HelpRe: Begonia and other unusual flower names
in reply to a message by Joiya
I like the image of Peony, but I hate that when mumbled or misheard it could sound like "pee on me." Similar story with Poppy...I just think of zits and poop. And Lotus, its the name brand of a feminine hygiene product. Lastly, Orchid, which comes from a term for testes.
I like Dahlia but can't get the image of the Black Dahlia out of my head, so thats a no go.
I like Magnolia and could actually see it in use.
Other flowers I like are ranunculus, anemone, hydrangea, allium, mums, freesia, gardenia, and amaranth. I guess I could see Anemone, Hydrangea, Allium, Freesia, and Gardenia being used, but probably not by me.
1) I can see it working if you really love it. Then ending is what makes it usable, as there are other -ia names.
2) Nope, not that I can think of. I like tree names for boys.
3) See above.
