Buttercup

[ahshutupayourface]

As a middle name, as in the most beautiful girl in the world was called Buttercup (The Princess Bride)
Would have loved Elfie or Rosy Buttercup, but it sounds a bit cow-like!
Please consider as a middle name if you know the book/film.

I love it!

As you wish!

I love it. Our Rabbit is called buttercup. She is joyous!

Should point out that it is only the Rabbits name as DH would never even consider it for a child, middle name or otherwise.

Sorry, but it just makes me think of a cow....

"For I'm called Little Buttercup -- dear Little Buttercup,
Though I could never tell why,
But still I'm called Buttercup -- poor little Buttercup,
Sweet Little Buttercup I!

I've snuff and tobaccy, and excellent jacky,
I've scissors, and watches, and knives;
I've ribbons and laces to set off the faces
Of pretty young sweethearts and wives.

I've treacle and toffee, I've tea and I've coffee,
Soft tommy and succulent chops;
I've chickens and conies, and pretty polonies,
And excellent peppermint drops.

Then buy of your Buttercup -- dear Little Buttercup;
Sailors should never be shy;
So, buy of your Buttercup -- poor Little Buttercup;
Come, of your Buttercup buy!"

From HMS PInafore.

Buttercup Cow, part of the Early Learning Centre range for newborns called Blossom Farm. But who cares what i think. If you like it, go for it.

It's a cow's name.

I think it may be a case of flowery girls names gone mad and is another signifier of the end of the flowery/girly name trend. See thread on this.

i did consider it myself once in the search for flowery but different. it is cute sounding.... but I came to my senses and realised its for a cow/my little pony/fantasy princess....

yes surely the end is nigh

Makes me think of this song

Makes me think you want to copy Geri Halliwell - her daughter's middle name is Bluebell I think.

Buttercup is a traditional cough mixture

it's nice but because of cow thing I would say there are so many other lovely flower names you could choose

DD has Bluebell as middlename and some friends of ours take the mickey and call her Buttercup...because DH's family are dairy farmers....

Build me up
Let me down
Worst of all
Say you will

It's a middle name, who cares!

I think people can (and should) go as crazy as they want with middle names

I think Celandine is a better flower name.

Its pretty and girly. I'd go for it x

Primrose? Daisy? Buttercup is ridiculous and definitely more suitable for a cow or a rabbit.

I love it and that is my favourite book!

Yay, Butt for short

Go for it, it's a middle name, they exist to allow your hormones to TAKE OVER

Butters for short? In street slang, butters means ugly.

Go for it! I think it's fine to have fun with middle names!

Another one who immediately thinks of cows I'm afraid...

I love it and I'm considering it for a middle name too.

Not keen if im honest...but saying that i do have a Daisy...when we told my DF he said it was cow fodder, good job i dont consider his opinion when chossing my dcs names :)
