Help[Opinions] Re: Petal
in reply to a message by Billina
It just doesn't have a nice sound. I think of "pedal" or "pedestal" or "pet". The weird thing is that despite its obvious meaning, when used as a name (and not in a context) it doesn't even really make me think of flowers. It seems more like a technical term or something. I know that Jamie Oliver has a daughter named Petal and I don't find it unusable. It is definitely usable, just not terribly attractive in my opinion.
I prefer pretty much any other flower name. I would put Petal into a category with Blossom and not so much with Lily, Violet, Poppy or Daisy. I also don't find Blossom attractive at all.
I would imagine someone who used Petal or Blossom mainly used it for the word-meaning. I can't imagine anyone actually finding the sound of Petal or Blossom attractive. They are both so clunky.
