Justin and I just got back from the pot souq, where we bought a peace lily, an aloe vera, and a plant of uncertain species. Of these, the peace lily is "mine" -- it seems the one I'm least likely to kill off through neglect.

So, now I have to name my plant! I think this is probably a good time for me to use one of those funky names Justin won't let me put on our hypothetical baby name list: Vlad, or Dominic, or Tabitha, or Agamemnon. Or maybe, since it's a peace lily, I should go for a peace-related name. Irene? Casimir? Absalom? Axl?

If you have a great name for a peace lily, let me know! Here's a picture, in case that helps. :-)

Well, my name, Susan, means lily, but "Sue the Lily" just might not cut it.

If it was a bush, I'd say go for complete irony and name it George - but on second thought, that would probably kill it...

Absalom. For no reason whatsoever except of all the names you named, that one stood out. :)

My albuterol inhaler is named Vlad. I thought you'd want to know.

Hmmmm

My first inclination would be to name it Passiflora, but considering that this is the actual name for Passion Flower / Fruit, this might be a wee-bit confusing. The cynic in me says that anyone believing in Peace in the Middle-East must be running a fever. So this being a Lily, you could call it... Delilirium

I dunno, it just looks like an Agamemnon to me.

It is the one on the right, isn't it? If it's the one on the left, it looks more like a Tabitha.

For the plant of indeterminate species, you could go for the obscure game reference: Chuck the Plant.

(Otherwise, Casimir has a nice sound to it.)

You could name it Gandhi. But then it might start refusing water or something...
