Sorry but I just think of the cheese spread. It's only available in the UK, so it'd be OK if you didn't live there. But for me it would be like naming a child Cheez Whiz or something :P

How would you pronunce this ? Prim-oola Prim-U-la ?
I dislike it based on pronunciation and I dislike the U in it. It looks foreign which I guess in essence it is because its coming from latin but paired with the name combos you gave it just seems odd.
I also dislike Prim names as first names cause it sounds well prissy. Prim and proper or primping come to mind.

It's pronounced "PRI-mew-la" / "PRIM-yoo-la."
