Help[Opinions] Re: Magnolia...
in reply to a message by ALS81691
When I was younger (much, much younger) I thought Magnolia Jane would be the most beautiful name ever. I got the idea from a tree we bought for my mother for Mother's Day, which was called a (surprise!) Magnolia Jane.
In retrospect I see how taking the entire name of a plant would be a mistake when naming a child, but I don't think Magnolia is an atrocious name in and of itself. I like other names that are coincidentally the names of trees (Rowan, Linden, etc) or flowers (Violet, Rose, etc) and the association doesnt' spoil them for me. Personally I wouldn't use Magnolia on a real child but in theory or if other people take a liking to it I think it's alright.
Also: the most likely nickname that comes to mind is Maggie.
