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

Oh you're all being a bit mean. I've never heard of/don't remember Primrose Shipman (tho I have heard of him obvs. )
I know a grown up one and she is known as Rose or Rosey to most people and seems happy with it.

I love it!

Surreyblah · 25/01/2015 06:33

Hunger games Sad

I like it though, and Rosemary.

I love it, it is one of DD's middle names.

Cliffdiver · 26/01/2015 06:54

I love it, really love it. I wanted to but in on our list for DD2 but DH didn't like it at all. We settled on Rosa as her middle name.

Just no.

I love it and had no idea Harold Shipman's wife was called Primrose until this thread Confused Did she even have anything to do with the murders? Confused

It's pretty, but a little bit Hunger Games for me.

Kaekae · 27/01/2015 23:41

I love it. So pretty. Doesn't make me think of the Shipman's at all. I know a very good solicitor called Primrose so I think it works fine as an adult name.

Sounds 'prim'.

dancestomyowntune · 13/02/2015 16:35

I have recently had a baby and have called her Tiger-Rose, my grandmother (think 70ish) wants to know why we couldn't call her Primrose. I think, due to the Hunger games it will become overly popular. I do like it though

I like it and wouldn't associate it with Shipman.

olaflikeswarmhugs · 13/02/2015 19:51

I think it's pretty but too closely associated with the hunger games

No.
