Peony as a middle name? Am I crazy or is it pretty?

I know a lovely (adult) Peony! Plus Penelope is very popular now and that name is shortened to P. Also like Pia

It sounds to close to ‘pee on me’/ ‘pee on knee’. I want to love it as it looks pretty written down but the pronounication of it makes it a bit of an awkward name imo.

Not for me, sorry.

First name! It's lovely.

They are beautiful flowers. I think it's fine for a middle name OP.

I like it as a middle name, and think its just perfect considering she is expected to be born in Peony season! So cute!
Not as a first name though, as said by pp I can imagine the 'Pee on me" jokes.

Why not?

I like it! I know one little girl called Penelope that everyone shortens to P so I don't think that kids would call her pee to be nasty.

Yes! There's a whole generation with Rose as a middle name so this seems like a genius twist on that. And gorgeous flowers!

Middle name fine, not first unless you want them to suffer "pee on me" all through school lol

GlamBump · 01/05/2018 09:47

For a middle name it's nice. Wouldn't for a first name though! Could just imagine some rugrat at school nicknaming them 'pee' lol xx

Pretty.

Anything goes for middle names!
