What does everybody think about the name 'Blossom' for a girl?

[blossomx]

What does everybody think? I love the name!

[MrsBadger]

ghastly

up there with Buttercup in the cow-naming stakes but not for people

(well you did ask)

[twirlymum]

I remember the programme called Blossom - about a young girl and her friends. Early 90's I think.

[TAFKAtheUrbanDryad]

Makes me think of that program that used to be on Channel 4 - she had a brother called Joey and a mate called Six IIRC.

Blardy awful.

[4SucksFake]

Can you picture a grown woman with that name?

'Nuff said

[fruitstick]

Are you having a baby or a My Little Pony?

[TAFKAtheUrbanDryad]

Actually, I think it's a lovely name for a little girl, but imagine trying to qualify as a lawyer or become the Rt Honourable Blossom Smith (or whatever your surname is).

Can't you give the child a more sensible name and use Blossom as a nickname?

[blossomx]

lol... lots of passionate comments! maybe i should use it for a middle name then. i love the name Gracie. Maybe Gracie Blossom?!

[MrsBadger]

rofl at fruitstick

Grace Blossom is better

[Cerened]

as a middle name, ok. ish.

[LaDiDaDi]

Not as a first name. I hate sickly weet names for little girls.

[moondog]

I like it.

[blossomx]

fruitstick your mean!!! okay so maybe it is a little to girly girly, but thats me im afraid! maybe il stick to nickname for her and her middle name!

[lavenderkate]

Oh.

I like it.

[blossomx]

I know, but im not 1000percent sure on the name ... i just dont no what to decide, her name is going to be 'Blossom Gracie' an then obviously her last name. I just don't want people saying its sickly..... i need to be really sure i want to call her it, as she is goin to have it for the rest of her life!

[MrsBadger]

you have hi tthe nail on the head there

she will be a sweet little girl for max 20 years and then a grown woman for a further sixty

be kind

[LatinDAISYcal]

there's a thing about names..imagining the name in different settings like calling for them in public etc and if they all sound OK then the name is fine. Can't remember the other ones though.

but as you're asking, if I heard someone calling out Blossom at kids in for tea time, I'd imagine they had lost their rabbit or their cat I'm afraid.

[Tortington]

its a horses name

[Ronaldinhio]

jewish girl?

[blossomx]

who says its a horses name?!! its actually in a baby name book, and websites so....

[MrsBadger]

rofl at 'but it is in a baby name book'

[lavenderkate]

Picturing the adult woman Blossom.

She is of rounded shape, short dark curls and rosy cheeked and has lovely west country accent.

[Cerened]

when she hits 20, she'll refer to herself as bloss or something llike mags. or orchid. p ls not blossom. the closest diminunative is bloss. which is not attractive or sweet. and also sounds a lot like 'floss'. and in my book...anyway, dims are overated, things can always be read into them

[MrsBadger]

but she blushes when she talks to men and will never ever be Prime Minister

in fact she may only be suited to farm work, jam-making or being a dinner lady

[blossomx]

no, i am not jewish.

lavenderkate i get exactly what you mean !!!!!!!!!!
