HelpRe: Primrose
in reply to a message by Mareasi
Short, honest answer: I hate it.
Long, honest answer: I haaaaaaate it. ;)
If Rose is the Queen of Flowers, Primrose must be the helpless princess passively waiting for a rescue. I just don't get the appeal, unless it's for a rabbit or maybe Tinker Bell's new friend from Pixie Hollow. Primrose is just so ornamental and weak sounding...too syrupy, childlike, and twee. For me, it crosses the line from whimsical territory into silly town. Plus, "prim" is awful, and it shouldn't be on anyone's list of the adjectives that should be permanently attached to a modern woman. Yeah, I'm definitely no fan of Primrose. I could probably embrace it as a character name, chosen for effect, but that's all.
Can anyone tell me why Primrose seems to be cropping up on name sites of all sorts lately? It seems like an unlikely choice to suddenly be on so many minds, so there must be a pop culture reference I missed.
