What do you think of Primrose

[skyra13]

I like the name primrose but would like to see what others think?

I also like the face could have the nick names Prim & Rosie

:)

I like it, but (sorry) Primrose Shipman immediately springs to mind

Lol i never even knew his wife was called that haha well it don't put me of :)

sounds granny-like to me sorry

I was thinking of the grumpy one in Darling Buds of May

Hunger Games all the way. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. Your call on that one.

It's cute for a baby or a granny. Otherwise it would be filed under my 'can I imagine that name on a high court judge - probably not' file.

My mind went straight to Darling Buds as well

I love it. Really pretty.

I really really loathe it. It's prissy and I seriously can't imagine any teenage girl (or woman) liking being called it.

I know a 2.5 yr old with this name and i love it... She gets called prim, I didnt make the shipman, may or games connection..(never seen the 2 tv shows).... I hav this name on my list if i have a girl (due in may) .. I like nature names and have posy, blossom and marigold on my list aswell.

I don't like it at all. Hate the sound of 'Prim'. Just makes me think of 'prim and proper'.

Love it, very pretty.

My brain can't stop putting 'Hill' on the end. I've never even been to Primrose Hill so I'm not sure why!

I think its a bit fussy to be honest - can only imagine it on a smarmy suck-upy person! I definitely wouldn't want to be friends with the Primrose I'm envisaging.

I also think of primrose hill. And I've only been there once.

Don't like it. Sounds twee, a little silly and I also imagine a stuck up person. Prim is an awful nn, if you must then Rose would be better.

I imagine Primrose to look like Anne Widdecombe and to have a penchant for wearing 1980's style Laura Ashley frocks.

It's a cows name. The younger sister of clarabell.
Hideous name but a lovely flower.

Posy is a good nn

Awful name, sorry.

I'd expect to see a bell around her neck. Its a cow's name to me.

ps I certainly wouldn't associate it with 'posh'. Quite the opposite to be honest.

It reminds me of Brambly Hedge

It's frightful, sorry.

How about Rosemary or Priscilla?

Skyra13! If you like it that's what matters! "Older" names do seen to be making a come back at the mo and I think they are often a bit marmitey! People either really love or really loathe them!

I think Primrose is lovely, and I agree the nicknames are super cute.

I think the only thing to maybe consider is with the growing popularity of The Hunger Games you might find there are a lot of little "Primroses" when she gets to nursery/school and you'll have to think about whether you mind if it is going to become a more common name than you perhaps had thought.

Love it.

Bloody awful, sorry. Frumpy as all get-out.
