Blossom

[Scabadadabadooo]

Is it that bad? I really like it, and I've tried it on a few people and they've seemed to like it too. I know of a 3 year old one and she suits it and gets called Bloss. My DH likes it but thinks it's too risky as it's so girly and a bit marmite so she might not like it.
I personally don't think it sounds more girly than Rosie, Poppy etc which are all popular, but I appreciate it is more unusual. I don't really care about the TV series, I didnt see it and kids these days won't know it.

I know 2 one is 19 and the other is 21 and both mixed Chinese/English.

I love Meadow but dhs cousin has a Meadow. I quite like Posy but think it might have the same issue as Blossom.
Lavender is nice, but maybe a bit too much.

I think it's a pretty name and I think it's fine for a little girl or an adult woman to have a pretty name.

Awful
Bloss is worse

I love it! Can’t think of a nice nickname though.

Lola? That’s my name if I ever had a girl (had 2 boys)

Love it

I'm sorry OP, but it's horrendous.

Posy is very sweet and a traditional diminutive for Josephine.

Primrose? I don't like it myself, but it's better than Blossom.

Oh, just thought... you don't happen to have Irish connections do you? Bláthnaid (BLAW-nid) is pretty and means 'little flower'. The one I know goes by Bonnie sometimes.

Try introducing yourself as Blossom for a week and see how it feels

I used to know someone called Blossom about 50 years ago. She was very exotic looking so it suited her.

As someone who was named BLOSSOM by their hippy mother I urge you to avoid it. It was cute when I was little but when I moved away to university I used a different name of my choosing. I couldn’t face being 18 and introducing myself as Blossom. I couldn’t even use my middle names because they are even bloody worse.

I would only ever name an animal Blossom its not appropriate for a human.

I like it!

Are you mid pregnancy? I came up with some properly mad names at that stage. My now late teens are horrified by what they were near called!

I like it - named a guinea pig it.

Not for a child though.

Agree, sounds like a milking cow of yesteryear. Rose is nice.

Have it as a second name OP.
First name Peach or Cherry ...

(lighthearted suggestion)

Would you like to be called Blossom? Can you imagine sitting in a doctor's waiting room and hear them call out "Blossom Peters"? I would be embarrassed tbh although I guess you'd get used to it.

I'm curious as to what could be worse 😆

My bestie is pregnant with a girl and she’s calling her blossom! Blossy as a NN- I LOVE it

I love it. But then I also like Blossom Dearie. I think it depends on your surname. Blossom Sidebottom would be grim.

Lavender, Posy, Amaryllis, Veronica, Iris, Cherry, Jessamine, Laurel, Garance, Rhodanthe, Hortensia (one of my favourite names), Hebe, Dahlia, May, Linden, Willow, Primrose, Ivy, Holly . . .

all lovely names that are flowers, trees or plants.

NOT BLOSSOM

I sometimes think parents let rip with the middle names. My first name is the dullest you could imagine. My middle name is completely out there.

I love it too!

Bloss will become Blossy which sounds like Bossy. Great name for a goat, cow, chicken not so much for a human!
if you want something flowery and unusual then:
Daphney
Peony
Camellia
Clematis
Zinnia

I like the name OP but agree with others, it won't suit an adult woman. And honestly Bloss is horrible. When's the baby due? If April, then how about that if you wanted a spring name. Otherwise for less used floral names how about Heather, Jasmine, Hazel or Briar.
