My hubby and I picked out girl names that mean flower but I want middle names any suggestions and do you like the names? Surname is Bosque sounds french but not pronounced like it. Thank You to all P.S note I would like to pick first names that are easy to pronounce in spanish for my parents and inlaws they speak and understand english but I want names that don't sound ridiculous in spanish thanks.

Good suggestion, R - Our daughter is Daisy Grace! I think flower names are beautiful - really feminine and pretty.
These lovely old-fashioned flower names are coming back, but paired with a really modern middle name, they might sound silly. Try to stick with fairly traditional names like Ruby, Anne, Adelaide, Beth, Edie etc. Think of names that women of your grandmother or great grandmother' era might have had.
Also, maybe pair it with "virtues" names like Hope, Faith, Verity, Prudence, Grace.
EDIT: please note that the flower is spely D-A-H-L-I-A with the A in the middle.
Out of the ones you mentioned, I like Dalia Danae.
Personally, I would scrap Jasmine because of the Disney princess, though. If you like the jasmine flower in particular, maybe consider the French version, Jessamine/Jessina. Maybe Jessamine Estella? Some other ideas for you:
I'm not sure how it's pronounced in Spanish, but I love Ianthe. It's Latin for 'violet', so it's still a flower name, but more unusual. Ianthe Penelope, maybe?
My favorite "girl flower names" are Dalilah or Iris! I think they're both adorable. Also, both go very well with your last name. As far as the first name being easily pronounced by your Spanish-speaking parents and in-laws, I think Iris would probably be easier to pronounce than Delilah. More easily than Iris would be Violet/Violette though. But, just make sure you name your baby the name you love! Don't just name it something you only like 'cause it's easier to pronounce - your parents and in-laws can learn!!! :o)
