I was at Trader Joe's looking at some of the drawings that the neighborhood kids drew that were hanging up on the walls and their names. One of the drawings had the name Zinnia on it, and I have been really into the name Zinnia since. Does anyone else like this name? It's the first time I have seen it used on a real person.

I like Zinnia Louise, Zinnia Margaret, Zinnia Charlotte, and Zinnia Leonore.

I like it. But zinnias aren't my favorite flowers so there are other flower names that I'd use first.

I adore Zinnia. My top combos have always been Zinnia Charlotte and Zinnia Joy.

I quite like it too actually. It's pretty spunky and I like the fact that it's a flower. Zinnia Charlotte is my fave of your combos.

I don't like it much, because of not liking the zinnia (flower) itself much.
but sure, it could be ok.

Well, zinnias are so stiff! I like soft flowers.Even floppy ones.
I make an exception for tulips, always glad to see them appear after winter.

I like it. I even put it on my favorites. It seems namier than stuff like Marigold and Magnolia, to me. Easier to use.

But then I realized, its meaning is kinda in it - "after a guy whose last name was Zinn." And that doesn't really work for me, somehow ... I doubt I'd use it. I'm not sure I would like it on a real girl, or not. I've never seen it used. But I like to think I'd like it.

Zinnia Gisele
Zinnia Carole

I do like Zinnia. Though, I like almost every flower name, even those that are rarely used as names.

Zinnia is one of the fun and quirky ones too.

Zinnia Margaret is lovely. I like the balance.

Some combos I like:
Zinnia Maris
Zinnia Judith
Zinnia Pearl
Zinnia Laurel
Zinnia Beth
Zinnia Joselyn
