I don't like this name. It sounds dowdy and old-ladyish. It also reminds me of Petunia Pig (Porky Pig's wife or girlfriend if I recall correctly). If anyone is considering this name for their daughter- no, just no. It might be okay for a small dog, though.

It sounds too similar to 'spitoon' for me. Then there's Petunia from Harry Potter. A lovely flower, a horrid name.

I doubt people are going to be put off this name by the children's 'Harry Potter' series. Not everyone cares for that book enough to know the names of all of the characters. Petunia is a fine name.

I think this name is too comical and unattractive for a person. In my opinion it would make a good name for a pet. I picture a little yippy dog or a pet rat when I hear this name. :)
