Calanthe Mary is nice.
Aster Mary is less appealing. I get hung up on the "as-" sound, too.
My favorite floral names are
Iris and
Rose. I guess neither of them work fabulously well with
Mary as a middle. If I were using
Mary as a middle, I'd probably go with
Violet,
Azalea, or
Zinnia.
One of my favorite combos is
Rose Marina.
