[Opinions] I agree on Primrose.

It gets so much press, and I've always hated it. It's so fussy, and how would the parents feel if they had to walk into a class full of Sophias, Elizabeths, and Avas and say, "Hi, I'm Primrose."? Probably not very good.

Thats why it works great as a mn

...and besides that it isn't much different than naming your child Lily, Rose, Violet, or Iris in my eyes and in today's world, those names are VERY popular.

How about Magnolia?

I like that much more than Primrose, but then I'd like just about anything else more than Primrose including Kaylee.

What? You favor the ersatz and insubstantial Kaylee over Primrose?

I'm baffled.

I totally abhor Primrose. Yes, I prefer Kaylee to Primrose.

Magnolia is fine, and it even has great nicknames like Nola, Maggie, Nell, and Lia. It isn't mainstream but that doesn't mean it is bad, just as is the case with Primrose.

The child would probably feel fine. It's a legitimate name and it hasn't got bad meaning or anything. Fair enough if it isn't your style.
