Hello


I have recently fell in love with the name Blossom. I love it but my sister in law says it sounds stupid and my husbands sitting on the fence. Any opinions?

I'm a bit of a sucker for nature names, so I kind of like Blossom. Admittedly, it's a bit early-90s retro because of the TV show, but I like it. I also like Fern, Meadow and Willow...so I may have a wee bit of a bias. *grin*

I'll go ahead and answer the question.

Yeah, the main character was a girl named Blossom; there was another character named Six. I never watched the show, but my cousins had the Blossom paper dolls.


As a more recent association, there's a cartoon called the Powerpuff Girls, about three young girls who are superheroes. They are named Blossom, Bubbles, and Buttercup.

I'm kind of on the fence with Blossom too. I think it's cute, but its not something I would ever pick personally either.

I'm from rural Iowa, so to me, Blossom is a cow's name.
