Primrose or Penelope?

[rachelrainbow]

We just can’t decide between these names! Our surname begins with P and we’d love for her name to be alliterative! I think my personal preference is Primrose which surprises me as it’s so girly!

Primrose shortenings- Prim, Rose, Posy

Penelope shortenings- Penny, Nel

Penelope, I just live that name.

Unless your surname is Pitstop.

Primrose

Primrose is a bit prim and I don't love Penelope, but it is the better of the two.

How about Polly unless your surname is Parrott?

I prefer Primrose.

Primrose is too prim! Penny is nicer or Polly!
Persephone nn Persey/Percy?
Patricia nn Patsy?
Pippa
Piper

I personally really don't like primrose but love Penelope x

Penelope is lovely. Primrose is awful.

Primrose should work but it really really doesn't - it sounds weird, uptight, and yes Prim! Would you really want your DD to be called Prim?!

If you want something a bit more out there than Penelope, Primrose isn't it.

Penelope by a long way, it's so lovely.

I'm sorry, but Primrose is horrible. Shortened to Prim? Really?

Penelope by a long way
Great name

I know lots of little Penelope’s so for me its lovely, but overused where I live.
I really like Primrose, yet to meet one!

I like both!
Maybe sway more to Penelope x

Penelope for definite😍

I choose Primrose

Definitely not primrose due to the negative word prim. Nel/Penelope is lovely.

Don’t do Primrose.

Really really don't like primrose I'm sorry so it would have to be penelope, but I prefer philippa

I like both. Would never shorten Primrose to Prim, though

Penelope. Primrose is wishy washy.

Penelope.
I really dislike Primrose

Not keen on either but, if so had to commit, would take Penelope over Primrose....

In my mind, Primrose is a librarian in her fifties who wears a twinset and tortoiseshell glasses! How about Persephone, Phoebe or Petra?

Penny/Penelope ❤️

I've never understood the popularity of Penelope. It sounds like a wet fish flapping about on a dock.

Primrose is much nicer.

Sorry, neither. Primrose is way too prissy and pretentious-sounding, and Penelope is too P-heavy with the surname (as well as one of my least favourite girls names - I don't find it nice to look at and I really dislike the sound. I can't understand why it's so popular).
