Buttercup

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.

'choosing'

Sorry, Definitely a pet or cows name.

BibiBelle · 16/07/2011 11:07

She's never going to thank you for it though is she? Why not buy her a cuddle cow called buttercup for when she's born?

The options for 'buttock up' jokes would too great for me.

Awful. Just dire, sorry.

Not entirely sure it passes the Prime Minister test....

How many prime ministers middle names do you know teaspoon?

TeaspoonThief · 19/07/2011 10:17

Not many Rhubarb - but i'm guessing none of them have Buttercup. Grin

TillyIpswitch - you are a force of diabolic evil. Now have earworm of that bloody song. You sod. And it does remind me of dairy. Sorry.

Kind of cute as long as it's only a middle name.

I agree it is a cow's name but then so are Rosie, Daisy and Primrose and little girls get given these names as a matter of course. So why not.

I like what you're going for.. and it IS pretty and cute, but I'd go with Bluebell or Primrose over Buttercup (even though I love The Princess Bride!).. but if you like it, DO IT!

No, I think it's awful, sorry. I like 'nature' names generally, but that one just doesn't work for me.
