Re: Primrose
in reply to a message by Lily
When I was a relatively new member (2007-2008), I could have sworn Primrose was popular on this board. Not Alice/Iris popular, but it was mentioned a looot and everyone seemed to like it. But then, the board seemed to have actual week-month long trends then too, more than it seems to now (like someone would make a post about a name, and then a bunch more people would mention it in other threads, and then it'd go away).
[Though, from the data I keep, it didn't make the 2008 BTN list. Maybe it was only popular as a MN suggestion?]
I don't hate it; I don't love it. I hadn't heard of the flower until I got here and the name never really grew on me.
I think it could be a neat middle name. I don't like it or Meadow much as a FN, but there are very few words I like as FNs anyway. I like it better than Meadow though.
Never met one.
(also, why do you need the board to approve, or have anything positive to say? I'd prefer that the board didn't like it, myself. Especially if it's not popular on the regular charts too, then it's like it's all mine ;))

I don't want my favorites to be popular either but I don't want people to hate them. It must be not very nice to have a name most people dislike. I mean it could probably grow on them, I guess, if they met a Primrose. Did it make the list in any other year? Just wondering...if it doesn't take too much time to look it up. Or would you even share the list? I'd be really interested :)

PM me your email and I can send you the data (I offer this every time I post the data) for whichever year you like (except 2012, it's obviously not done... choose from 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, and "all time").
[and I'm about to go to work so you won't get it until later tonight]
You'll need a Excel-like program. I made it in OpenOffice, but it should open in Microsoft office and any other similar program.
I'd post it but since there's so much data I couldn't do it all at once.
But I looked it up already in the interest of this thread:
2008: 0
2009: 1
2010: 3
2011: 3
2012: 1 (you, i think)
