Help[Opinions] Re: Primrose
in reply to a message by Perrine
I like it but I don't love it. I care for it the most when used as a mn. I actually prefer Primrose as a mn compared to Rose since Rose is so over used as a mn.
The name makes me think of primroses, roses, and Evening Primrose which is a beautiful scented flower that blossoms at night and is pollinated by moths in the moonlight. Evening Primrose oil is often used in perfume and has some medicinal properties.
When I first considered the name Primrose not long after reading the Hunger Games series I didn't care for it but this year I've started to really like it especially as a mn.
As a fn it is definitely cute but I feel it has subtly and substance other than just cuteness. Also it is less cute than Poppy, Daisy, Daffodil, Petunia, and Meadow. It is about as cute as Marigold, Tansy, Lobelia, Lavender, and Lilac. Primrose is definitely cuter than Rose, Lily, Iris, Violet, Rosemary, and Angelica but I don't feel that Primrose is too cute for use.
Primrose and Marigold feel like the perfect names for sisters, as fn's possibly too cute and themed for actual daughters but definitely not too cute as mn's. They have some nn's that are less cute which helps if they are used as fns although not all of the nn's are less cute. Prim, Rose, Rosa, and Rosie for Primrose. Mara, Mary, Golda, and Goldie for Marigold.
It makes sense that Primrose is becoming more used in England since names like Poppy, Daisy, and Ruby are so popular there. The name Rose is also becoming more popular in England.
