Peonie

[FriggFRIGG]

Old English spelling of 'Peony'

Unusual flower name....too frilly?

Thoughts?

[RooneyMara]

It's beautiful in theory but does make me think of pee. So sorry

It looks lovely written down though

(this from someone who dreamed about caling twin girls Celery and Violet)

[hatebeak]

I can see it's appeal but it's unfortunately a bit too penile/urinary for comfort, I think. Sorry.
Peony isn't quite as bad for some reason, but still, same problems apply.

[hatebeak]

Bad apostrophe there, so maybe my opinion should be discounted anyway!

[sugarandspite]

She will be forever known as Pee On Me.

Please don't do it!

[Alisvolatpropiis]

It's an unusual flower name to give a girl for a reason.

[FriggFRIGG]

Ahh,see,and thats why you must ask MN first

I knew there must've been a reason it was rare....pee-on-me did not occur to me...

[louisoscar]

I also can't help but think of 'pony' when I read it which is slightly less bad but also not a connotation you probably want...!

[squoosh]

Too frilly? Nope, too penisy.

Seriously, you cannot name your child Peonie!

[printmeanicephoto]

Too weeish for me too

[Viviennemary]

No. The nicknames will be horrific.

[MolotovCocktail]

It's a fabulous word; I adore the flower.

But yes, poor chick will be known as 'Pee On Me'

[Polkadotfanatic]

My favourite flower and a beautiful looking word, but, as everyone else says -as a name...it lends itself to unfortunate nicknames.

How about Posy...gorgeous :)

[botandhothered]

It's Peonia in Spanish. Would that be better? Pronouced pee on ee ah. In English would be pronounced pee own ee ah?

[kerala]

"Pee on me" didnt occur to you because you are not a 6 year old boy but your DD will be spending time with them so....dont do it!

[bamboostalks]

What about Leonie?

[HenriettaTurkey]

Peonie = pee on me
Peonia = pee on ya.

Such a shame but there it is...

How about Paloma or Naomi? They have the same feel IMO.

Alternatively there are lots of beautiful floral names out there.

Although I'd avoid clematis too

[FriggFRIGG]

I like Paloma

[ripsishere]

Good. Sense has prevailed.

[PickledInAPearTree]

I thought pee on me too.

Glad I'm not the only one with such a dirty mind!

[OkayHazel]

Posie/Posy instead?

[lottiegarbanzo]

A friend pronounced this flower as pee-nee, which just sounded like weeny penis I'm afraid.

[squoosh]

Paloma is lovely.
