So is Ivy, "Posion Ivy". Ivy is an acceptable name, so Oleander should be as well. It's NMS but it get's my vote.Oleander = boy for me.

Ivy itself is not poisonous. It's a vine. A rather pretty one. Poison Ivy is a different plant than Ivy itself, so a person named Ivy is not taking her name from the harmful variety. Although I agree, I don't think the fact the plant is poisonous matters much; I don't know how many people even know that off the top of their heads about oleander. That said, I just don't like the sound of it as a girls' name.
