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.

Sounds absolutely bloody ridiculous. Get a grip!

I like Primrose but the initial combo of P and A might not sit well with your surname. PAM, PAT, PAW, PAD etc

I like Rose, but Primrose is too much. I’d have hated it at school. Prim almost seems like an insult.

Another that thinks it wouldn’t are well. After she’s turned 10/12 i don’t think it fits.
I also know an adult Primrose and she hates it and calls herself Rosie.

It sounds like a nursing home.

I like it. Primrose is currently shooting up the charts at the moment if that bothers you. Prim and Posy are cute nicknames, and there’s always the option for the very conventional Rose if she prefers that.

I don’t understand the love for Primrose, it’s not a name I like. Too twee. Especially Posy. It’s all a bit of a mouthful if I’m honest.

Don’t like Primrose and I don’t think it goes with Adelaide.

I don’t like either of them sorry and would hate to be called Primrose myself.

Wynn and Prim are a bit rhymey for me. Potentially very confusing when shouting up the stairs!

I would swap them round personally but each to their own

I think it's really pretty.

I really like it

I like Posy and Adelaide but not Prim or Primrose

I would hate to be called Primrose. I was an awkward child and sporty teenager. I am 5:7 and not remotely delicate. Having the burden of such a twee, delicate name would be unbearable.

The Adelaide doesn’t work as a middle name for Primrose - you would be better with Adela which is a lovely medieval origin name

It sounds like she arrived in the Fourth at Malory Towers, indulged by her governess and adored by Gwendolen Mary Lacey until it turns out daddy's bankrupt and she's actually on a scholarship. But she can sing! So all is redeemed.

I wouldn't use Primrose if you hate Rose because she may choose that as her nickname.

I don't like Primrose either. Sorry. Adelaide is OK.

Prim. No.
So many better flower names.
If you like Posie then lovely classic Rosemary. (I suspect we don’t have the same taste though)

I’m not keen on the name Primrose. I associate it with Harold Shipman’s wife.

Really like Adelaide, primrose is ok but not keen on prim....posy is cute reminds me of ballet shoes..

Primrose is lovely, don't like your nn. Rose would be a better idea for a nn.

Adelaide I don't like. It's one of those clumpy names that should be reserved for... something that isn't a human.

Together, they do sound like the name of a ship as someone mentioned upthread.

I hate Primrose - Prim is a terrible nn - who wants to be prim?! It’s a really drippy name all round.

How about Jasmine?

Adelaide is nice enough, though I think Adela is much nicer.

… especially as your older ones have such lovely names - which will work well as adults - I’d be really pissed off to be landed with drippy Primrose… and Posy is as wet as Prim.

Primrose is Dr. Shipman's wife's name so that would be a bit off-putting for me But your baby your choice!
