Blossom

[Alwayshungryforcrisps]

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

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

God no.
I secretly like Buttercup

It's my cousins last name

Makes me think of this

What about Bubbles?

Blossom, Buttercup and Bubbles are the Power Puff Girls

Yes with the TV show.

It also seems one of those horrid euphemistic words used about puberty and sexual awakening which would be horrid for an awkward teenage girl to deal with. Please don't.

Blossom was my favourite television programme when I was a kid (Joey Lawrence hummana hummana) so for me that's my first association. Not sure I'm keen on it as a name though.

What about Six?

At crazy golf once there was the naughtiest little girl called Blossom! It was hilarious, the parents were constantly like 'Blossom sweetie, don't do that! Precious Blossom, come here please! Blossom, no darling!' It's far too frilly and wet as a first name for my taste anyway.

I do know of someone who has used it for her daughter's middle name, which is sweet.

Ooh, also looking at it just now it made me think of 'bosom'.

I like it.

It's my nieces name and although I was somewhat surprised by it when it was first announced, it has grown on me since and it really suits her.

Would you like to be called Blossom as an adult? How would you feel in a professional situation meeting new colleagues or clients for the first time and introducing yourself as Blossom Smith (or whatever).

I know people have differing opinions on cute girls names, but I'd feel stupid as hell at 45 meeting new people and introducing myself as Blossom/Buttercup/Posey.

Blossom, Buttercup and Posy are mumsy cows' names for me. Now, I like cows I am typing this looking out onto a field of them but I don't think it's a good set of associations on actual girls and women.

Blossom and Buttercup were also names of two of the Powerpuff Girls.

I know of two adult Nigerians called Blossom.

It's pretty but not sure it works on an adult. Maybe a middle name.

My first thought is that Blossom was the name of Pandora's horse in Adrian Mole

Second thought the TV show (which my mum wouldn't let me watch). Blossom's friend was called Six. I love that name! As well as Seven which was the name George wanted to use in Seinfeld I think.

Blossom. Hmmm. I can imagine awful jokes about "blossoming". Not sure I like it.

@Eminybob great minds

Awful. Sorry.

I am not that heavily into flowers used as names anyway.

Better as a nickname. Give the kid a real name to use as well though.

Oh right, Blossom is a Powerpuff Girl not a totally spy. Always got them mixed up.

likeababyelephant the Totally Spies were Alex, Sam, and Clover
