Not so fond of Pansy but love, love, love Posy.

Not my cup of tea.
I tend not to be much into the really girly names though: milly, molly, tilly, poppy etc.

And there is a character called Panzee on the world's most annoying children's programme (Zingzillas).

Conjures up an old woman with scraggly hair and thousands of cats in my mind.

It's an insult among boys.

An insult for boys. Zingzillas. Two reasons why I dislike it.

maxpower · 20/08/2010 21:26

orienteerer · 20/08/2010 21:27

NO

Shaz10 · 20/08/2010 21:29

Rockbird · 21/08/2010 09:15

Pansy Potter the Strongman's Dotter :o

Hate it, sorry.

Needaname · 21/08/2010 09:35

Awful. Knew a Tansy growing up. Slightly better IMO.

pinkgrasshopper · 21/08/2010 10:19

My friend had a guinea pig called Pansy when we were kids, and I'm afraid people even took the mickey out of the poor pet so wouln't recommend it for a child!

mistressploppy · 21/08/2010 10:20

Not keen. What about Topsy?

piratecat · 21/08/2010 10:21
