Primrose

[rachelrainbow]

Do you love it or hate it? 😎

Not keen, just because 'Prim' isn't a nice word. A friend's new GD is called Marigold which I was surprised to realise I really like!

Love love love it!!

Hate.

It is beyond wet. Wetter than Lily, and that is saying something. Also makes me think of prim and prissy, and yes the Mrs Shipman.

Iris?

Love it, it was on our list (had a boy)

And anyway no one knows who Mrs Shipman is fgs.

It’s a lovely name, go for it.

Hate it

Hate it.

I think it's lovely.
I had no idea of Harold Shipmans wife's name and I doubt your daughters peers would know or care about that either.

Never made the shipman connection but I do really dislike the name. Just strikes me as a bully/total bitch name!

LOVE it!!!

I never knew about Harold Shipman having a wife called Primrose, but in any case, was she culpable in any way? or just unlucky to be married to him?
I think Primrose is charming.

I love it

Reminds me of the hunger games

I like it but I prefer other names in that sort of space - Flora, Marigold, Rosemary, Rosalind

I like it because it's a bit different from the usual names but still a well known traditional one. I also like the NN Primmy/Primmie or Prim tbh, I think it is sweet and a departure from the usual Rose/Rosie which are lovely names but common.

Ugh no, it's a horrible name. So prissy and meek and wet.

I’m in the hate camp - sorry. Twee, prissy, Harold Shipman and Katniss’ unfortunate sister.

I absolutely love it. I hate the nicknames Rosie and Prim though which put me off.

Wow this name is so marmite. I love it but wouldn't use it I don't think. Would love to meet a little Primrose though.

I love it. It's my daughter's middle name.

It's a lovely name for a rabbit, or possibly a cow, but a human child? Just no.

I like it. Prima Rosa - first rose.

Bit of a mouthful for a child, and too twee for a grown woman. Shame because it's lovely and my MIls name

I love it.

I'd be charmed to meet a little Primrose, but I wouldn't use it myself.

I agree with Samantha that it is a bit twee for an adult woman, although sweet on a little girl. I also think of Mrs Shipman, sadly, as the actual name and flower are both lovely really.
Maybe better as a middle name ?
