Topsy ??

[caset]

Would you consider this a girls name or is too associates with topsy and Tim?

Whaaat?! No way. I'm all for an unusual name but no.

I think Topsy and Tom or that giraffe in Ra-Ra... sorry

Please don’t

'Grew and grew like topsy... '

That's what my mum used to say. I have no idea...

If you're naming a rabbit maybe!

Just don't do it

No.

What is topsy a nickname for? Its never occurred to me before that it must be short for something.

And when I hear topsy I always, always think tim. Sorry!

I know an adult Topsy. I’d always assumed it was a NN, but google suggests that it is a real name. Well I never.

Please don't. your child will grow up with major issues and hate you. Equally bunny, tarquin, Esmeralda and Peppa.

I mean, really? Really?

You are either naming a jollyhockeysticks type who goes to school with Araminta and Hermione, a rabbit or a ragdoll. None are good.

Why scar a child in such a way? I sense a deed poll in the future.

I think it would go very well if your surname happens to be Turvey, otherwise no!

Topsy turvy as in: upside down/chaotic/a mess/back to front. Not great associations for a dc. Do you like names like Cricket, Muffin, Bunny, Binky, Beau, Bear, Gigi? Topsy and these are all nicknames for me, but others may disagree..

No way.

It's lovely..... for a rabbit. Not so much for an actual human being.

I'm just picturing reading a job application from a Topsy ....nope it's doesn't work in the slightest.

Don't be silly

Topsy is a slave in Uncle Tom's Cabin.

Why don't you change your name to Topsy, and give your child a lovely, normal name?

Yes, Topsy is a girl slave in Uncle Tom's Cabin, she says something like "I just growed and growed...."

As a professional fekko well there's your answer!

It's a no from me too.

Blimey - if never have pegged mum as a reader of uncle toms cabin!

Was my nans nn so i love it.

It's the name of a pet, not a person. Please don't inflict it on a child

Oh, as a nickname I think it's really cute. Just not as a "real" name
