HelpRe: Primrose
in reply to a message by Lily
Yes, Primrose is too cutesy for me. I think it sounds twee and stuckup.
Prim is annoying. Rosie is fine. Rose is better.
I think Primula (genus name of the flower) or Primarosa would be nicer by about a factor of ten.
I think the second worst thing about Primrose (after the word prim in it and the sound of "prim rows") is the sound, the feeling of saying it - the "pr" plus "mr" is so ... pursed-lippy. Like a word a boudoir photographer would tell the subject to say, to get a big fat pout in the picture. Primrose. Mwah!
Okay, so I've thought about it too hard. But it gags me. I didn't even realize it was in Hunger Games, I thought it was just a flower-name trend gone wild sort of thing.
I favor just plain Rose, from your list. Rosemary is not bad either. Actually any of them are okay with me, except Primrose. Rose combines well with many short names IMO.
