Makes me think of those weird squishy hats from the 90s... Otherwise ok. Similar category to Summer in my mind

Makes me think of the TV show and hippy-dippy flower power generation.

Jackieharris · 30/03/2015 21:21

I like. I think of the tv character, but in a good way.

I prefer it to the other 'flowery' names. It's stronger imo.

There was an annoying American TV program called blossom it makes me think of that sorry!

jusdepamplemousse · 30/03/2015 21:22

I love it. So cheerful - and one of the not too girly flower names. Makes me think of health and sunshine!
