Primrose?

[kate1296]

What do you think to Primrose? Or any other ideas for names a little like this?

I love it.

I really really like it, but sadly it always reminds me of Primrose Shipman. Which is a damn shame as its such a pretty name!

I love it

Love it, love it, no-one would be reminded of Primrose Shipman I don't think, I'm too old for all that baby malarkey now but I saw a baby called Primrose on the tellybox the other day and my heart did a sort of yearning, "I want a baby called Primrose" thing that it hasn't quite got over yet. 'Twas a bloody gorgeous baby though.

Imagine being 45years old and introducing yourself at a job interview as ~Primrose~. There are plenty of similar sounding names that won't make you sound like a fairy fantasist - have you considered other 'rose' names? Rose, rosa, rosalie, rosalyn, rosalind, rosamund, Roseanne, roseanna, rosalina?

Love love it! It's very marmite though. I like the fact you can shorten it to Prim, Posy, Rosie, Rose, Po, Ro! So even if she isn't girly there are alternatives. I'm surprised it isn't more popular.

It's the name of katniss' sensitive but skilled little sister in the hunger games.

Love it - made me think of The Hunger Games though

X post Dean!

I went to school with a girl called Primrose, love it.

I love primrose and other names on my list are:
Daisy
Daphne
Zinnia
Esme
Penelope

Bloody awful.

Instant association for me is 'Shipman', I am afraid. Sorry.

Also, 'Prim' is a terrible nickname.

I know one, parents are a bit hippy, not that that's a bad thing. However, I hate the name.

LovethenameDaphne are you Ma Larkin? She had a Primrose and a Zinnia. (IIRC the other girls were Mariette (short for Marie Antoinette, Petunia, Violet, and Phyllida)

I do think of Primrose Shipman. One of the reasons I remember her name is how incongruous it seemed, I am sorry to say.

But Primrose Larkin (see above) is quite a character.

I'm not her but I should be!! I love Florence Daisy too and Violet!

Draw the line at Petunia though

Lovely name!

Awful. It contains the word 'prim' and it sounds totally prim.

Bloody terrible. It's beyond twee, twee is a speck on the horizon to the name Primrose.

I've worked with two Primroses. Both were absolutely lovely. One shortened it to Prim which (although obv her choice!) seemed a shame as it's so pretty.

I thought Shipman straight away

Love this name, i know 1 almost 3.... She gets called prim.
I would have this for my bump but dd1's middle name is rose

Primrose sounds lovely, I didn't even know Harold shipmans wife was called primrose, so doubtful when she is growing up it'll be relevant?

Love it. I also love Marigold, Fern and Clover. Sadly they all sounded ridiculous with our surname.

it's ever so popular where i am. and my sisters bump is due to be Primrose. i like it for her, but IMO it's a name that won't grow with the child.
