@Sweetpooh1993 Lol, that's awesome! I only chose to do flower names because I wanted to do the not so berry challenge and so all the Sims are very colorful and have names that are supposed to match their colors. I didn't name all the Sims who married into the family after flowers because I just didn't know enough of them to name so many Sims. So I named many of them after colors or gems too. Except for the heirs, because so far all of the heirs are named after the flowers I like (most which most are connected to Greek mythology) so almost all the husband's of the heirs are named after Greek mythological beings. So like Narcissus was married to Daffodil because the myth of Echo and Narcissus (where he is transformed into the daffodil) and another is called Saffron and she is married to a sim named Crocus (the Crocus saffron is a pretty purple flower with orange pieces on the inside and in the myth of Crocus and Smilax, Crocus is turned into the flower). And there are so many others! I'm trying really hard to name all the Sims after flowers and all the husband's after related mythological beings. Sorry, that was a really big tangent, but tell me how the flower named family goes when you get the chance to name them!
@Otoyo I will be sure to that. I hope to finish the Sims 4 100 Baby Challenge before focusing on my main sim family. I think it is so cool that you have a set plan for your sims' names! I always had a deep fascination for Greek mythology, I commend you on your creativity. I wish I had a mindset similar to yours because I find myself sometimes just hitting the random option for each birth. I hope you complete the challenge.
@Sweetpooh1993 Thank you, you are very sweet. if I did 100 babies challenge, I'd probably hit random after a while! I hope you finish your challenge too!
@Shylloww yes, roses are very beautiful. I named the second generation heir (she's my profile picture actually) Sweet Briar after my favorite type of rose. There are so many amazing variations of roses! They are stunning. I think I will name a sim Rose too. Thank you!
@Snickerkitten Hydrangeas are amazing. There are many of them that bloom in the woods near my home. For the longest time, I had no idea what they were called. I just recently found out. I have never seen either a snapdragon nor a tiger lily in real life sadly, but they are quite lovely. I will use all three flowers as names.Thank you!
@Emmaburrowsuk I agree, lilies are very pretty. The genus name of lily flower is Lilium, which I named a sim after (it was his surname). I think my favorite lily flower would be the lemon lily or the Easter lily. Both are quite pretty. I am not sure what the difference is between lilies and water lilies (they aren't in the same family I think), but I really like both. The water lilies are super intricate looking. The family name is Nymphaea (comes from nymphs, and was thought to be sacred to them). I named an heir after those. I also took another suggestion to name a sim tiger lily. I think i will name another sim Lily, it is perfect for a name. Thank you!
@emmaburrowsuk thank you, but i know only some myth about some of the flowers. I have some books with me so when some one mentions a flower, I do research to see etymology and the different variations. Before this Sims family, i think I knew very little about flowers.
@littlemissgogo oh completely forgot about the peony! Thank you, I think that will be a perfect name! Apparently the name peony is derived from an old English word, derived from Latin, derived from the Greek Paion, the physician of the gods. I had no idea, that's so awesome! Thank you so much for the suggestion, I loved it!!
@MiataPlay I have never heard of a Dahlia before. I just googled it, that is an amazing flower. And the name sounds like it could be a person's name. Thank you so much, those we're all wonderful suggestions that I will write down!
@Savage_Patch_Kidd oh I have never heard of the spider Lily. They are incredibly interesting, unique, and strange. I love them! The scientific name apparently is Lycoris Radiata, so I may name a sim Lycoris or Spider Lily. Thank you so much for the suggestions! All three are wonderful flowers!
My great aunt's name was Arbutus Lydia, after the flower trailing arbutus. I had an ansestor whose name was Leafy. Idk her middle name, if she had one.
As for my favorite flowers, I have so many. The following are just some that have a special place in my heart, for various reasons:
Stargazer Lillies
Jack in the Pulpit
Gladiolous
Iris
Lilacs
Moss Roses
Forsythia
Phlox
Creeping phlox
Clematis
Geranium
Pansy (btw I once knew a girl named Pansy Rose Dandy)
Honeysuckle
Muscari aka Grape Hyacinth
Seven Sisters Rose
I have a sort of poetic one, ever heard of the Kadupul flower? It's rare and has a story behind it. You should consider it. Despite its really short lifespan, its one of the most beautiful and expensive flowers. If I remember correct, it blooms in the night on a full moon and releases a beautiful fragrance but when daylight comes it wilts, but the beauty is 'immortalized'. I love the Kadupul, I even wrote a fanfiction on it. You could add a Marilyn Monroe type sim under the name Kadupul and have it live out its destiny. (or not, just a suggestion)
Red hibiscus! My dad drew a the flower on the back of one of my hoodies and it holds a lot of sentimental value to me. He's a lot better at drawing than me, haha.

I think Lilly is a lovely name for a person or a sim also
