Parents in Japan are increasingly giving their daughters flower names, which have deep cultural significance and represent beauty and femininity. Popular choices include Sakura (cherry blossom), Kiku (chrysanthemum), Yuzu (citrus blossom) and Ayame (iris). Hanako (flower child), Hanae (flower bud) and Hanami (flower viewing) are also becoming more popular, as well as Satsuki (May), Shizuka (quiet beauty) and Yuki (snow). Parents often combine two or more flowers to create unique combinations, such as Hana-Momo which means “flower peach”. When choosing a name for their baby girl, parents should consider family history, cultural values, personal preferences etc.
