Yeah?  Flower and jewel names were very popular with the upper classes in late Vic and Edwardian England and began to filter down to the working class.. names like Lily and Violet and Rose (all names of servants in Upstairs Downstairs TV series for example).  the QM's mother was very keen on them and had at least 3 daughters who had flower names.  Jewel names were also popular, Diamond was used for some upper class babies born in te Diamond Jubilee Year.. other jewel names were Ruby, Pearl, Opal, etc
