She’s deeply symbolic – and disarmingly pretty, too.
Thanks to Sophie for suggesting Acacia as Name of the Day.

It’s nice to see some people with appreciation for that name. Everyone always pronounced it wrong when I was in school.
I prefer the standard English pronunciation of (uh-KAY-shuh). In Greek, its pronounced (ah-KAH-kee-ah), which I don’t find quite as appealing.
Thanks for the NotD!
I adore the name, but hate the plant. 🙂 I just find her very spunky and rather unexpected. If we have another, I might make the unintentional flower theme with my girls names intentional by working Acacia in somewhere. Or Dahlia! I love flower names, really. I’d really love to meet a little Acacia -so very refreshing, as I’m getting a bit tired of Lily. It’s time for a new flower 🙂
Hey!
May I suggest Rosemary for name of the day?
Thanks!
Lovely. The symbolism, the fact that it’s botanical, and it’s just so pleasant sounding. I had no idea that Acacia was the same plant as wattle. This is another facet of Acacia’s appeal – using her would be a very very subtle nod to my Aussie heritage. I already know a really cute little Acacia, and would be thrilled to meet some more! 🙂
What a beautiful name! I love all the symbolism. I’ll have to remember to recommend this one to others often.
