Daphne or Primrose - sister for Violet

[dapperflapper]

2 days overdue - sweep this morning - as yet no effect...been checking out sweep threads
dh and I have pretty much decided on Daphne if stubborn little bump is a girl
but I recently stumbled across the thread about Primrose - have (annoyingly) rather fallen in love with it - and now I'm throwing it in as a wild card.
Which do you prefer as a sister for Violet?
If you prefer Primrose, is it too twee with or a charming complement to Violet?
My last call...

[belgo]

Primrose and Daphne are both terrible.

What about:
Delpine
Zinnia
Rosemary

if you want to stick with the nature theme.

[belgo]

I mean Delphine

[BlueChampagne]

Too twee for me, but good luck!

[Tortoiseonthehalfshell]

I'm not keen on the whole idea of a naming 'theme', to be honest, but if you have to go with all flower names, Daphne is a bit more subtle. A better name all round, actually, I'd stick with Daphne.

[MmeLindor.]

Daphne

primrose is terrible, sorry and even more twee when paired with Violet.

[PorkChopSter]

Out of the two suggestions, I'd go with Daphne.

Primrose and Violet are a bit meh as if you have a thing about purple flowers.

[dapperflapper]

but aren't primroses yellow porkchop?

[Scholes34]

Daphne is definitely the more subtle one to choose.

[nometime]

Neither, the shortenings aren't great, Daph or Prim! How about

Iris
Zinnia
Willow
Hebe

[PiaFedora]

Delphine or hebe -lovely with Violet

[dapperflapper]

thank you for your other suggestions, but none hit the spot

like Delphine but not love enough - have a bit of a problem with the 'ine' ending
Rosemary - bit boring
Zinnia - like - very lively and zesty - but not overly keen on names ending in 'a' - too classic/Latin/conventional-sounding for my taste - my name ends with it, as a mn perhaps (but with neither Daphne or Primrose)
Iris - lovely but too popular now
Willow - pretty sounding but not retro enough - Willow Smith
Hebe - OK - but just no

[belgo]

Hazel?
Thyme?

[dapperflapper]

I still prefer Daphne or Primrose belgo, I'm not really looking for other suggestions, just which you would prefer....

[PiaFedora]

dapper - sprry but Daphne will always be the lass from Scooby Doo to me and Primrose and Violet sound like you're trying to reinact Fifi and the Flowertots in real life.

[nometime]

Sage
Clover
Fleur
Heather
Lilac
Marigold
Xeni

[dapperflapper]

I do like Lilac and Marigold from your list nometime!

but Lilac and Violet? [Sceptical]
dh likes Fleur but for me - nope sorry
Heather....dull
Clover - a cow
Sage - not keen on herbs like Thyme, Sage, bit hippy sounding - sorry!


Marigold is lovely, though!

[smother]

Stick with Daphne. It's far nicer.

Violet and Primrose is too flowery - and personally I really don't like the name Primrose because of the 'Prim' bit. What about using Primrose as a middle name if you like it that much?

Daphne Primrose.
Daphne Jean.
Daphne Joy.
Daphne Pearl.
Daphne Ines.
Daphne Vita.
Daphne Vera.

sorry, getting side-tracked... good luck!!!!

[PatriciatheStripper]

Daphne is nicer, not so obviously flowery. Isn't it mythical, wasn't she a Greek nymph or something like that?

[JanMorrow]

daphne is lovely.

[exoticfruits]

If you have a Violet keep off Primrose-too flowery.
I don't like Daphne either I'm afraid.

[HerRoyalNotness]

All I can hear in my head is Daff-Neeeeeee. Based on that, I'd go for Primrose.

I met a little Dhalia the other day, that's quite cute.

[singersgirl]

Daphne. It's much more elegant than Primrose and looks interesting. It's less obviously floral. And I really don't like the 'prim' part of Primrose.

I've also recently got to know a Daphne and she's a warm and wonderful person, so I'm probably biased.

[dolceebanana]

I love the name Daphne...I also love the name Nancy...

[DooinMeCleanin]

Primose and Violet are little Flowertot friends aren't they?

[DooinMeCleanin]

here They live together in a little flower thing. Just something to bear in mind.
