Lavinia----shrub or ?

[Comerscroft]

I knw floral names are all the rage but a neighbour's daughter has just named her little girl 'Lavinia'.

They hope that she will be called 'Vinnie' rather than the more obvious shortening.

Poor kid. I can already hear it in the classroom/playground as 'Miss.... Lavie needs the lavvy'.

Unfortunate choice IMO.

love it

sounds like an interestingly unfortunate cross between "lavatory" and "vagina" to me.

hannah

and labia..

and Lochia is very pretty as well

I like it

shorten to Nia?

ehm yes if caught in a sanitary pad.what about candida if we are getting all organic

lochia = discharges from the vagina of mucus, blood, and tissue debris, following childbirth. [G. neut. pl. of lochios, relating to childbirth, fr. lochos, childbirth

Maybe they are Italian, or they love the Virgil. Lavinia is Aeneas' wife

their

Labia, Lochia AND Candida - ah - lovely

I went to school with someone called Lavinia.
