Lavender as in the plant and color is a nature name that is rarely used in novels though I have seen it a few times. I like the name and the Lavender plant. It would be a good name for an Elf or Fairy as well as for a normal character. I have used it as the name of a secondary characters child. The character I used it for is a Fairy.
