Okay, this is probably just a crazy coincidence, but last night in my hotel room I was watching Coach Carter (movie with Samuel L Jackson) and he's doing drills, and he's comparing basketball to women. He says something along the lines of:

"And then there was Dahlia, my first love. ...that woman was EVIL. She used her little charms and convinced me to steal a bunch of brownies from the nearby church bake sale. Oh, she got off completely free. Me? I had to strap pillows to my ass for a month before I could sit down."

Yeah, it's probably just a crazy coincidence but I thought it was funny :P

No! My Nixxi-poo would never steal brownies!

You're welcome.

The only thing Dahlia and "The Black Dahlia" have in common is the fact that they are females.



However, it is still one of many possible "references" available for the name.

Similar color to Dahlia.

Also, the list here amused me. http://www.clareflorist.co.uk/meanings.asp

According to them, the Dahlia flower signifies "Dignity; Elegance; Good taste; Instability". Hahaha.

Another site says: "In the language of the flowers, depending on which source you use, the dahlia means gratitude, dignity, pomp, instability and misrepresentation."

All of these things contribute to the fact that it's a good, fitting name. :)

I guess women named Dahlia are inherently evil.
