That sounds like good enough reason for the orange-man to invade the Netherlands.

“Why do they have rights over the Netherlands anyways? They got troops in the Netherlands a few hundreds of years ago, but we have troops over there too!”
3 monthsVery common in Brazil: Rosa, Margarida, Jasmim/Yasmin, Lívia, Íris.
ps: Margarida is Daisy and Lívia is Lily.
I gotta say, knowing of two Violets in my life, that is probably my favorite name.

Portuguese: Rosa, Margarida (Daisy), Floribela (“beautiful flower”), Dália (Dhalia), Íris, Violeta, Jasmim, Magnólia, Flor (literally “flower”), Gardénia, Hortência (Hydrangea), Florência, Liliana (from Lily), Jacinta (Hyacinth). I know personally women with all but four of these names.
This in Portuguese, where I currently live, but I have no reason to believe you won’t find them in Brazil or other Portuguese speaking countries as well…
Japan: 花 (Hana, Flower), 菫 (Sumire, violet), 蓮 (Ren, lotus), 蘭 (Ran, Orchid), 柊 (Hiiragi).

I’m sure someone else will cover the big ones for the US but I just want to chime in that my son’s classmate is named Cattleya. (It’s a type of orchid.)

In France some common ones are Rose, Iris, Capucine (Nasturtium), Hortense (Hydrangea), Marguerite (Daisy), Violette, Azalée (Azalea), Camélia, Fleur (Flower), Lilas (Lilac). There’s way more than that but those are the ones that come to mind.
