[Opinions] Re: Fuchsia
in reply to a message by Pie
Edge of GP territory IMO. Because of the blinding, hurts-your-teeth color, and the fact that since the flower is Fuchs-ia, pronouncing it FOOKS-ee-a is technically not incorrect. But it's familiar and namey enough, and easy enough to say, that it borders on usability too. I think it depends ... some people could carry it off. I think it'd be silly to use it as a middle name. If you're going to use it, it's sort of a statement - sort of bright and loud, like naming a girl Cherry or Scarlet, only more so. So put it out front without shame.
