# Hi guys! I need some names for my new babies! I really like relating…

_Publié par Terryn le 2025-04-28_

Hi guys! I need some names for my new babies! I really like relating my plants name to the actual plant. For example, my “elephant ear” alocasia is named Dumbo and my money tree is name Penny. But for these two I can’t think of anything \& I need help!!

Wish I could think of cool names like you did with Dumbo/Penny. All mine are boy names 😂

Thanks! Since she’s a Chinese money plant I wanted to relate her name to my money tree but the only thing I can think of is “coin” and I don’t like that

#### Gaileen Joy ha respondido el 2025-04-28

How about Yen? Isn’t that the name of Chinese money? Just an idea.

#### Terryn ha respondido el 2025-04-28

That’s such a good idea but according to google “yen” is the name for Japanese currency. Thank you for the comment though!!

### Grandma2aDancer a commenté le 2025-04-28

“Yuan” is the Chinese equivalent of Yen. The first currency dated in China was during the Shang Dynasty-so maybe “Shang”?

Rihanna for the Umbrella Tree

#### Terryn ha respondido el 2025-04-28

I literally had this exact thought!

### Grandma2aDancer a commenté le 2025-04-28

If I ever have a money plant, I’d name it Mushu.  
Maybe I want to get a money plant just so I can name it Mushu😂

### Roro a commenté le 2025-04-28
