I heard this on a woman the other day. I thought it was interesting. Am not considering for a name myself just wondered what you all think? Could it work in a class full of Violets, Daisies, Rosie's and Dahlias or is it odd like Tulip or Hibiscus?

I like it. But then I also like Anemone and Narcissa.

TheCraicDealer · 24/06/2014 18:19

Initially didn't like it because it sounds a little bit lentil weavery, but the sex position thing brings it up to a whole new level of aw-hell-no.

FellReturneth · 24/06/2014 18:20

I didn't think cars or sex I just though beautiful Lotus flower. I like it. a bit happy and wacky, but I think it's a real grower.

Rhubarb Anemone and Naricissa are beautiful. but you couldn't really, could you? Confused Especially not after MNing for a few years, I could never view the Narc word in the same way again!

HaroldLloyd · 24/06/2014 18:20

No, sorry.

FellReturneth · 24/06/2014 18:20

Hippy, not happy.

CatsCantTwerk · 24/06/2014 18:20

I own a Lotus so when I think of it I just think 'Car' not flower.

Taffeta · 24/06/2014 18:20

Biscuit you get with coffee, innit.

HaroldLloyd · 24/06/2014 18:21

She would probably be nn Lottie I would have thought if your after something different that might be a pain.

I didn't think of sex you FILTHY ANIMALS

Taffeta · 24/06/2014 18:21

...and Lotus spread is not a good image

mupperoon · 24/06/2014 18:31

It's also a European brand of toilet paper, unfortunately.

I actually quite like it, especially because of the link to the car brand (although Lotus F1 are doing pretty badly at the moment). But I'd hate to take my child on holiday and then have to wipe their bum with their namesake.

Isn't the lotus position just a meditation position, not a sex position?

burgatroyd · 24/06/2014 18:35

Yaaaaal filthy!

Bums and sex positions!!!

I deal with someone for business purposes every now and then who's a Lotus. Makes me think she's a nutty hippy I'm afraid.
