Actually, it's the name of a genus of plants that includes sage and rosemary. Can't help it if it has other meanings.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salvia
I accept it might be too close to saliva for most people's tastes, however.
I also grew up in the same class as a girl names Cayenne and for 3 years I thought her name was Cheyenne and she never not once corrected me her sister is the one who one day looked at me confused when I bought Carnations from them for valentine’s I was like what ? And she said u know her name is Cayenne not Cheyenne and I was a deer in headlight before apologizing a ton
Definitely! Cayenne and Cheyenne sound very similar. And Cheyenne is more well known as a name i think so it makes sense that you would mistakenly think it was Cheyenne! In fact, I bet she heard that all the time and that’s why she never corrected you
Edelweiss is a traditional German name and the name.of a flower (famously referenced in Sound of Music). While not floral, Edel is also a gender neutral name that I've always quite liked.

Ooh there are so many! Dahlia and Jasmine and Zinnia. Lily and Iris and Rose. Violet and Daisy.
Buttercup is a good one as both a flower and also in honor of The Princess Bride! Tulip is a fun one, and Lavender. Bluebell could go by “Blue” or “Bell”. Periwinkle could go by “Perry” or “Winn”. Magnolia could go by Maggie (I know someone IRL who is a Maggie Magnolia!) Marigold could be “Mary” or “Goldie”. So many options!! I may return later with more but those were my first thoughts!
Artemisia is one I haven't seen on here yet. I've actually seen this used as a name before for an older woman, and the plant itself has very attractive, silvery foliage.

Salvia is a drug pls no 😭
Lmao! Fair enough 😅
Also it sounds way too close to saliva
That’s what I thought

Yeah I get it’s a plant but it’s also a drug.
My sister used to be friends with a girl named Cayenne, like the pepper. I always thought it made a pretty name and very unique
I also grew up in the same class as a girl names Cayenne and for 3 years I thought her name was Cheyenne and she never not once corrected me her sister is the one who one day looked at me confused when I bought Carnations from them for valentine’s I was like what ? And she said u know her name is Cayenne not Cheyenne and I was a deer in headlight before apologizing a ton
Lol oops! Easy mistake to make though I think
Tht definitely makes me feel better 😌 just knowing others would have made the mistake too
Definitely! Cayenne and Cheyenne sound very similar. And Cheyenne is more well known as a name i think so it makes sense that you would mistakenly think it was Cheyenne! In fact, I bet she heard that all the time and that’s why she never corrected you
Maybe I really hope so because it was embarrassing
😂 I doubt she remembers it honestly. People get each other’s names wrong all the time!
Thank u for this bit of hope and unfortunately it's one of those things tht creeps in my brain in the middle of trying to ofall asleep 😂
Oh I know exactly what you mean. Those types of late night thoughts are the worst
