Help[Opinions] Re: Primrose (ETA)
in reply to a message by Lily
It seems like one of those BtN darlings that has a mixture of those of us who either really like or really dislike it. I think it's ugly and starchy and stuffy and doesn't feel very namey. It sounds like a name given to a kid conceived through an affair w/ the gardener.
I wouldn't inflict it on a child personally... Though I suppose if the child hated it, the girl could choose to just go by Rose.
DEFINITELY like Meadow better than Primrose. No contest.
Finding its way into pop-fiction also kinda makes it seem a little lame and pop-culture more than real life in some ways since a number of other names mentioned for characters in the show/book aren't normal names... even if that's not where you got it from or why you liked it in the first place.
(ETA) Something about its style just feels like calling a child Table or Chair or Vase or something... It's just not working for me.
