Re: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Joiya
1. I think it would be an ok name. I personally like the sound of it, but I think to the non-namenerd the Beg- part could be off-putting. However, it will at least be generally recognizable.2. Actually use, no. But like hypothetically: Jonquil, Delphinium, and Rose3. Again, none I would consider in real life, but some I do like. But right now, along with the ones mentioned above, I can only think of Baptisia (f).

I thought it might be off-putting as well... however I asked the pickiest (well, second pickiest) person I know, my mother. She loved it! In fact, she may have been the one to suggest it at one point. I happen to like the odd clunk of 'Beg' and might even consider Bego or Bega as a nickname. Though, I am sure Nia would be the more appropriate nickname choice. I don't know... I am just crushing on Begonia right now. Jonquil would be great on a boy. Rose would be unexpected, but I think I could handle it. Baptisia is darling.
