My normal response to anyone suggesting names is to turn up the TV volume but a couple of names mum came up with are actually on our real list (first baby due December 1). I'd not made the connection with flowers though, believe it or not.

Such are our celebrity-crazed times that my first thoughts have been to the famous offspring with these names, rather than the famous natural world around me. I'd overlooked the fact that they didn't originate in the pages of Heat.
