when thinking up a name for my daughter, I once said I like flower names - someone suggested 'Pigface'
A helpful suggestion! People whose surname is Piggott often grow up bearing the name of Piggy. I can think of one Ida Piggott who broke out of Piggy to become Peggy for the rest of her life.
I like your idea though! There are so many flower names, and vegetables too. I'm very partial to Aubergine. Did you get your wish?
