Help[Opinions] Re: Primrose and Honey
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
They weren't really. I meant they all seem niche to me.
Patience had a moderate surge in popularity in the US for about 20 years then dropped off the chart approx 10 years ago. I feel like it was probably mentioned more here about 10 years ago, but it could have been just one or two posters for all I know (I'm remembering a UK poster had a kid named Patience Isobel?). We could call it a fad because its rise/fall was pretty abrupt and relatively short, but it never really got to the level of being mainstream imo (never got past #500, although I have met one), so it's not the type of fad that makes it seem dated. It's still used here a moderate amount for a rare name (235 times in 2021, so about 3x more than Primrose, or as much as Honor and Constance combined).
Clover has started charting in the UK and US (it got 322 uses in 2021, which put it at #860). It jumped over 100 spots two years in a row, but I think it does have a trendy sound (like Chloe, Harper). I don't think it will get mega popular either, but idk; potentially it could rise here about like Primrose has risen in the UK.

All fair enough. I personally love the name Clover, so I hope it doesn’t get popular! I’m in Australia though and I’ve only ever heard of two women named Clover, one of whom I knew irl. Doesn’t strike me as trendy at all.
