Flower Names Changing Fashions - Flower Names Rose, Daisy,Poppy, Pansy, Primrose, Tansy, Violet, Bluebell, Iris, Myrtle ... . Do you think that hippies brought the vogue for flower names? No. In fact, the ones who were crazy about these names were the Victorians. In the late 19 th century in Britain, it was very fashionable to have a flower name. The mood for the delicate, simple and graceful flower names was maybe a reaction against the ravages of the Industrial Revolution. Some of the flower names, like Pansy or Daisy, date back to the Victorian age. Others are older, but they became popular in Britain at the end of the 19 th century. Not all flower names were equally trendy. For one reason or another, a name like Rose was preferred to Bluebell, far less used than many other flower names. Some are still well-used nowadays, others are given as a second name. Flower names lost popularity in the "Golden Twenties", when it seemed they were no longer in tune with the vibe of the dynamic Jazz Age.
