Well, the Oenone thread made me think of an old favourite: Peony.

Not usable, right? Or do you think it is not as obvious? Middle name?

The other P-flower names I love are Posy and Poppy.

Bullies would have a field day with it I expect

They are my favourite flower.

But the name is a very short walk to “pee on me”.

So of all the flower names, I’d say this is one of the least usable, sorry

Yeah, this. A stunning flower but doesn’t work well as a name at all.

Poppy, peony and petunia are names of three sisters in a famous children's book and I can't for the life of me remember which one.
It's a very pretty name. There is also primrose which is quite nice.

I don't think it reslly works as a name. Maybe as a middle?

dwightschrutebeets · 06/05/2023 02:12

I love posy

I LOVE Peony. Peonies are one of my favourite flowers and such a pretty sound. I also like Posy, but I think Poppy seems a bit drab in comparison. I also like Primrose, while on the topic of P flower names (and I have a Pandora cherry blossom too, which another one I love).

EatTheDamnCake · 05/05/2023 22:54

I like Posy short for Primrose

Gowlett · 05/05/2023 22:52

Somebody (like my MIL) would say Pee-Owny.

Threesmycrowd · 05/05/2023 22:50

Not a goer for me!

PickledScrump · 05/05/2023 22:48

I think it’s actually quite nice. Pea is a cute nn too

Enko · 05/05/2023 22:44

Also like Tansy. Not so Greek though 😁just another more unusual flower name
