My friend is due this week, don’t know the gender, and is desperately looking for names to go with sister Primrose / Prim. Thank you!

Marriette, Victoria, Petunia, Zinnia.

Well clearly it has to alliterate

Patricia (it’s coming back in fashion)
Penelope
Petunia
Petronella (this is also coming back in fashion)
Pippi (as in Longstocking)
Poppy

…hang on though. Primrose and Poppy might be the horrific twins in Ben and Holly. I’m quite drunk on red wine right now.
….Pandora
Pascale
Philomena
Priscilla
Opal

Opal does not begin with P but I think it’s a good name.

My grandmother was primrose - prim
sister was Dorothy - dolly
brother eustace - stace

hope that helps!

Violet or Willow, Eden or Iris or Penny for a girl or Aurelia (means golden if she wanted a yellow theme!).

Elliot, Benjamin, Ellis or Oakley for a boy.

Do come back and let us know what she chooses, and good luck for the birth of the baby. I'm sure the fairy godmothers of MN would love to know.

SallyWD · 24/02/2024 18:27

Primrose and Dorothy goes beautifully. I initially thought Marigold but I think Dorothy is better.
As for boys: Henry, Angus, Jude, Edgar

Goldwakeme · 24/02/2024 18:28

Definitely Marigold.

DibbleDooDah · 24/02/2024 18:28

Ned for a boy

Lois for a girl

WhoaJayShettybambalam · 24/02/2024 18:29

Petunia or Elspeth for a girl
Barnaby or Rupert for a boy

Any flower name will be pretty to go with Primrose but maybe a bit twee imo.
