Blossom?

[pizzapineapple]

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

Also really annoys me when people say "imagine a 40 year old with that name"

You grow with your name and it's all that is known. My siblings, child and myself all have incredibly unusual name and it's never once been a problem. Never been bullied at school either funnily enough 🙄

Because of the trend for cutesy ditzy Uber girlie names that’s why. Which seem frankly ridiculous on portly 50 somethings. Sorry but they do.

Blossom would be ridiculous on an adult (you're naming a person, not a baby) and bloss/blossy are hideous tbh

To be honest, there's no logical reason why names like Flora or Fleur are OK, in fact, positively classic and traditional, and Blossom isn't. Is it just a bit too Old English and not Latinate enough? Blossom isn't my cup of tea, but I've heard much worse names suggested. Blos/Blossy are horrid, though.

I'm sorry but it sounds like a name for a cow not a human.

I dont mind it for a person but is more of an animal name. Dont like the nicknames though.

It doesn't need a nickname.

I agree it doesn't need to be shortened. I just think names like Sarah, Katie, Hannah etc are so incredibly boring. t the end of the day it's each to their own isn't it but I can say, as a family of very unusual names non of us have ever had any problems

And like I said, I saw a 70+ year old with the name originally. So not ridiculous at all.

I really hope that you aren’t naming her after the Blossoms
