Help[Opinions] Re: Plum
in reply to a message by Starving Artist
Food names are different than floral names, for me. Names that bring to mind eating have a sexual overtone that worries me.
There are some food names that I like, (Clementine, Ginger) but usually they have more than one association. And I have no problem with a name from another culture whose name means a food (Prunella = plum, Afanen = raspberry).
But the obvious, in-my-face "eat me" names like Plum and Apple are still difficult for me to like.
I know a woman who named her dd Plum.

I actually have a young relative named Persimmon. I don't know if it's an idea that came to them, or they know another child so named.
As it's a less common fruit,(at least for me)it sits a bit better than Apple and Plum.

Huh. I wouldn't have associated food and sex, to be honest, although it makes sense now that it's mentioned.
