Hi,

I have recently fallen hard for Primrose, I think it sounds beautiful but is it too much?

I remember hearing of a little girl called this years ago and thinking wow. Do you know of anybody who has used this name and if so what reactions do they receive?

I always think would I like to be called this when considering a name and I would love to be called Primrose even though I'm not prim and proper lol!

I suggested it to my dh and he laughed and said it was too much but IMO how can Rose, Iris, Poppy, Daisy etc etc be ok and another flower name not?

Anyway I think I'm rambling now!!! Grin TIA

Oh good responses so far. Wahla I agree, it is definitely a marmite name!

DD's new friend is called Primrose & she's the first we've come across, they're 11/12. They call her "Prim". We joke that she's the mouse in Brambly Hedge as she's the only other one we've heard of. I think it's a pretty name and she's a lovely girl Smile

I went to school 40 years ago with a Primrose, very down to earth rosy cheeked farmers daughter. So it's not out there at all to me.

I love it but I think it's one of those marmite names.
