme naming in order to keep her Meaningful Name relating to her being the water-type Gym Leader. Gary Oak's name is also a pun; there's a type of tree called a Garry Oak. He is the rival of Ash, who also happens to have a tree name. |

There are lots of plant-based names in Warrior Cats, since the characters name their children after what they know, and they live in the forest.

Not all the Omen in Harvestella are thematically named (though more than a few draw from Alice's Adventures in Wonderland), but two of them meant to keep the world inhabitable most assuredly do. Dianthus uses the language of flowers in her name to denote her boldness and willingness to strive, while Magnolia's name indicates their goal of stability, repairing the coral reefs no matter how long it might take. | |

Ace Attorney: Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney has Dahlia and Iris Hawthorne, which has another bonus: the last name could be seen as "Has thorns", which is plant-related and is indicative of Dahlia's behavior. Sorta kept in the original Japanese: while Dahlia's original name "Chinami" is written in hiragana and thus has no fixed meaning note though it may come from the phrase chi mo namida mo nai which means ("bloodless and tearless", essentially "heartless") , her last name "Miyanagi" means "beautiful willow"; also, Iris's name is "Ayame" meaning "Iris" and being a symbol of hope... something that she sorta gives to Phoenix. Another bonus: Dahlia may come from the gruesome murder of "Elizabeth "Black Dahlia" Short and/or the novel written about it. There are a few plant-themed names in Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth, probably to reflect that the villains are all part of a ring run from the flower-themed Allebahst. They include defense attorney Calisto Yew, flight attendant Cammy Meele (chamomile), and ambassador Quercus Alba (the white oak). Yew and Alba's Japanese names are also floral-themed: Yew is called "Himiko Kazura" ("kazura" means "ivy"), and Alba's full name is Kāneiji Onreddo (which sounds like "carnation red" when spoken aloud). |

(You can see where this is going). The characters in the little girls' game are all named for flowers, trees or plants; there's Prince Willow, Princess Wisteria and their advisor Lord Lilac; in the opposite corner (down below the earth) there's Princess Mistletoe, her dad Lord Hemlock (apparently a Consort), and her mom, the reigning monarch, Queen Oleander. | |
