Is 'Posy' strong enough to use as a stand alone name...?

[Stateofgrace]

Just that really.

Not keen on Josephine or Persephone and lacking thought as to what else Posy could be a diminutive for...help!

TIA x

I like Posy, short for Primrose.

Loving posy so so cute

Agree with Ruprekt. Yes it is cute for a little girl but she will be an adult for much longer than she is a child and her name should (or have the option to) reflect that. Imo either use it as a middle name or use it as a nickname. If you love it that much and you would be quite happy with it as a family nickname then you could pick a name that has no connection to it. Or as WeAreSix points out Rosie Posy can work so you could call her a Rose name.

Thanks guys, we have decided on Elowen Posy Alice... :)

Your contributions are much appreciated x

Awww! That's so gorgeous!

Broody now..!

Congratulations!!

Congratulations - beautiful name :)

Nothing wrong with Posy as a PM by the way. We never say this about boy's names. If she was a strong, feisty, intelligent, articulate, principled, passionate Posy, I would totally vote for her :)

But Elowen is also gorgeous xxx

Horrid. Ok as a pet name from mum or dad if u insist but not on a grown woman....

Not even as a middle name nectarini ?

Love it

Don't tell anyone before she's born- they won't be rude when is actually her name.

Are you a Noel Streatfield fan OP? Josie is a diminutive of Josephine and that's nice too.

That's a beautiful name. Congratulations

Not for me im afraid... makes me think of 'Ring a ring of roses, a pocket full of posies.' Which was about the black plague.......

But everyone has different tastes thankfully else we'd all have the same name!

If you and babys dad really like it then dont be deterred x

Oops, sorry, didn't see you'd decided. Unusual but pretty.

My dds middle name is rose & we often use posy. I love it.

The simple answer is -no, it isn't.
