Plum

I love the fruit but I still wouldn't do that to a child.

Plums (the fruit) are tasty, but I can't imagine this being someone's name.
Sounds like plump or plumber, and kids would probably come up with "Dumb Plum."
(My name rhymes with an undesirable word , so I know that kids do come up with these things.)
As a middle name, I still think it sounds strange. First name or middle name... I'd rather be named after a beloved aunt, my mom's favorite book character, or an inspirational person, then a plum.

When I hear the name Plum I imagine a British upper class girl, maybe she's an editor at Vogue or Tatler. I'm not British so maybe Plum is not an upper class name at all, but that's my impression of it.

Sounds kind of glum.

I think this is a stupid name. It's a nice word, it's a tasty fruit, but it's not a baby name.

Combined with any other name in the middle (like Moon Unit Zappa's Matilda Plum), it just sounds silly, cutesy and like a character from a kids' book.

It sounds a bit silly to me

I'm not sure if this is just something I've encountered or if its a Brit thing, but you could say something like 'oh what a plum', meaning what a silly or foolish person. So I could never imagine this as a name!

Every time I see this, I think of the phrase “plumb crazy!”, even though the spelling and origin are obviously different. Probably better suited as a middle name. Not to disparage the choice, of course — it does sound quite wholesome.

I love it for a quirky middle. The (dreadful for a real person) combos Indigo Plum and Indigo Violet Plum have been stuck in my head for years but I haven't found a character to give one to yet.

In-my-opinion. :)

What does IMO stand for?

This would make a really cool middle IMO.

I can't see the appeal of using this fruit as a name, but okay...
