Herbs as Siamese Cat Names
Herbs as Siamese cat names? Perhaps you don't care about colour matching a name to your cat but prefer instead to use a romantic-sounding herbal or medicinal plant name, so popular in past centuries.
Yes, and as you read the list you'll see that a huge number of these names are or have been very common names for girls and women.
Medicinal plants and herbs have a long and often controversial history. For those that would like to learn more about the uses of these plants Herbalnet is a great place to start. But be warned - some of the greatest sounding names can have less glamorous medicinal uses. The Joshua Tree, for example, has a past use for treating venereal disease. Don't let this put you off because this special compilation can't fail to please.
