Re: Petunia
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
I like lots of flower names.
My favorite is Lily, as you probably know. I also like Rose.
I have a soft spot for Posy. It's so pretty. I also like Peony and I do like Primrose.
Petunia makes me think 100% of the Harry Potter character. I do not think of Tuna at all. It doesn't really have nicknames that work, Nia is too far fetched. The Harry Potter character at least came to her senses towards the end, so it isn't that bad. I was actually always kind of fond of Dudley because he was such a victim of his parents's bad upbringing and I find it sort of admirable that in the end he was able to see the good in Harry and that they stayed in touch.
So, yes, usable.
