Topsy

[mrsb83]

What do you honestly think of the name Topsy?

I knew a Tansy once. A little better than Topsy?

You cannot be serious, I refuse to believe anyone would actually consider calling a child Topsy. Unless they loathed them.

I like it!

I Quite like it. I had lovely elderly relative called Topsy. I don't know if it was her real name though. It's no different to Betsy or Patsy to me.

It's cat's name.

Tansy is lovely. A nice alternative to Poppy, Daisy etc.

Get a grip. Topsey? Ridiculous

I would think you were a bit light and would stay well clear of you to be honest.

The only Topsy I know is the character from Uncle Tom's Cabin. And she iritates me.

Cute for a rabbit. Bearable as a human nickname. Dreadful as an actual name.

Sorry.

I can't imagine an adult Topsy. Well, I can. In my imagination she's an awful, braying PTA running, teacher terrorising woman.

Tansy is lovely, though.

Pmsl. If you love it use it as a nickname.

Will she gave a twin brother called Tim?

The designer and polymath William Morris was nn Topsy, or Top for short......not a name I'd choose for my DC though. Do like Tansy!

Topsy is a rabbit's name. My pet rabbit was called Topsy. Topsy is not a human name.

I think it's a nice name but read in a baby name group that it's short for top sail which is what slaves named their babies en route to America thinking they were giving them an English name so not the most pleasant of backgrounds if that bothers you?

Nice for a pet, no good for a child.

DH and I considered Oopsie for DD but only for fun.

Raphaella And, of course, Gabriel Rossetti's wombat!

Your DH must be tipsy.

I might be wrong, but I think it's a name associated with the slave trade - a shortening of topsail. So I really really wouldn't.
Even aside from that, I really really wouldn't.

Oh dear. Pregnancy hormones really can make you go quite loopy...

The friend and the DH are not pregnant, Luna. They are the ones who think Topsy is a reasonable name.

Well, in the absence of hormones to blame, he's just a fecking diot. And what's the friend doing "suggesting" names, anyway? Ever so slightly over stepping the mark, I'd have thought?

Idiot, not diot. Although he's probably that too...

My best friend had a cat called Topsy. It is not a name for a person.
