Posey, Posy, Posie

[rachelrainbow]

Our little girl is due in October! She'll be known as Posey/Posy/Posie Which spelling do you prefer?

This will be the shortened version of her full name, Primrose. Not to everyone's taste I know but it's a family name and I love it! Too late to change our mind now as we have personalised goodies already so please don't tell me if you hate it ;)

Posy. If you spell it Posie, everyone will get the spelling wrong. I personally prefer the ie version, but my DGC has the problem as the name ends in ie, but even nursery has written it with a y on everything.

Posie

Posy

Thanks so much everyone! Seems like Posy is the one most people like. Think it's my fave too :)

If short for Primrose then Posey.

Posy like the flowers

Posy

Posy

Posy or Posie.. cute name x

Definitely Posy!

Posy like Ballet Shoes or Posy Simmons

Posy. Such a lovely name.

Posy. I know a Posy whose real name is Flora. I love the name, but DH vetoed.

I have a Posy. It does get misspelled quite a lot though.

Posy, like a sweet bunch of flowers and Posy Fossil in Ballet Shoes.

Posie looks silly and Posey is just wrong.

Posy.

Posey looks as if she's posing all the time, and Posie is a bit too cutesy.

Never seen it spelt Posey or Posie. Looks weirdly adjectival. 'Posy' as in 'Ballet Shoes', every time. It's a gorgeous name and I wish I'd gone into bat for it more. Not to say I don't love my daughter's name, but 'Posy' is fab. Rare enough to be unusual, but not too 'outre'.

I think she’ll get Rosy Posy as an endearment when she’s little. I’d spell it Posy.

Posy is very sweet for a young child. Primrose is nice and it gives her the option to go by Rose or Rosie as she gets older.

none she will probably end up a prim haha love the full name hate shortened names

I think ‘sweet’ or ‘cute’ names are generally a bloody awful idea for anyone over 3, but nowadays I associate Posie with Posie Parker of www.standingforwomen.com/, aka Kellie-Jay Keen-Minshull, & she’s neither sweet nor cute. She’s a warrior.

Posy. Beautiful x

I think it's Posy, as in a small bunch of flowers. Very pretty name.

She may well go by Prim or Primmie when older.

I don't care for Primrose. I was never a huge fan, but since Shipman, it's been ineluctably associated (for me) to his wife. Who, as well as being in denial about his guilt, was a big woman. Lordy.
