India, definitely.

I'm not keen on Bluebell as it feels very insubstantial, and Primrose feels, well, prim.

RaeSkywalker · 19/04/2016 15:10

ABit I was thinking India Primrose too!

nectarini1983 · 19/04/2016 15:11

India definitely! Kitty = cat imo!

NotSpartacus · 19/04/2016 15:11

I like India Primrose too.

Grufalosfriend · 19/04/2016 15:22

India is a country/continent to me and Kitty is what you call a cute kitten.... So personally I'd not choose either. How about Primrose as a first name? With Rosie as nickname?

neonrainbow · 19/04/2016 15:23

Kitty is no name for a child. So i guess the other one.

CrookedTiara · 19/04/2016 15:27

Honestly, they're both a bit self-consciously whimsical and cutesy. Obviously, all baby names essentially say 'my parents thought this was a nice name', but yours say 'my mother thought this was cute', which may not age well...

I like Kitty the best of the four names, but Primrose is way too cutesy with it.

Notso · 19/04/2016 15:31

Overall I prefer Primrose as a first name.
Then Kitty.

Then Bluebell.

India is way down here. I would hate to be called India.

Sophronia · 19/04/2016 15:36

Kitty. It was my great grandmother's name and suited her fine as an adult. Don't like India at all.

MyFavouriteClintonisGeorge · 19/04/2016 15:40

Another vote for India Primrose.

LadyAntonella · 19/04/2016 15:41

India Bluebell or India Primrose.

jamenhej · 19/04/2016 15:42

I also thought India Primrose!

Itinerary · 19/04/2016 16:24

India Bluebell

Bajanella · 19/04/2016 18:10

India Primrose

ashesandfire · 19/04/2016 18:19

I prefer India but would choose Katherine nn Kitty over India. I think Kitty needs something more grown up/substantial for when she's older
I prefer Primrose to Bluebell

HeteronormativeHaybales · 19/04/2016 18:38

Another vote for K/Catherine for the bc.

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/04/2016 18:41

I love Kitty.

But I also like India....

Schmoochypoos · 19/04/2016 18:46

Bluebell India!

1horatio · 19/04/2016 19:12

Kitty is a very sweet nn imo, but it really isn't a name I'd personally want to put on a birth certificate... Sorry.

What about India Primrose or Primrose India (like others already suggested)?

I personally would go for Katherine Primrose and call her Kitty. Katherine is just elegant without even trying and combining it with Primrose is so very very charming... Katherine Primrose is one of these "wow names", imo.

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/04/2016 19:14

Catherine/Kitty

Paintedhandprints · 19/04/2016 19:58

I like both.
How about Indigo though? Sorry I'm no help.

GooseberryRoolz · 19/04/2016 20:13

India Bluebell. Beautiful Smile
