Topsy ??

[caset]

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

Bloody awful.

Can't stand that stupid programme either!

Oh god noooooooooooo

No, no,no.

That's just really cruel

What about Tansy? It’s Topsy’s (and Tim’s) little sister. And much cuter.

No.

Automatically think Tim. Sorry

It's a great name for a rabbit 🐰

Don't even joke.

I think Topsy is cute for a baby or toddler, but names last a life time. It would seem odd for a teenager let alone an adult woman.

I'd associate with Tim or "growing like". Not a parent but if Topsy and Tim is still going please don't. I found them an incredibly annoying pair.

Going to buck the trend and say I love it! Always have and so what if it’s associated with Topsy and Tim - classic children’s series, the books have been around for years so don’t think of it as something from CBeebies! If it really worries you why not go for it as a middle name with something more traditional as a first name the child can use if they like when older if they want to, I think it’s great though and would love a Topsy.

In my family it's just used for whichever little girl you're with — so I see it more like tilly-flop or cherub rather than a 'proper' name.

It's also quite a nice instrumental by the Benny Goodman band, I presume written for a Topsy originally.

No.

Lovely as a nickname. For Autopsy

Dear me no.

How about Titty - from Swallows and Amazons?

What was it a nickname for Hellywelly10?

I'm going to go against the grain and say I love it. Yes, it will always have the Topsy and Tim association, but having a name from a children's book is no bad thing. Having grown up with the books in the 80s it never occured to me that Topsy was anything other than a perfectly good name.
Do it.

Oh shat up

Well it was my childhood nickname, my dad still occasionally calls me Topsy. But it’s not anything close to my real name which is normal and traditional. I think it’s ridiculous as a name in its own right.

I know a 60 year old Topsy and she's a stuck up thunder cunt.

Do it, but I would spell it TopC because you dont want to be the same as all the others who will copy you for thinking of such a cute name for your poor child to have to bear for the next 80 something years.

Headteacher, Topsy X.......

Speaking at the United Nations, Prime Minister Topsy X

Baroness Topsy of Toyland , chair of the Select Commitee

No.

I wouldn’t think of it as a stand alone name no. It was my Nan’s nickname however her name was Eileen

Her name was rose. It wasnt short for anything. The topsy reference related to the slave in uncle toms cabin as she has tight curley afro ish hair (this was the 1920's).
