What do you think of Pansy?

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

Pansy awful!!

Posy awful!!

Topsy awful!!

Tansy was my cats name.

I liked it before Harry Potter and Zingzillas.

I have hidden these baby name threads now, the stuff women are coming out with is getting more and more ridiculous. pansy dolly. Poor bleeding kids.

I prefer Tansy.

Another name for tansy is mugwort.

It was used for centuries as a cure for internal parasites, and also to induce abortions.

Pansy is an soft insult in this house (DH started it, we have 3 boys). Along with Dippy, Dipbrain, Turnipbrain, etc.

There are many plants called mugwort, odd that. We have the wormwood mugwort round here.

I think its an insult boys use to mean "gay".

One of my 'tests' is if I was at a business meeting and we did intro's how would I feel giving my name as ___ sorry but Pansy fails my test hands down its just not strong/credible enough for me.

Tansy might be the wormwood mugwort as its volatile oil contains thujone, which is also found in absinthe. (Chernobyl is the Ukrainian word for mugwort or wormwood, interestingly)

I love my herbs. Have homemade tinctures galore in the cupboard and have made a wicked comfrey salve that seems to be curing all manner of skin ills in the kittywise house.

Sorry - do not like one little bit

Not a fan of names that are cute on a baby but not great (IMO) for grown woman
