But you know what? It's funny, if Primrose so perfectly embodies the stereotype of what girls were expected to be, how come it was never or almost never used back then?
My theory is even back then people thought it was stupid.

Bahaha.
I think maybe because it wasn't Biblical? Perhaps?
But I don't know. Some families I'm surprised men didn't name their daughters Silence and Obedience.

some did, apparently...
Puritans had some pretty strange names for both male and female children. Fear, Difficulty, Remember, Deliverance, ("Squeal, Piggy!") Providence, Comfort, that kind of thing. But by and large, ordinary names like mary, Dorothy, John and George (two of which are not even Biblical) were much mor popular.
