well for starters, her or his teachers are going to have a hard time pronouncing it. as well as employers, doctors, and anyone else who reads it.

There is indeed an old lady from a British sitcom named Hyacinth. I really don't like the name - it fits into the same category as Myrtle and Maud. Yuk! (Sorry!!!) I like the name Isabella or Ophelia - tasteful and pretty.

I don't personally care for it. I think your daughter would have a hard time, having to pronounce it and spell it for everyone. There are plenty of alternatives, if you're leaning toward a floral name. Rose, Lily, Daisy, Iris, Ivy, Poppy, Violet, Rosemary and Holly, to name just a few.
It's different, but I think it's a little too different.

Bucket. (Boo - Kay, it's Boo-Kay!)
Nope... not for me, and terrible if Hyacinth becomes a fan of Brit-Coms - protagonist (and an especially annoying one at that) of Keeping Up Appearances.
Poor kid is going to be mocked if she becomes a Rhodes Scholar studying at Oxford. She'll probably go by Cindy just to try to normalize the name a bit.

I love it. I know a Hyacinth. It's appropriate for her. It's a flower, a beautiful at that. Knowledgeable folks will get it.

Yeah, that will always make me think of Hyacinth Bucket from "Keeping up Appearances" I think she had sisters Rose & Violet too!

I really, really don't like it. I'm assuming it's for a girl right? Try going with something else. I would stay away from names like:
Daisy, Lavender, ect.
Rose would be nice. It's a cute name. :)
ETA: I agree with ssjd3436, it does bring to mind a little old lady (in a knit sweater sitting around watching a british comedy.)

I don't like it. Isn't there an old lady on a British comedy named Hyacinth? That's what I think of when I hear it...an old lady.

its unique and interesting, although some people might think of it as an older lady name, it can be brought back. just like how i met a a kid named tracy......i always thought of it as a middle aged lady's name, but now think of it as an any age name. i would stay with hyacinth.

For a plant! Why not choose Thorn-Bush or Poison Ivy? Don't do it. She will probably change it later on in life.
