Help[Opinions] Re: Primrose or Princess
in reply to a message by Moony2
Princess is beyond pretentious. Primroses don't grow where I live, so my associations are with 'prim', not a pleasing life sentence, and Rose, which is the most trite of all flower names. There was a terrifying serial killer in the UK, his name escapes me; he was a GP and used to routinely murder his elderly lady patients, who all thought he was wonderful because he did house calls; he would then steal whatever he fancied from their jewellery and take it home to his wife, named Primrose, who wore the pieces without questioning their places of origin.
Need I add that I would use neither? No? I thought not.

True Crime Nerd checking in, it was Harold Shipman.

If we use that logic that we shouldn't use any name tied to a serial killer or Natorious criminal in some way than there would be no names left to use. Most young people of child bearing age associate Primrose with the younger sister in the Hunger Games anyways, and most not likely this lady from who knows how long ago if you don't even remember.

This is the Opinions Board, not the Logic Board. It would be surprising if we all thought the same. Surprising, and very dull.

Opinions are born of a train of thought in logic. Which you know already as a teacher, yes?

It would have been around 1998 that Harold Shipman’s crimes were first suspected. I would have been around 13/14 at the time.
Even my first association with Primrose would not be in association with Harold Shipman. I’m sure Primrose was the name of an animated cow I watched in something as I child. Out of Primrose and Princess though I infinitely prefer Primrose.
