Primrose Adelaide

[InletsandBrambles]

My husband and I are planning on trying for our 3rd child soon. We’re settled on a boys name and are leaning towards Primrose Adelaide [Lastname] if it’s a girl. We both love the name Primrose with the nicknames Prim and Posy. Adelaide would be in honor of my husband whose childhood nickname was Addy. We won’t be switching the order of the names or simply using the name Rose as we both hate it. Our son, our eldest, is Lochlan and our daughter is Elowyn- or Loch and Winnie/Wynn for short.
We were just wondering what others thought of the name.

Totally up to you, but I dislike the Prim bit of Primrose intensely. Posy is sweet but is usually short for Josephine.

The -laide bit of Adelaide means 'ugly' in French so that's a no from me, too.

Sorry, we just don't have the same taste in names.

It's absolutely beautiful. Love it.

Sounds like a ship

I love it!

I love your other names but 'Prim"?

If you like Posy, what about Mariposa?

I like Primrose, not so keen on Prim.

Ok but prim isn't a nice diminutive. The connotations are pursed-lipped and judgemental. Posy isn't particularly nice either. I've heard Rosie as a short form for primrose, or just the full name.

I like it. I like Prim too. Reminds me of the character from hunger games.

I like it.
Adelaide means 'nobility' from old German.

Absolutely beautiful!

And one of your children has the same name as one of mine

I love Primrose though not keen on Adelaide.
Adèle is prettier.

I just can't warm to the name Primrose, sounds a bit bovine...

and Prim is not a great nickname, it is such a negative characteristic to be associated with.

I think Adelaide is pretty - but if you have no connections to the city id prefer Adeline.

Please no. Sorry OP, I know an adult Primrose and it doesn't age well. They are stuck with a little girl's name and they aren't a dainty flower in adulthood. They cringe when they introduce themselves.

Rose works better. Or go with Adelaide Primrose if you must.

Not for me sorry....sounds too pretentious

Primrose is top of my list off most disliked names, and ‘Prim’ is just awful, can you imagine being a teenager called Primrose?

Adelaide is lovely.

Primnose? Sorry, no. The next ten people that need to know your name introduce yourself as "Primnose".
Posy's okay.

I really don’t like Primrose, it’s very twee. Posy is also very twee.
Seems quite a different genre from your other children’s names.

I like it. I think it works well with your other children's names too.

Unusual but not too keen myself

I think the names are too much, together.
Too sweet sounding.

It’s all a bit of a mouthful but I guess you’d rate it use the middle name day to day.

If you hate Rose then just remember you’ll have no control over how her name is shortened once she goes to school or is old enough to decide for herself what shortened version she prefers, it’s completely unreasonable to think you can control that forever.

Rarely, not rate it!

I like Primrose, but not paired with Adelaide. I think together they are a little much and do seem a bit like the name of a thing (like a ship, as a PP said, or a resort of some type) rather than the name of a person. I'd pair Primrose with something more classic and plain than Adelaide.

It's bloody awful and pretentious
