My friend's surname is Bloom. If she called her DD Bloom I would certainly PMSL.

I'd be afraid it could be a sanitary towel or an air freshener or a fabric softener one day. It really has that vibe about it.

Makes me think of "algal bloom" which is where algae grow all over a river and make it look green and sludgy.

I'd say if you're in love with it, put it in the middle spot. I can't see it working as a first name...
