Do you love it or hate it? 😎

I like Rose. The 'Prim' bit puts me off this name, though.

Hunger Games!

Lovemylittlebear · 30/01/2021 07:22

Love it ❤️

No I don’t like it. Floral names I like include Aster, Azalea, Rose. I also like Rosa.

OneTwoStep · 30/01/2021 07:16

I like it but prefer Rose.

I work with someone senior who abbreviates it to "Pris" which I just can't get my head around when you could choose Rose or Rosie! So... no unless emotional attachment with immediate abbreviation to one of the latter.

Not a fan, it’s very twee.

TashieWoo · 30/01/2021 07:07

I don’t like it, and it also makes me think of Primrose Shipman. There are far nicer flower names out there.

Dinosauraddict · 30/01/2021 07:07

I really like it, but it does immediately make me think of hunger games.

IamnotwhouthinkIam · 30/01/2021 07:02

Dislike it. I love the simple classic Rose and I like the less popular but elegant Rosalind and Rosamund, but I can't get past the "prim" part of Primrose - it sounds too stuffy for me.

SmeleanorSmellstrop · 30/01/2021 06:37

I like it! And I like the 'prim' bit too 🤷🏽‍♀️

Poppins2016 · 30/01/2021 05:50

I think it's a pretty name and would aim for nickname Rose/Rosie...

Be warned, though, the 'Prim' might be drawn upon more than you think... I know someone named Primrose whose nickname is "Primmie" which may not be quite what her parents were expecting...

HeadlessGummyBears · 30/01/2021 05:44

I think it’s lovely.

intheshallows · 30/01/2021 05:15

I think it's so, so twee, sorry. And makes me think of the hunger games.

I love it but it doesn’t feel ‘of this time’ if that makes sense.

Aquamarine1029 · 30/01/2021 04:56

Hate it. Really, really hate it.

DramaAlpaca · 30/01/2021 04:49

Utterly hate it, I'm sorry. It's the 'prim' bit I can't be doing with.

chestnutSquash · 30/01/2021 04:49

It makes me immediately think of Harold Shipman, which is a shame really.
