babynames | (no subject)

I'm not big on naming kids after colors (Blue-i actaully know a guy named Blue, Violet, Hunter etc..) but as far as those types of names goes, I think it's pretty.

Um. It would make me think of Gormenghast, and the nickname fucks-yer. Because kids are cruel. Sorry.

Beautiful flower, lovely colour, potentially dodgy as a first name. :(

How about Brown?

Ick, I don't like it at all.

I don't like it at all.

I'm not a fan.

oh no.

I think it is cute.

Not too crazy about it.

Not a good idea

eh. i think it sounds like one of those crazy celebrity baby names.

i think of bath and body works.

and are you sure you spelled it right?

> and are you sure you spelled it right?

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.

At least the spelling is correct though :)

Its one of my favourite flowers, but agreed, dodgy as a first name.

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

I like it. It's reminds me of the name, Molly Blue.

Lavender.. Violet etc. ='s ok.. but Fuschia =/ Some colors just shouldn't be names. IMO I don't even think Fuschia sounds that pretty. Sorry.

ew, I don't like it.

very different, but funky. i think its kinda cute.

reminds me of magenta from rocky horror picture show.

There was this movie with Dudley Moore and John Lithgow called "Santa Claus" and they have these candy things and they call the color Puchsia (pronounced pew-sha) either a mix of pink and fuchsia or purple and fuchsia (haven't seen the movie in years) and that is what the word makes me think of. Not such a good association for me.
