She did (the flower was named in honor of someone with the last name Fuchs). But you point out an important drawback here, and that is that this word is a spelling challenge for most people. I would surely think twice about giving a child a name that would guarantee that she'd have to spell it out for people every time.

Oh yes, that's definitely how it's spelled. It was bred by a man named Fuchs.
