So far, I have Magnolia, Rose, Violet/Violeta, Petunia, Lily, and Daisy for English, though Violeta is Albanian, Bulgarian, Greek, Lithuanian, Romanian, Serbian, Spanish, and Portuguese according to the Wikipedia.

For Vietnamese there are quite a lot. Many flowers and names in Vietnam have multiple syllables which change the meaning of mono syllabic words and would take too long to list them out. That's why I'm gonna only list monosyllabic and common female names here:

Đào - Peach flower
Mai - Ochna integerrima
Cúc - Chrysanthemum
Liên - Lotus
Hồng - Rose
Hoa - Flower
Lan - Orchid
Huệ - Lily
Phượng - Delonix regia
