I like it.

Well, yes, it is "hippie yippee hobo free spirited rainbow-ish." I like it. But then I came of age in hippie times, and in a hippie town.

It also reminds me of the Muppet character Prairie Dawn, which I remember from when my son was little.

But would I have used it? No.

Honestly, the only thing I think of when I think of Prairie as a name is the muppet Prairie Dawn.

I think it would be difficult to say in everyday life, but I do think it's pretty and fits with the Piper, Pippa, Paige, Peppa trend =)

Very hippie-dippy. But I like it.

I like it, it has a friendly sunny feel to it.

Honestly - I think oh hell no!

I love it! A fellow graduate student beautifully bears the name, and the prairie has always enchanted me.

It's not ugly but it is hard to say clearly, and is a pretty hippie-ish choice. Apparently even hippies don't use it to speak of.
There is a Muppet on Sesame Street, has been since before my time, named Prairie Dawn. Which I think is very pretty for a character.

"Hippie yippee hobo free spirited rainbow-ish" comes closest.
I would just say it's flaky or eccentric, which isn't totally negative to me, it just isn't quite my taste. I like some names in the category. But Prairie is hard to say because of the R's, like Aurora, and it seems sort of, hm, precious? ... prayer-y, and Little House on the.
