What do you think of Pansy as a girl's name?

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).

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

maxpower · 20/08/2010 21:26

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
