A friend just gave birth to a baby named Violet, much to the delight of all. A floral name conveys instant charm on a little girl, which is why the world is full of Heathers, Lilies and Roses. We have all encountered Daphnes, Jasmines, Irises, Daisies and Laurels. There are even Primroses, Poppies and Posies. But you're unlikely to meet a little Cauliflower, Parsnip or Potato.
