Would you like it if you were called..

[NotNowPlzz]

TTC and thinking of names. I'm trying to narrow them down by thinking about whether I'd like to be called it or not and would like to know what others think. Also if youd have any preconceptions about people with this name.

Blair
Blythe
Primrose
Rosamund
Pandora
Perdita
Petronella

Boy's name settled on already. Robert.

Rosamund or Pandora.
Not keen on the others.

Robert is nice and underused. How about Roberta?

Petronella makes me think of Boris' ex

Blair- Are you a fan of fan of Tony or Gossip Girl?

Blythe- not a fan.

Primrose- Not a fan of the Prim bit
Rosamund- best one
Pandora - box or jewellery brand for me so a ni
Perdita- makes me think of Jillian Cooper. Means lost iirc

Blair - witch project
Blythe - isn't this similar to a potato disease?
Primrose - not keen
Rosamund - this is ok
Pandora - bracelet
Perdita - don't like, but Perdy as a nn is cute
Petronella - petrolhead

Sorry.

Blair -Tony, Witch project... bloody hell no.
Blythe - Not awful but I'm not sure I'd want to be called it
Primrose - might like it as a little girl but not when I was grown up
Rosamund - yes, with Rosie/Rosa NNs, though I'd probably wish you'd gone for Rosalind
Pandora - I'd have disliked it once I knew the myth.
Perdita - no ... sounds too much like perdition.
Petronella - just don't like it.

I don't like any of them. But Rosamund is the best of a bad bunch, IMO

I would like to be called Rosamund nn Roz or Blythe.

Perdita nn Perdy is OK but I can imagine people saying "you're so perdy" instead of pretty, which would be annoying (especially when said sarcastically by kids at school).

Petronella sounds like the name of an air freshener.

Blair - I think boys name, so no
Blythe - ok, but a bit wishy washy
Primrose - no
Rosamund - no, prefer Rose
Pandora - no, because of the jewellery brand
Perdita - yes, gorgeous name
Petronella - ok

Pandora,
I adore ya.
I implore thee,
Don’t ignore me.

I wouldn't like to be called any of those! Pandora is the only one that sounds nice but unfortunately due to the branding that's all you think of. Petronella is awful - reminds me of petrol and citronella combined!

Definitely not Pandora - I immediately remembered the lyrics of A Formidable Marinade - if I put my hand in Pandora's box and I was stricken with a deadly pox. It's a no from me!

I have misquote A Mole. Oh, for an edit button. To please myself, it should be ‘I implore ye’,

No, sorry I wouldn’t.

Rosamund is ok, but prefer Rosa

Don't like any of those to be honest.

Blair and I think of the hideous Tony

Petronella sounds like an insect repellent and Pandora is the jewellery brand.

Blair - really don't like this for a girl but then I don't like surname-type names. I would assume Blair's brother would be Jackson rather than Robert
Blythe - I do love this (mainly because if AoGG) and I just think it sounds great
Primrose - not keen. I think it's the "prim" at the start. It sounds prissy.
Rosamund - I do like this but would you say "ROSE - a - mund" or "ROS - a - mund". I say the former and it would really annoy me if people said the second.
Pandora - this ages me but I do think of Adrian Mole. In itself it's a nice name though
Perdita - I've never liked this. I'm not sure why. It just has a very unattractive sound to me
Petronella - no. Too frilly, too big a name. Petra is much nicer.

Blythe or Rosamund for me.

Blair and Blythe I love, either for boys or girls

Blair - horrible
Blythe - sounds like a grim northern town
Primrose - prim
Rosamund - ok
Pandora - cheap-looking jewellery
Perdita - ok
Petronella - why aye pet. No

Anything but pandora. All the box jokes as a teenager would be cruel.

I wouldn't mind being a Blair.

The rest are way too frilly for me!

The only one I like and would like to be called is Rosamund.

I particularly dislike Blythe.

Rosamund is ok but prefer other ' Rosa' type names eg Rosanna

None of the others. Primrose just says Dr Shipman's wife to me. She couldn't help that but still.
Petronella Wyatt one of Johnson's many bits on the side.

Blair - Witch. No.

Blythe - unusual but classy. Good call.

Primrose - Harold Shipman's wife. Hard no.

Rosamund - Lovely, and Rosie/Ross are cute nn

Pandora - I like this a LOT.

Perdita - Reminds me of the Jilly Cooper antiheroine, but that's not a bad thing. Great name

Petronella -

Petronella - petroleum jelly - vaseline. No. Petra is better but more of a dog's name (Blue Peter).

Primrose - pretty flower but brings to mind busybody, almost Hyacinth Bucket type.

Perdita - Jilly Cooper & then the dalmation, but actually like it. Alternative Peri? (Peri Gilpin is an American actress).

Rosamund - not keen. Rosa, Rose, Rosalie prettier in the same vein.

Blair - boy's name. Blair Witch, Tony Blair (slight ick).

Blythe - ok, bit wishy washy.

Pandora - instantly thought Adrian Mole as a pp above!

The only one I wouldn't mind being called would be Blythe

Would prefer Rosa though (without the mund ending)

I would like Rosamund or Perdita. I would be fine but less enthusiastic about Primrose. Pandora is probably actually very nice for younger people who don't remember Adrian Mole. And the same with Petronella Wyatt.

Blair and Bythe both sound too American, which I'm not.

Perdita means 'lost' in Spanish
