Topsy ??

[caset]

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

I think pregnancy hormones send people bonkers. Especially on Mumsnet.

I have a Topsy!

Oh, wait, it's the cat, but she thinks she's human......

I always thought Titty from Swallows and Amazons was a shortening of Matilda for some reason (obviously usually Tilly, but my brain linked Titty to Matilda). I looked it up when I read it to my kids though, and apparently the real Titty disliked her given name and named herself after a character from the macarbe little fairy tale Titty mouse and Tatty mouse - in which everyone/ everything dies...

Topsy is a terrible name too OP, for all the reasons already given.

An old Aunt of mine used to have a dog called Topsy, I'm really not sure about it for a human.

Oh dear God no. Are you good at wememberwing?

I know an Asian lady with the name Topsira. It always makes me think of Topsy.

Omfg. Seriously?

As in topsy turvy?

If you google "Topsy in Uncle Tom's Cabin " and look at the images, most of them are horrifically racist stereotypes. And I'm pretty sure that's how the name originated.

No. It's not a girls name. It's a pets name, at best. Possibly a rabbit or Guinea Pig.

Why oh why do people think up these nonsensical 'names'?!

Would you like to be called Topsy!???? Bloody hell.

God no

It's ridiculously twee and affected.

Not a fan of it personally, but Tansy is another option that you might like instead?

Get a rabbit.

Find the topic you want, then click on the dark blue "Start new thread in this topic" at the top or bottom of the page.

Unless your surname is Blyton, it is a firm NO from me.

Don't be ridiulous!

It's a rabbit's name.

OP hasn't come back so maybe we should just leave the responses for now?

My friend had a cat called Topsy it is not a name for a child.

Its not that it’s a name from a popular children’s book series and tv show

It’s that that is the only time anyone has ever heard it

Don’t do it

Oh good Lord no.
