Primrose or Elsa??

[mrsshears]

All the way through we have said we will have primrose if the baby is a girl but we are now wavering and edging more towards Elsa, my only worry is that Elsa may become popular,which would you go for?

Primrose is a cow's name. Elsa is a lion, but infinitely better.

I would go towards Primrose myself. Elsa reminds me of the lady that used to be in the soap Neighbours in the 80's. Lovely name but not so modern. But it depends if your looking for old or new really. Primrose can aslo be shortened to Prim. You may or maynot like shortening of the name.

Try and imagine what the name you want shouted across a playground in all sorts of formats. That's the name that is going to get the less teasing too. (tip I got ages ago)

Elsa, Primrose is fifi's freinds there and she is not the nicest.

Elsa won't be that popular.

I love the name Elsa! It was the name of the Lion in "Born Free" and I am a great animal lover. Agree that Primrose does remind me of Fifi and the Flowertots.

Primrose sounds a bit twee to me, sorry. Didn't realise the Fifi connection though.

I know of 3 Elsas aged 2 and under. I really like it. It's getting more prevalent, but I don't think it's going to be the next Olivia.

Definitely Elsa.Elsa is lovely. Primrose is horrid.

Elsa is the name that my partner and I have decided on if baby no 4 is a girl. I think it is a lovely name not too popular, but not too outrageoous for my old-fshioned in-laws to get there heads around. (Named my son Harvey, they hated the name and boy did they let me know that they hated it) .

I only know two other Elsas , a lady in her 60's and a teenage girl.

Have you thought of Elsa Primrose if you like the both names?

Elsa

Oh my goodness no competition - Elsa, Elsa, Elsa. Gorgeous name.

Are you seriously considering Primrose as a first name?! Middle name if you must, but otherwise...

Another vote for Elsa - it's both pretty and noble, and suits the little lioness I know!

Elsa.

The only Primrose I know is a labrador.

I only know one Elsa, she's about 18 months old and very sweet. It does remind me of Home and Away, but that's no reason to not use it.

Elsa is lovely but go with your feelings when she arrives :-)

Primrose much nicer. Elsa sounds frumpy.

The Home and Away character was Ailsa, not Elsa, no?

Anyway, Elsa every time, it's not popular at all. In a good way, I mean

Elsa love Elsie aswell

Primrose!
I love Primrose! Elsa is lovely too, but I prefer Primrose. I know one of each.

Another vote for Primrose - classic, timeless name that sounds very refreshing compared to all the little Evie, Molly, Lillies. Elsa is nice too but sounds more nicknamey and less classy.

Primrose.

I like Primrose, not keen on Elsa.

Elsa. Primrose is a bit twee.

Elsa - i think it sounds timeless and would suit a girl / lady of any age, it's cute but very strong and 'grown up' too!

Primrose really does just remind me of Fifi. And i coulnd't imagine a lady in her 30's / 40's / 50's of that name!

On the other hand though Violet doesn't - how strange?

Sorry i meant on the other hand Violet doesn't remind me of that cartoon, and i can imagine a girl / lady of any age called Violet!

Elsa much nicer. Primrose is a bit hyacinth for me iykwim!

Primrose is awful. Perhaps it's the 'prim' bit. All disapproving and buttoned-up.
