Thanks Monica. Yes it's a bit like being 'A Boy Named Sue'! My granda & uncle were known as Prim which is just slightly better.

That's interesting to learn that Primrose has been used a male forename elsewhere.

No he's not on Roots. We must be distant cousins. Do you still have family living in Aberdeen?

« on: Friday 18 November 11 00:36 GMT (UK) »Primrose Bell Thompson was my 3Xgreatgrandmother's(Mary Thompson) brother. His parents were John Thompson and Margaret Bell, married 3 Feb 1812 in St Nicholas, Aberdeen. The name Primrose(applied to males) was carried on through the generations. The last one known to me is my great grandmother's brother, Primrose Gerrie, who died in infancy. Is there anyone else who has run into this name used for a male?
Hello, I just stumbled upon the site when I searched for this name. The Primrose Bell Thomson who died in 1950 was my maternal grandfather. He was a master plumber who had a son (my uncle) also called Primrose Bell Thomson who has since died and with him the name. My grandfather's family lived at 110 Hutcheon Street Aberdeen. Primrose Bell, as male Christian names, seems to go back to the early 19th century. What I'd like to know is why was the 1st born male Thomson child for generations ever given this name? I don't suppose I will ever know. My brother is currently working on our family tree.
