Something different from flora.
For those disapointed of not giving my child a name directely related to botany, the second name is (in all senses ! related to botany!
I was just going to state the second name of my girl, but i decided to do it in style... a sort of a game
_ _ _ _ _ _
Each dash represents a letter. As a little hint there is no letter X Y Z J K Q.
You can either fire the name or suggest a letter. One entry per time please (to make a bit of order)

Come on, are you all that too serious and not curious for the second name of Miranda ?
Here's a little help -
_ _ _ _ _ A
( The game is not that you have to guess the whole name but you have to shoot a letter and I say if it is there or not )

Some are too serious, some too funny
Nobody in 1 or 2 standard derivations within the mean! (Kidding pine of course!)
Gh is not there!

The only S is covered by a nappy (no S in the 2nd name)

Hehe nah! If we move to Sweden/Finland that would not be suitable anymore, apart it is terribly ugly name. Cheirolopha (...a ending for a girl) slightly nicer though.
No B for Brassica

Linnea, both for a Genus of plants much found in Northern countries and for the God Father of Botany, Carl Linneus (L.)
Great work Pine and Greenhorn, your dedication much appreciated!
Here is a pic for each from Miss Linnea.
