Why didn't they just name her Schnookums? Petal bears too many connotations to "losing your petal" and that petty dandelion pluck fest, "He loves me. He loves me not." How about something stronger and weirder like Hathor? I dunno'.

I really love the names that Jamie Oliver and his wife have chosen for their girls. Not sure why but I do.

Bruce Lansky is an idiot.  His book is ridiculous. It was so awful, I didn't even get around to looking up potential baby names.  First, I looked up the names of friends and family, including my own.  The ONLY name that he didn't seem to hate - Jason. Jason is a nice name, but every boy can't be named Jason!  (He may have liked John too.)

He doesn't deserve to be published.  Buy The Baby Name Wizard instead.  

Neither Daisy nor Poppy is THAT weird. They are just less common flower names. I had a friend named Daisy when I was young.  Daisy is also an old fashioned nickname for Margaret.

Poppy is not common in America, but is much more common in the UK.  Perhaps it is the accent.

Petal is unusual, but not so strange considering other (now common) nature choices like River or Summer.  

Perhaps if they had a boy, they would have named him Basil!

Nah, a boy would have been Ranunculus.

He's from the UK....what's cool there and what's cool here are different.  Their operating rooms are theatres over there.  

I like his daughters names.  Cute.  Sounds like he should have been a hippy, but they are cute.
