Underused and pretty or better suited to an animal?

i think it's fabulous! i had it on my list alll 3 times, but got 3 boys lol
it's pretty

Awful. It'd be fine for a cow but not a baby.

mrmump · 29/10/2009 19:34

I like it, but I also have to say it in Fifi's accent!

liliputlady · 29/10/2009 21:30

Pretty name, but I would worry child would not suit it - it's so girly. Also, she'd get nn Primmy which I'm not keen on. What about using it as a middle name to play safe?!

HerHonesty · 29/10/2009 21:57

lovely. but then i have a buttercup so who am i to talk...

pointyhat · 29/10/2009 22:00

better suited to the beasts

BunnyLebowski · 29/10/2009 22:02

Where I'm from (Northern Ireland) it's a name only found on sturdy staunch protestant middle aged women with sensible shoes..........so not good I'm afraid!

After that it's fifi as mrmump says or one of the daughters in The Darling Buds of May (sadly not CZJ).

HerHonesty - you have a dd called Buttercup?! Wow! I have definitely not heard that one before!

TheMysticMasseuse · 29/10/2009 22:03

why???? call her Rose, it's much classier

piscesmoon · 29/10/2009 22:05

I think it is a cow's name.

HerHonesty · 30/10/2009 17:28

bunny, as a middle name. we get very intersting reactions. some hate hate hate and laugh openly, and others just love it and say it is very charming. it has a special meaning to DH and I so i'm not really that bothered what people think!

MadBadAndWieldingAnAxe · 30/10/2009 17:35

It's a charming name and I think the wife-of-a-serial-killer reaction is likely to be a pretty uncommon one.

Would it really be abbreviated to Primmy? Perhaps we live in a freakish neighbourhood, but round here all the children are known by their given names (which I find quite strange, having grown up in an era when every Jennifer was known as Jenny and every David was known as Dave).

MrsMotMot · 30/10/2009 22:25

Shamelessly girly, I love it

lovemybabyboy · 31/10/2009 12:05

I don't like it sorry.

Vivia · 31/10/2009 12:21

Sorry I don't like it

LaDiDaDi · 31/10/2009 12:22

I like it.
