Middle names for henry and primrose

[mrsshears]

We now have our names but i could do with a little help with middle names for these two,atm we quite like

Henry william
primrose ariadne (not sure if this is a bit of a mouthful)

Any suggestions would be great

[ScroobiousPip]

'i do think that little girls given sweet delicate flower names can sometimes grow up to be not sweet and not delicate '

good point snakespeare. i also think it does the adult woman a huge disservice to be lumbered with a 'flowery' name. i know a wonderful, bright lawyer who was wrongly (imho) passed over for partnership. sadly she has a twee, little girl flower name which is totally unsuited to her personality or career (think daisy, etc) - i often wonder if her name has been a draw back.

DSS is Henry Thomas (like William too though - it's DS2's middle name!)

[CecilyP]

Agreed, Henry William is fine. Primrose Ariadne sound awful. Quite like Primrose but a middle name for it needs to be short and simple. Suggestions;

Claire
Louise
Grace
Anna
Amy
Alice
Kate
Marie
Elise

[JestersHat]

Henry Nathaniel
Henry Jacob
Henry John
Henry Alexander
Henry David
Henry Luke

Primrose Coralie
Primrose Aurelia
Primrose Anna
Primrose Emma
Primrose Lydia
Primrose Maya

My DS is Henry John.

In my opinion Primrose is enough on its own, otherwise maybe choose a one syllable middle name?

[DottieRose]

Love the names Henry and Primrose.....

Henry James
Henry Jasper
Henry Rupert
Henry Bay

Primrose Clementine
Primrose Juniper
Primrose Juno
Primrose Angel

Don't get me wrong, I love Ariadne as a middle name (used it myself for DD1 ) but I don't think it goes with Primrose.

Don't have any suggestions I'm afraid, but I think something with fewer syllables would flow better.

[Hullygully]

Primrose awful awful. It's the "prim" wot does it

Henry Alphonse

Primrose Tracey

Fraid I'm with justwantcheese - I love primroses (they've just come into bloom in my garden) but as a name, I think of Mrs Shipman. It is a bit of an obscure connection, I know, but there it is...

Ariadne is a lovely name though - but best matched with something simple.

[notso]

I think William Henry sounds better, but they do sound ok together.
Henry Robert,
Henry Thomas,
Henry Stephen.

I think Primrose Ariadne does sound like a mouthful, I like the names though.
Primrose Catherine does sound lovely.

What a curious connection justwantcheese

I love Primrose as well, we are using it as a middle name. For use as a first name I like a classic name as a middle name, something like:

Primrose Grace
Primrose Rachel
Primrose Claire

[justwantcheese]

sorry primrose reminds me of harold shipmans wife.

[saturdayescape]

Love primrose but not the second name.

[Snapespeare]

Primrose Ariadne is a huge mouthful! Also, although it is a lovely name i do think that little girls given sweet delicate flower names can sometimes grow up to be not sweet and not delicate (my nice way of saying rather overweight with a facial hair problem) you may like to give her a more traditional, short middle name that she could elect to use instead of Primrose (although she may shorten 'primrose' to 'rose'? )

Primrose May/Mae?
Primrose Hope?
Primrose Honor?
Primrose Beatrice? (n/a 'bea')

[SoFarWeAreEqual]

Henry William is lovely

Henry Charles?

Primrose is more tricky; I agree that you may want to pick something a little 'plainer'. Mary? Catherine?

[ScroobiousPip]

henry william is nice or vv, will you use harry for short?

primrose - likely to be get called names like 'miss prim and proper' or 'prissy primrose' at school. ariadne is nice though, and arry as a nickname is ok.

[Meglet]

Henry william is good.

Agree that Ariadne doesn't really flow with Primrose. I love Primrose though.

[exoticfruits]

Henry William is fine, but William Henry hangs together better,
I don't like Primrose at all, so I would have something like Primrose Elizabeth . Definitely not Ariadne.
