Primrose or Fleur

[JustinCase23]

Baby girl is due soon, which do you prefer?
Surname is fairly common two syllable name.

Primrose

Primrose was Harold Shipman's wife's name and I couldn't get past it. But I'm old.

Primrose. I don't think Fleur will sound nice in most regional accents. Maybe if you're super posh and it sounds a bit like "Flah".

Both awful!
Florence
Ffion
Fay
Felicity
Faith
Fiona
Penelope
Polly
Phoebe

I agree about the accents with Fleur although I do prefer it to Primrose. I think Rose is nicer.

Thanks for the replies. I appreciate they’re not everyone’s taste but no name is universally liked! And we do like both names. It has been nice to see other people do too, but it has been an eye opener regarding how Fleur could sound in different accents.

Neither of us knew who Harold Shipman was and regardless there have been plenty of Teds, Jacks, Jefferys and Johns who appear to live without serial killer associations.

Definitely Primrose. Gorgeous name x

Fleur

Primrose is terrible

Primrose - is Fifi and The Flowertots still in kids tv? That's what it makes me think of

Fleur - just a bit meh

Fleur, because it's a fabulous name!

I have a Fleur, so obviously biased, but I think it's the most beautiful name and suits a baby right though to an adult 😍

When I look at Fleur I imagine Cilla Black saying it for some reason, and it ain't pretty, so that would put me off. Primrose is OK.

My favourite is Primrose, I think it's a lovely name

Fleur - lovely.

I don't think even super posh would pronounce it "Flah"!

It'll always rhyme with "Purr".

Me too.

I much prefer Primrose. Fleur sounds more like a sound than a name. Like, Bleugh/eurgh/urgh.

Neither.. how bout Flora or just Rose?

Fleur sounds like someone being sick to me and Primrose is just so.. prim

Fleur or Florence

There are other nicer flower names.
Marigold
Poppy
Heather
Iris
Lily
Rose
Zinnia
Daisy
Ivy

Fleurette is a family name I quite like, meaning little flower

Primrose. Just gorgeous.

Blur/ Flux = Fleur

Primrose is lovely.

Neither of us knew who Harold Shipman was

Whaaat??? Are you in the UK?

I'm thinking of Made in Chelsea (or the Princesses from 'the Windsors') who drop the last consonant of every other word 🤣 Although now someone has said Cilla Black I can't help but hear it in her accent...

Love both but Primrose I think
