[Opinions] Re: Hyacinth
in reply to a message by Mareasi
I love it. I have noticed through the internet, as is apparent in this thread, that it's very tied to Keeping Up Appearances in the U.K. I'd never heard of that before and I'm not sure how widespread recognition of that show would be in the U.S., but it would probably be enough to deter me from using it anyway in the event that a future child named Hyacinth may want to one day visit or even move to the U.K. It's a shame, because I think it's an absoluteley awesome name otherwise. Even though I would definitely use it on a girl were I to ever use it, I love that it's a flower name derived from a male saint, because floral names for boys don't seem to be very common at all. Also, as corny as this sounds, I think it could be a cute, interesting way to honor a Cynthia.
