Is Magnolia a real name for a girl?

Technically, almost any floral name is fair game for use as a feminine name. And Magnolia is no exception. ;)





In fact, it was actually on the SSA's list of most commonly-given names nearly EVERY YEAR from 1880 to 1940! The only year it didn't make the list in that entire 60-year span was 1939. ;) So don't let anyone tell you it's not used as a name ... or that it shouldn't be. Check it out for yourself. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/cgi-bin/ba...





I'm sure the similarity to other feminine names, such as Margaret, Magdala and Magdalene, helps, as do the more familiar nickname possibilities -- Maggie, Molly, Nola, Mia, Lia, etc. Hope that helps! ;)

Reply:It's the name of a flower and a small town in Texas too. I would not consider it the name of a child and hope you do not either.
Reply:Yes. My sister-in-law's best friend named her daughter Magnolia Kate. Not my favorite, but she isn't my daughter and to each his own.

Reply:Magnolia is so pretty. You could call her Maggie.

It is a real name. Many flower names were popular in the Victorian era, and are coming back now. This is a rarer one!
