A beautiful name - with numerous petnames, nicknames, or shortnames to use upon familiarity or intimacy of relation.
This also reminds me of another name I like, Nina, but not to throw this back to the colonials - we also have Martha, Quinn & JJ; yet it also reminds me of the late writing of T.S. Eliot & the early writing of Albert Camus.
A lovely name indeed!

May: yes but no to flower. That's too much\too bizarre and hippyish galor
Mayflower could probably get away better with being a middle name I admit

Modern virtue name for Tea Party members? More feminine, since she's a ship, and both parts (May, Flower) are more likely as feminine names.

I live in a city where the Mayflower is well known a) as a ship, b) as a theatre, c) as a park. It sounds like a landmark rather than a person!

The flower of my birth-province, Nova Scotia!Not spectacular to see, but beautiful scent.
You could call someone Mayflower.

Hi !!!!
It is quite strange...
But I like very much the link with the famous ship.
And it remember also the nature so...
I think it could be good as a unisex given name..
I heard worse names! XD
Byeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Interesting you think of it as a given name, it sounds very feminine to me. I think because May is a female name and flower names are generally feminine.

Too political. Which is a pity, 'cause it's a beautiful word.

Hi,
even very unusual, but somehow impressive First Name;
unfortunately, does not sounds very feminine/female.
Appeared in a list of rare-but-real flower names resp. flower, tree and herb names :
Furthermore along with Acanthus, Amaryllis, Azalea, Betony, Bryony, Buttercup, Camellia, Cedar, Chrysanthemum, Dandeline, Fuchsia, Geranium, Honeysuckle, Jonquil, Lobelia, Maile (MY-lee) or Mailys, Mistletoe, Rhododendron, Saffron, Tansy, Thistle, Watsonia and Zinnia.
Well, poor kids ...
Loves ya

The daughter of Aprilshower?
har, har.
It would be possible (though too twee for my taste) if not for the famous ship.
But the ship makes it almost ugly.

Good one!
I hadn't thought about the ship.
I wonder if the ship was named for the kind of mayflower I have in mind (trailing arbutus), or just a flower that blooms in May?
(mildly interesting fact)-the mayflower is also the state flower of Mass.(U.S.)
Not surprising as the climate there is much the same as Nova Scotia.

I would think the parents were VERY patriotic. Then I would think the name itself has a nice sound, and wonder if they ever called her May.

It sounds like a pet name for someone named May (and used that way, I think it'd be cute).
As a formal name, it seems flaky imo.

It sounds like a hippie name.
I don't think it would be usable in the US since people will associate it with the ship that brought the Pilgrims over.
