Not a fan unfortunately

SeaDragon17 · 23/06/2025 20:45

Sounds like a cow

MrsBungle · 23/06/2025 20:46

Aww I LOVE it. I also love Rosemary.

HallidayJones6779 · 23/06/2025 20:47

i like Primrose, but agree with poster above on Rosemary!

Zov · 23/06/2025 20:48

All I think of is Primrose Everdeen - Hunger Games. (sorry.) Also the name of a cow (sorry)

ninjahamster · 23/06/2025 20:48

I think it is sweet.

MrsTerryPratchett · 23/06/2025 20:49

Too cutesy. Rosemary is stronger and more flexible.

UpToMyElbowsInDiapers · 23/06/2025 20:49

Nickname “Prim”, like a Dickensian school mistress? I’m not sure…

JazzyBBBG · 23/06/2025 20:49

Love it. Remind me of Darling Buds of May.

Torkieshorkie · 23/06/2025 20:50

Why are ppl suggesting rosemary ….its awful!

I really like primrose go for it

Enko · 23/06/2025 20:50

I like it

BootballJoy · 23/06/2025 20:50

Sorry i don't much like the prim bit. It's also a bit twee for me - i couldn't tell you why, lots of the names people say on here are twee i find fine! But Primrose, Rosie, Maisie and Poppy cross the twee line for me.

I like the flower though.

Edenmum2 · 23/06/2025 20:51

I think Prim is not a nice nickname

Pomegranatemum · 23/06/2025 20:51

Like it. Nearly used it for DD2. We were going to go for Primrose, nn Rosie, but with the knowledge she could choose Prim or Ros later in life if she wanted.

Whenyouknowbetteryoudobetter · 23/06/2025 20:52

Beautiful and different

chocolatelover91 · 23/06/2025 21:00

I have a friend who has named her daughter primrose. It's different, but I have heard her refer to her as prim before now 🙈😂 definitely not for me!

RaleighWillows · 23/06/2025 21:00

If you like I definitely go for it! Like some other posters the nickname Prim would put me off a little but its really pretty in full.

What about Rosalie?

JamesWebbSpaceTelescope · 23/06/2025 21:01

Love it.

luckylavender · 23/06/2025 21:02

Lovely

Lins77 · 23/06/2025 21:02

I'm not keen. There are much nicer "flower" names IMO.

GoodVibesHere · 23/06/2025 21:30

It's too twee, and Prim isn't a great nn

alcoholnightmare · 23/06/2025 21:30

Love it

Persisnmum9090 · 23/06/2025 21:31

I think its pretty and if you like it that is the answer

Ihaveacatwhoisfat · 23/06/2025 21:36

Don’t like it at all, far too twee. It’s a name for a cow.

needrain · 23/06/2025 21:40

I really like it its different in a good way really nice i bloody love it.
A name thats not really around.
