The name Primrose in Hebrew letters is פרימרוז. Below: how its number adds up, which page of the Torah it falls on and what verse stands there. Everything is computed, nothing is guessed.
פרימרוז
In short
Your name in Hebrew letters is פרימרוז. Primrose is an English name taken from the spring flower; the word comes from Latin prima rosa, “first rose”. It came into use in Britain in the 19th century with other flower names. In Hebrew it is written by sound. Adding up the numbers of its letters gives 543 — the same as the Torah word מגרש, “pastureland”. That number points to Torah page 189 of 354 — in the portion Metzora. What that portion is about: Purification from tzaraat: two birds, cedar and hyssop; tzaraat of houses; discharges and purification. Each of these steps is laid out below with its sources. Every figure can be checked by hand.
You wrote “Primrose” — this exact spelling is what was calculated: פרימרוז. A name from the Tanakh — its Tanakh spelling is used. If your name is spelled differently, correct the Hebrew spelling and the report is recomputed.
Adding up the letters of the name פרימרוז gives 543.
543
The number 543 is the Torah word מגרש — «pastureland» (Leviticus 25:34).
And the priest that cleanseth him shall set the man that is to be cleansed, and those things, before HaShem, at the door of the tent of meeting.
This is from the portion Metzora. What it is about: Purification from tzaraat: two birds, cedar and hyssop; tzaraat of houses; discharges and purification.
Other ways of counting
The tradition counts the same name in several ways. The main one is above: each letter is its number. The other eight are old and checkable too; each gives its own number, and many of them have a Torah word with the same number.
Final letters as 500–900 (mispar gadol) — 543. A Torah word with the same number is מגרש — “pastureland” (Leviticus 25:34).
Reduced, each letter to one digit (mispar katan) — 30. A Torah word with the same number is כי — “for, because, that” (Genesis 1:4).
Ordinal: alef 1, bet 2 … tav 22 (mispar siduri) — 93. A Torah word with the same number is צבא — “host, army” (Genesis 2:1).
Cumulative: a letter plus all letters before it (mispar kidmi) — 2244.
Squares of the letter values (mispar perati) — 88185.
Building: the sum grows with each letter (mispar bone’eh) — 2589.
The letters that come out are וגמיגפע — not a word that stands in the Pentateuch. Atbash: letters mirrored, alef for tav, bet for shin, and the number of the resulting word — 212. A Torah word with the same number is ריב — “quarrel, dispute” (Genesis 26:20).
Filling: the names of the letters are counted — alef, bet, gimel… (milui) — 1280.
The number 543 appears in the classical books 1 time across 1 work. The earliest mention is שער מאמרי רשב"י (~1573).

For an engraving, a sign or a tattoo, show the spelling to someone who reads Hebrew: transliterating a name is a choice, not the only option.
The name פרימרוז does not stand as a word in the Pentateuch — as with most names, including many Tanakh names from the later books.
The verse of your name
Neither the Pentateuch nor the whole Tanakh has a verse that begins with פ and ends with ז. That happens with some letter pairs and means nothing in itself.
The name פרימרוז has no such day. The numbers of the dates in a year cover 326 values out of 940, and 543 is not among them. Half of all names are like this — neither good nor bad, just a fact of counting.
Add a date of birth and the verse of meeting from that week's portion is added to the reading.
Each Hebrew letter has a number; a word's number is their sum (alef 1 … tav 400). The page is the remainder modulo 354: the Torah divided into 354 pages of 861 letters, as the lunar year has 354 days. Everything can be checked by hand.
