Posy

I'm not looking for opinions on the name Posy (as I know it is universally hated by mn) I love it.

I'm wondering if it rhymes with our surname in a bad way. Or surname sounds nearly exactly the same as Trophy so to prevent outing myself do you think Posy Trophy sounds ok?

Nope, too many "EEEE" sounds. Sounds twee.

Sorry!

I am so sorry as I do love Posy, but it doesn't work.

May I suggest changing surname instead not being serious Wink

What about Rosy nn Rosy Posy?

Yikes no!
Posy is bad enough but.....just no.

No I don't, sorry. Sounds like a Lhasa Aoso's show name. Eeek!

pictish · 27/09/2013 18:54

Lhasa Apso

I think its a lovely name Smile

Sorry, I wouldn't go for it. More because of the o sounds rather than the ending ee.

Do you like Tansy ?

KateCroydon · 27/09/2013 19:01

Please don't. Josephine Trophy sounds good though & Posy is the nn.

MrsBungle · 27/09/2013 19:02

No, it doesn't sound good.

DitsyDonkey · 27/09/2013 19:05

Ok ok just what I was thinking its too much. Pity.....back to the drawing board.

I'm picturing lots of Zoolander type male models in a pouting competition.

What about Primrose...?

I like Posy, but not with your surname. The repeating O sound and the repeating ending both make it not work.

I like the suggestion of Josephine Trophy with Posy as the nn.
