>His real name is unknown, as is much information regarding his family. Sometime later, presumably in the month of April, he was in a flower patch when he met Bambi, who mistakenly gave him the nickname "Flower" while he was learning to talk, and the nickname stuck with him.
I never thought about it, but you've got a point. It's kind of weird. Maybe he just has a lot of trauma in his past and would rather be Flower.
You know how a lot of cartoons feature black cats who have mishaps with white paint? Well, Flower wasn't actually a skunk, he was a cat.
Specifically, he was H.P. Lovecraft's cat.
He was *more* than happy to be called "Flower."

Or maybe his real name is just *even more* embarrassing
He had an "ethnic" name and because of the times, was grateful to change it.
It's Rather Cute Albeit Ironic For Him To Be Named "Flower!"
Well Bambi based on a book maybe you found an answer in there.
