Marigold is the name of a character in a lovely book by L.M.
Montgomery - Magic for
Marigold. I don't know if I would use it, but it is a pretty name and I can't get rid of the pleasant association with the book.
At the beginning of the book, the whole extended family is debating over what name to give the new baby. It's interesting how they ended up settling on
Marigold. (If you want to know more, read the book! Don't I sound like I should be on Reading
Rainbow?) :)
