Hi KBDB! Well I wouldn't assume that passionfruit makes someone more passionate... The idea is just wrong? If getting more passionate is what you want I can help with that;) First of all do stuff you normally don't like to do. If you force your body and mind to love a hated effort you will soon get used to it and thus you will generally be more passionate in other things aswell.
I hope this'll help ya!
Kind regards,

Ignoring the pun, which others have addressed.
Passiflora = (latin) passio + flora
That could be one interpretation. Or that it makes one suffer. (Etymological reference to the flower's resemblance to a crown of thorns seems to me a tad more likely.)
It's good in moderation, but there's this statement: "Still larger doses of passion flower extract causes hallucinations, convulsions, and vomiting. Oral doses of 250-350 mg will produce distinct psychotic symptoms, full of hallucinations, followed by pronounced central nervous system depression. Hence, passion flower is sometimes used as a mild hallucinogen. The ancient Aztecs reportedly used passionflower as a sedative and pain reliever."
Haven't found any maximal consumption warnings about the fruit, "but all in moderation".
