Is 'Primrose Guard' an alright name for a fantasy-setting military? (hexbear.net)

The good guys are a leftist Kingdom with gender-equality (sortof a matriarchy).

So I'm going with a deliberately girly name.

Wondering what comes to your mind when you hear this? Does it work as a name?

What associations come to your mind when you hear 'Primrose Guard'?

It doesn't sound real is my biggest complaint with it. Most military organizations with fancy names, imagery, and wealth were chivalric orders. So, mostly noble knights. They wouldn't want to call themselves guards because they're kinda stuck up.
