Hmmm, sorry I can't help - I personally don't know of any plants that carry those names.
There are hosta with names like Barbara, Brenda's Beauty, Emily and Shirley.
Isn't there a Shirley Poppy?
Neat idea, hope you get all your plants with the family names before christmas. !
I don't think I have any of those names.
check out dayliles.

I have seeds for the pink Shirley Poppy "venus"..........altho it is an annual, it reseeds quite easily, with or without help. They make a wonderful filler around your other plants and help tie the beds together. Here is what they look like http://davesgarden.com/guides/pf/showimage/203363/
please send me a D~mail with your info if you are interested.
