what's in a name?

I have recently and repeatedly found myself involved in a discussion about the naming of women's genitals. The consensus is that the conventional words for "down there", including "down there", are either harshly literal (vagina, crotch), universally offensive (cunt) or avoidant and shy (nether regions, private parts, did I mention "down there"). Allow me to shed some more light on a couple of those terms:

[krotch]: a forking or place of forking, as of the human body between the legs.
[neth.er re.gions]: the lowest or furthest parts of a place, esp. with allusion to hell or the underworld.

I think you see where I am going with this...it's time to get some tips to name our lips! Women tend to lean towards choosing names of flowers or fruits. Coincidently, flowers are the sex organs of plants ;) In fact, in botany, [va.gi.na] means the sheath formed by the basal part of certain leaves where they embrace the stem. Not bad ;)

The objective: to find a word that rolls off the tongue, is short (two syllables max) and sweet, not too literal and sounds sexy at the right times. Hmmm...

The results: This is what some women have come up with...
- clove
- tulip
- place
- weave
- almond
- peach
- bouche (you got it...accent on that last e)

I'm interested in taking this discussion to the next level, which means (a) unleashing it onto the world wide web and (b) asking a lot more women to get involved (feedback on successes or failures of attempting to implement said words are most definitely welcome).
