[Opinions] this name was covered pretty recently on here...
in reply to a message by Lily
But I'll repeat:
I don't think Primrose has a future as a name. It's just too theatrical, too cutesy and too overdone. Prim is not a particularly good nn as it's going to be associated with Prissy. Prim and Prissy, there's a fine line between being prim and being a priss.
I can sort of see it as a name for a cow or something, but on a person? No, I don't think we'll ever see much of that, thank goodness.
As for a full name for Rosie, well, I think Rosie sounds cheap and very dated and downscale. I'd expect to see a Rosie as a big fat red-haired woman with too much makeup on, swilling beer and shooting pool in a speakeasy.
I like the name Rose by itself. Lily- Rose is way too sickly-sweet and Mary Rose is not far behind it. Rosemary seems bland and dull to me. Rosa is pretty and more exotic than Rose.

Primrose and Priscilla would be great as sisters.

Maybe in a GP sort of way... in a sit-com or movie or something... Would fit the "Keeping Up Appearances" show mindset.
Rosa is kind of nice... and makes me think of Rosa Parks.
really? Couldn't find a recent thread...
it was maybe a week ago...
