Narrowed it down - which do you prefer?

[Violetandpurple]

Our 4th baby girl is due in the summer.

Madeline
Matilda
Primrose

All 3 go lovely with our other dd's names
Primrose I think is beautiful but is it too out there.. which do you prefer and why.

Love Madeline

Matilda is my favourite out of those 3 😊

Matilda Primrose is a great combination

I prefer primrose

Madeline. One of my best friends at school was called, 'Madeline' - Maddy. I think it's a lovely name and quite classic.

Madeleine.

Matilda is too popular and I’m not a fan anyway. Don’t like Primrose.

The estate agent I bought my house from was an extremely beautiful and very sweet Prim. I really liked it.

Madeline is beautiful. Absolutely love it!

Matilda or Madeline.

Definitely not Primrose, that 'prim' bit is horrible.

Primrose

Primrose is lovely! And Prim is a great shortening I think. Reminds me of the girl from Hunger Games.

I think people always react to anything a little different but actually it’s a straightforward name to spell and say. Matilda is quite bland to me. Madeline is ok, but would definitely be Maddie so you have to be ok with that I think.

I like Madeline and Matilda. I really dislike Primrose, I'd hate that to be my name. It's prissy.

Matilda or Madeleine - both lovely, would probably go with Matilda as I am not keen on Maddy.

Primrose I think it’s appallingly wet.
The fact that poor bullied Mrs Shipman was Primrose doesn’t help much either.

Who on earth wants to be called Prim as a nn?!

Prim and Proper is not what you want a 21st century girl to be.

Primrose is lovely, so pretty.

OP I like Primrose best out of your selection, but - though this may not matter at all - it's no longer 'out there'. It's one of the names that's been growing fastest in popularity over the past two or three years. This website lets you check trends in baby names in England and Wales over the past 25 years:
names.darkgreener.com/#primrose
Even so, there is now such a large number of names used for girls that the total number of babies with any name, except perhaps the top 20, is never going to be very great. (There were only 320 babies named Primrose in England and Wales in 2020, for example.)

Prim a great shortening?!

Yuck.

And Prim is a great shortening I think

Really?? Who on earth wants to end up as Miss Prim.

Primrose. Is violet out ? Just looking at your user name x

Madeline
Matilda is awful.

Primrose

Ivv ve like Matilda best but it is popular

I love Primrose too, would nn Posey

My friend (57) is a Madz... fab shortening of Madeline.. she's Maddie to her family and Madz to her mates... still...

Primrose

They're all pretty but I'm not too keen on Prim as a shortening.

Marigold, Rosalind, Margeruite? Just some suggestions that spring to mind.

Congratulations
