Aiyana is kind of a flower name. It means eternal bloom. I think it’s a beautiful name. I was going to name my daughter aiyana.

Flower names that I think are gorgeous but less common than Daisy/Rose/Lily etc:

Iris (it is a flower but also means "rainbow", which is really sweet. It has an old fashioned charm to it but is now recognised as a fresh, spunky name. Although more people are naming their children Iris than a few years ago, it won’t get anywhere near as popular as your other flower names. It’s also a great song by the Goo Goo Dolls, all the more reason why Iris is a great choice).

Ivy (I know it’s not a "flower" name per se but it is a gorgeous name. It may give bad connotations with "poison Ivy" but it’s just a simple but gorgeous name with a lot of character. It’s bound to get some attention, though, after BeyoncĂ©’s baby girl was named Blue Ivy).

Calla (a type of lily, Calla is a very different and distinguished choice for a baby girl. It means "beautiful", which is a great meaning. I think this would be the best choice as it’s less common and you can also call her Callie as a nickname, which is very cute).

Acacia (very cute nickname option- Cacie. I think Acacia is very nice, although it does have the meaning "t[removed] tree").

Violet (along with Iris, Violet is fast gaining popularity. Spunky, vintage and cute, it’s the name of one of Jennifer Garner’s daughters and a child at my son’s nursery).

Marguerite (they look like a daisy but bigger, these flowers are very striking. Marguerite is less popular because it has that old-fashioned feel without feeling as "vintage" and "spunky" as Iris and Violet. Marguerite is a variant of Margaret, meaning "pearl". Nickname options could be Maggie or Rita).

Jacinta (Spanish word for Hyacinth. It’s a cute name, very different and refreshing from the common Jessica. A cute nickname would be Cindy).

Ianthe (an unusual name from Greek mythology, Ianthe is somewhat attractive. It means "purple flower". Somewhat problematic when it comes to spelling and pronunciation, though).
