What do you think of the name Amaryllis? I seem to have a thing for quirky plant/flower names...another favorite name of mine is Juniper. What do you think of Mary as a nn for it....do you like Lissa, Rylla, or Amy better than Mary? Sorry, lots of questions!

Anywho, there's my two cents. Sorry if I pronounced it wrong! :)

OH, I absolutely LOVE this name! I had forgotten all about it until you mentioned it! I think it is absolutely beautiful! :-) :-) :-) It is just so lilting and lovely!
I wouldn't use the nn Mary, though...I don't think it does the name justice. Amaryllis is so unique and outstanding, and Mary is kind of...plain. I might suggest Mara or Mari, or Lissie?
Best of luck to you!
Flower names I'd choose above Amaryllis include:

Ok, some aren't technically flowers, but all go with the botanical theme.
