So... are we not updating the tag "Pokemon Characters?" Nobody noticed my comment about adding Honey to the list. Okay sorry about that tangent, back to the point. Peony is a man in Pokemon Sword and Shield. More specifically, he will be your guide to the Crown Tundra DLCAnd yes, Peony is a he. Pokemon names are weird sometimes.
I just updated the category to Pokemon Characters, sorry for the long wait.

The look of the name is rather strange to me and I dislike the way it is pronounced. Also, it sounds more fitting on a little girl rather than a grown woman.
I love a lot of flower names; Peony really shouldn't be one of them because: A. I don't really like peonies that much. B. It looks like peon followed by a Y But I... like it? Why? Maybe it's because it's so bad it's good. I don't know. All I know is that I would use it if it weren't for all the better flower names, like Daisy and Zinnia for example.
I know a very nice girl named Peony, and while, as a synaesthete, the colours are quite nice, I still quite dislike the sound of it. She pronounces it pee-O-nee.

A fellow synesthete! I quite enjoy the name. 'P' names are soft on the lips and usually bouncy and whimsical (one exception to the rule is 'Parker,' where the 'k' sound throws me off a bit) and they sound like smooth, connected violin strumming, and they are written in orchid calligraphy. Peony is much the same -- and so is Pansy, for that matter, despite its connotations. I enjoy flower names in general, though, so maybe that's just me.
I will not mislead and say that this is a cute, or even moderate, name. It simply will not fit into English speaking countries. Especially considering the pronunciation-- which unfortunately resembles "Pee-On-Me" a bit too closely for my taste. As a general rule: nature names have no place in the professional world. Meaning, it will not boost your career if you bear the title "Spring."
I often like flower names, and the Peony is a beautiful blossom.But as a name, this is horrible. I just can't get over the PEE sound at the start.I keep thinking the nickname for this will end up being Pee-pee.
I like the spelling, but the pronunciation is just horrible! I reminds me of someone peeing down their knee! But, peony is a scent from BATH AND BODY WORKS, and it smells SO GOOD! I have it on right now!
