Where did your name come from?

Something I always hated about my name — the one I didn’t choose myself — is that it’s the name of a plant with flowers.

Almost all names related to flowers are girl’s names.

They are pretty, easy to grow having roots so that they are stable where they are and live as long as there’s sun and water.

And they can never be more than that.

It’s normal for parents to hope for only stability and sufficiency for their baby girls, right?

Or do they also expect them to fly?
