Is Plum a proper name or just a nickname for something? Anyone know. Is it cute or too much?

Well, that's told me! I do know a Plum, or at least know of a Plum and she is in her 60's. Must ask her where it comes from. My husband really likes it.

I love it

I love it but would never use it - setting a child up for utter ricicule unfortunately great NN for something though

It's a proper name for a fruit and a slang term for a testicle.

NEVER call any child a name that can be described as 'cute'. Cute is fine until you are about 5 - then you want to be taken seriously some of the time.

Its a bit peaches geldoff, could be quite cute, like pixie.

A plum is a proper name for a small purplish fruit. That's about it!

Sorry, it's really not my idea of a nice name.
