Blossom?

[pizzapineapple]

I've just seen this suggested on another thread and wondered what the consensus is? Blos/Blossy for short?

No please don't!
Reminds me of the power puff girls

Not just a flower name but a generic, unidentified flower. It's a no from me.

Sorry Op, but it's a lovely name for a pony not a child.

Against the grain I love it

I like it!

My rabbit's name.

I also quite like it.

It's a really pretty name, but immediately makes me think of either the PowerPuff Girls or Blossom Russo from that awful 90s show.

I think it's cute.

I had a dog called Blossom, it suited her very well, but for a child no, just no.

I had a lovely primary school teacher who used to call us Blossom, as a term of endearment. Because of this I have a soft spot for the name. However I don't think I would actually use it for a baby.

I think a good test is would you like to be named Blossom? I wouldn’t, I’d feel a bit silly every time I introduced myself to someone new.

Great for a pet. Too twee for a grown woman.

Never take down the patriarchy with a name like that

@Moominfan I don't know, I always though the Pankhursts had rather fanciful names (Christabel?).

Blossom is not nearly as nice as the other flower names like Rose, Rosa, Lily, Iris, etc. Flora is also much nicer, I think.

No from me I’m afraid. Too wishy-washy, and I think Bloss/Blossy are hideous. Sorry!

I knew a twenty-something Blossom for a short time. She was very ethereal and very cool!

Blossom is ok, sort of.

Bloss/Blossy are dreadful.

Too cute

It's kind of...bovine?

Sorry.

Err, no. Definitely too twee...

Good grief no. It's only suitable for a domestic animal, it'd be horrendous on a person.

For a horse, I think you could get away with it.
For a person, no.

Screams 90s sit com to me.

I suspect the nickname Blossy would very quickly become Bossy.

Andvhinestly would you like to be called “Blos”?

We used it as a middle name. DD loves the meaning of it
