Re: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Joiya
1) I've always thought begonia was a goofy sounding word, so I don't like it as a name. My cousins and I used to make dirty jokes about peonies and begonias, which I realize as an adult didn't make much sense, but we thought were dead funny at the time.

2) There are some tree & herb names that I like for boys, but no flower names. 3) I like Jonquil, Magnolia, Tulip, Bryony, and Clover, plus a couple non-specific botanicals like Blossom, Flora, and Petal. I also like Pansy, but it's probably the most unusable name here.

I like Clover too. I often wonder if it really is usable or too cutesy for real life. In any case... I can see your subtle Peony and Begonia point. I think Peonies would be the likelier to be seen by others as a joke. Begonia is kinda goofy though. I am stubbornly still loving it.
