Middle name for posie?

[Blondefirsttimemum]

Pretty much decided on Posie if baby is a girl but we are completely stuck for a middle name... does anyone have any suggestions? I quite like Posie Annabel but I’m not sure?! Thanks xx

Posie is a bit twee and cutesy, sorry. It's a bit better spelled Posy as in Ballet Shoes. I wouldn't want to be called Posy/Posie to be honest.
This.

It could be a nn for Primrose.

@Blondefirsttimemum people can be so rude 😂 as I said my MIL is called Posie (60 years old), everyone loves her name & she’s never not been taken seriously because that is her name. She is in a highly professional role. I just love the name, go with your heart! xx

You’ll saddle her to a lifetime of people saying, “Sorry, did you say Rosie? Oh... Posie?? Oh ok” and then wandering off looking confused.

Posie is not a very strong name. It sounds quite pathetic. I think girls should have strong names, not “pretty” names.

It’s also not a name is it?

Agreed with this, it's so wet and meek. I also agree with the person saying Posie might suit a slip of a girl but she's not guaranteed to be like that (which is why I also wouldn't go for Willow).

Primrose is just as bad imo.

Everley & Albie are lovely. Poppy is cute, I know an adult poppy though and she hates her name! Posy is sweet too.

Nice name. I also like peony

Everly makes me think of the Everly Brothers!
I think the Posy spelling ages better than Posie perhaps?

It's very cute as a nickname. It makes me think of Posy Simmonds the cartoonist (and Ballet Shoes). Posy Simmonds seems to be called Rosemary as her full name. I reckon it's good to have a "serious" name too.

I'm not keen on Primrose either.

Hattie - great, would be best as a nn for Harriet
Piper - don't like
indie - don't like,
Everly - dislike
Poppy - fine
Annabel - fine, but I prefer just Anna

I like it. Perfectly nice name. But definitely spell it Posy. Just choose another name you love for the middle name, not some random name that 'goes'. I like Faye, Tamsin, Sasha or Laura.

I really don’t like it, sorry.

It might be cute on a little girl but imagine a woman in her 40’s introducing herself as Posie.

The same goes with Albie- lovely while he’s under 10 but I just can’t imagine a middle aged man called Albie. All the early twenties Alfie’s I know have switched to Alf, presumably as it’s less cutesy.

I’d always put a more adult sounding version of the name on the birth certificate in case they decide they really don’t want to be Posie or Albie as an adult. Yes, there will be others around with similar names when they reach adulthood but it’s always good to have options rather than being given a nickname/short version in the first place.

Posy is a beautiful name. If you read raise you dd to be strong and confident, it really wouldn’t matter what you call her as she’ll be able to carry off any name.

If I meet someone with what I think of as a twee / cutesy name, the name stops feeling like that the more I get to know them - it just becomes their name.

But before the grey kicked in I always looked much younger than I was, & getting taken seriously used to be hard enough. Having a silly, childish cutesy name would have just made it harder!

I'm not keen, but I went to school with a Posy who was a more solidly built girl and she was nicknamed Posy Pudding which stuck for years 😬 each to their own though, the world would be boring if we all liked the same things!

Given you’ve asked for an opinion I’m another who finds Posie extremely twee, cutesy and a nickname rather than a proper name. Same with Albie I’m afraid. Annabel is nice.

I don't like Albie at all. If you do use it, at least give him a proper full name. George is nice.

Your baby will be an adult for most of his or her life.
Bear in mind that most people are known as Firstname Surname, so check that the combination works.

The OP has said she wants a middle name for Posie. Elizabeth OP would be amazing and your mum would be so happy I am sure :-)

IT glitch! Sorry

Sorry but straight away I thought of nosey Posie. Not helpful I know. However Elizabeth goes well with Posie.

Wasn't poise one of the flumps ? It definitely isn't my taste but you do you.

I like Posie, it's pretty. Please don't take any notice of negative comments on here OP, if you like Posie then use it.

Elizabeth would work well as a middle name.

Why don't people read the OP's question? She didn't ask for your opinions on the names chosen for her baby, simply for suggestions for a middle name to go with Posie! Who the hell do you think cares about your opinions? I sincerely hope some of you don't respond to a verbal question from family or friends with such judgey answers.

Posy is lovely but I'm less keen on Posie because I keep reading it as postie.

Posy Elizabeth works well as do many 3/4 syllable names e.g. Harriet, Imogen, Katherine, Isabel, Louisa, or single syllable names such as Kate, Jane, etc.
