I'm not even pregnant yet, but I suddenly love this name!

Are there any other Blossom' out there? Do people like it?

I know somebody with it as a middle name. Fairly ordinary first name though.

Sugarpiehoneyeye · 05/06/2017 20:27

I think if would be a pretty middle name.

Sorry, I really don't like it, even though I like a lot of the other quirkier flower names: Primrose, Clover, Aster, Tulip, etc. etc. Blossom just has an ugly, blunt sound to me I'm afraid. It also sounds quite twee and little girlish. Sorry!

Only from the self titled american teen show from 25 years ago!

Makes me think my little pony and I have NO idea why!Hmm

EverythingEverywhere1234 · 05/06/2017 20:49

Oh I think it's awful, sorry! To each their own of course, but it either makes me think of an uptight, nose in the air type!

Just watching an episode of Only Fools and Horses about a drunk 'crazy' lady called Blossom.

It reminds me of the horse in the diary of Adrian Mole Grin

Enidblyton1 · 05/06/2017 20:51

Just makes me think of bosom Grin

DramaAlpaca · 05/06/2017 20:51

I can't find anything good to say about it at all. Sorry.

likeababyelephant · 05/06/2017 20:52

Gorgeous name! Does remind me of Totally Spies though.

Argeles · 05/06/2017 21:06

I like it, and think it makes a refreshing change.

Squishedstrawberry4 · 05/06/2017 21:08

Nice

SuperBeagle · 05/06/2017 22:14

Christ no.

Blossom is frigging awful.

BuzzKillington · 05/06/2017 22:17

Agree - it's bloody awful.

Can you imagine being an adult called Blossom? Embarrassing.

Christmastree43 · 05/06/2017 22:36

I think it's really pretty! Until Buzz said imagine an adult Blossom...

C0untDucku1a · 05/06/2017 22:38

I'm now singing the theme tune to blossom! I love mayim bialik still.

What about buttercup? As you wish!

Ojoj1974 · 05/06/2017 22:39

Definitely not suitable for a first name but ok for a middle name.

BellMcEnd · 05/06/2017 22:40

Sorry. Not keen at all.

GameOldBirdz · 05/06/2017 22:40

My best mate's dog is called Blossom

Sophronia · 05/06/2017 22:45

Better as a middle name.

TheDropBear · 05/06/2017 22:47

Makes me think of the powerpuff girl. Cute for a toddler but not for an adult.

RichardSimmons · 05/06/2017 22:48

I prefer Sixx

Alwayshungryforcrisps · 05/06/2017 23:06

Ooh I like buttercup too now for my imaginery baby!
