[Opinions] Magnolia

I love Magnolia. Magnolias are my favorite flowers. I would use it with the nickname Nola.
Magnolia Faye and Magnolia Clare stand out as extra beautiful to me.
Sadie Magnolia is cute.
I used to have Scout Magnolia as a favorite combo.

A friend of a friend has a toddler named Magnolia.
I feel as if I should like it, because magnolias are possibly my fav tree, and it'd fit in with other names I like (Willow, Gardenia, Magdalene, Noa), but I don't.
There were two gigantic (70 ft?) magnolia trees in my childhood yard, and my mom was forever despairing about the fallen leaves and cones; so in the back of my mind, I think Magnolias are messy, plus something about the sound seems heavy...yet I think Mags is cute.
Other associations: I think of the song "Strange Fruit", which doesn't help; Steel Magnolias is better but not great, and that's a lot more vague to me.
My favorite of the combos is Magnolia Faye, strangely. I don't usually like Faye.
Magnolia Renee is the full name of No Doubt's drummer's daughter.
I would avoid pairing it with Sadie, because connotations "Sister Sadie" + magnolia associations seem bad to me.
Phyllis Magnolia
Prosper Magnolia
Nellie Magnolia
Actually, I do like it a bit as a middle name. It has a vibe of grandness, like Gloria does.

It sounds like the name of a haughty dame with a drawling voice. I much prefer the similar Marigold. Eve Magnolia is my favourite.

Any idea what things in popular culture might have inspired its recent popularity?
It seems very deliberately Southern, to me.
I think it's a nice name and I like nn Maggie. But I'm turned off by the emphasized NO in it. For some reason I'm sensitive to that in names.
I like your combos: Magnolia Renee and Eve Magnolia.

The drummer for No Doubt named his daughter Magnolia in 2011. That put it on the map for people maybe? But Magnus looks like it appeared in the top 1000 the same year...there was a lovable elderly character named Mags in Hunger Games 2, and apparently that came out the year both names appear in the top 1000...
Stylistically, it also seems the intersection between popular names like Savannah, Scarlett, Jackson and trending names like Rowan, Willow, Hazel, Juniper, Dahlia.

It was already popular in the SSA charts from 1800s up until the 1940s. It came back around 2013 and shot way up to the 300's. There's a U.S. TV house makeover show, Fixer-Upper that ended a year or two ago, with a family from Texas who own a company called Magnolia farms and redecorates people's houses. It was a huge hit, and I think it may be one of the reasons why Magnolia became popular. Im not exactly sure, though.
