I love flower names as well....but gosh, whoever was named Viola would have so much trouble in Spain or other Spanish-speaking countries...because one of the meanings (and the first one people think of, more than the second of the musical instrument) of that word is "rapes". >.< Viola-->Violeta in Spanish, to avoid that nasty confusion and make it a flower.
oh my, that could indeed be troublesome! I actually thought of it the other day. There are people in Sweden named Love and Gun, which would probably become troublesome too when involving English >_>
