Research: Using Flower Names for Female Characters

I have several teaser stories written to promote my draft Boudica and The Butcher. For fun, I decided to try name the female characters after flowers. So, I asked three different AIs for a list of potential character names.

In the table below, I identify which AI listed each name. In addition, I noted for myself whether that name had already been used in one of those my stories, either a teaser or another one.

I really liked analyzing the results side by side to judge the AIs. I was surprised by Gemini, which I had stopped using because of its issues creating images and the stale data it used.

Prompt: For a series of short stories I am writing, I would like to name all the female characters after different flowers and is also considered a female first name. Please provide a list of potential names for that criterion.

Currently, I am a drafter and plodding editor of my own fiction stories. Looking towards the future when edited stories turn into published ones.

Here I am starting to bare my soul to give you a preview of what I have been working on.

See “Harvest of Blood” in this site’s menu bar for a preview of a draft chapter from Boudica and The Butcher, a novel set in a future Second American Civil War.
