Petunia as a name?

I have three girls- 
Violet Paige
Sofie June 
Molly Camille 

and am hopeful we’ll have a fourth child soon so I’ve started thinking of names and cannot stop thinking about Petunia. 

If not, does Wilma Claire go with my girls names? 

What about boys? Eugene? Clifford? Amos?

    I think any of the boy names could work with Amos as my preference.

    I dislike Petunia.  Not sure why but it the sound of it feels nasal to me. Your other girls are all classic, familiar, shorter names with prettier sounds so I would not go with Petunia. Wilma also seems very odd with your group, and feels more matronly to me. Willa would be a better fit.

    I’m not a big fan of Petunia. It makes me think of Harry Potter’s aunt Petunia. I do love Philomena, which (to me) has a similar vintage vibe. I prefer Willa over Wilma.

    How do you feel about Caspian for a boy?

    What about Penelope?  Penny is a really cute nickname!!

    I also love Willa or Wilma with Claire as a middle name!

    I love Wilma because it would be after my grandmother who I was very close to that passed a few years ago.

    I do love all the ‘P’ names like Penelope, Priscilla, Poppy but I have friends who’ve used each of those names and I’d prefer them be unique. I like Phoebe but my husband does not…
