The best name for a plant

So, I was just looking up a genus of plants - Lemna, the duckweeds, and I discovered the very best common name for a plant, ever. The species is Lemna miniscula, which is also pretty good, but its common name is "Dinky duckweed." Honestly. I can't stop giggling. Marian says it's the perfect name for my firstborn.
