Help[Opinions] Re: Tupelo
in reply to a message by kaytedee
This is a regional thing I guess, but I immediately think of Tupelo Honey restaurants (I looked them up, and they only seem to exist in a few places in Virginia and North Carolina). I also do think of tupelo honey as a food product.
If those aren't factors where you live, then yeah, I agree it'd be a fun sounding flower/tree name. A little out there like Oleander and Topaz but interesting...it sounds like Tula (masculine) and Maipelo (feminine), both of which I've encountered IRL and thought were cool. Although it's still Southern seeming because of the Mississippi association (so if someone minded that, they might not want to use it)? Like Magnolia maybe.
And there is clover honey and maple syrup, which doesn't stop me from vaguely liking Clover or Maple, so I guess if I saw Tupelo in more contexts I could warm to it more...I'd already like Tupelo as a name better than Cypress.
