In the baby name realm, Calla is often seen as a nickname for the Greek Callista, meaning “beauty.” Gardners will quickly equate it to the gorgeous fluted flower, the calla lily.

Roosevelt

Quickly associated with the 26th U.S. President, Theodore Roosevelt, this strong name has the romantic meaning of “rose field.”

Watson

Inspired by the stunning Watsonia flower, this distinguished Scottish surname means “son of Walter.”

William

Brought to our list by the ornamental flowering plant known as the Sweet William, the title has an even better meaning of “resolute protector” and “desire.” The flowers are so sweet, in fact, that Kate Middleton included them in her bridal bouquet when she married Prince William in 2011.
