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

@eaglejulesk yes she did - perhaps you should read more closely rather than getting on your high horse.

'I’ll also ask just in case does anyone think the name posie is ridiculous? I’ve had a few comments that it’s silly and won’t work on an adult but I love it and tbh think it will fit in with all the unique and cutesy names people are giving their children these days! X'

Posie is cute for an under 7. However I think it would sound silly on a grown woman. It sounds like a diminutive that she has kept from her childhood.

@eaglejulesk

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.

Rtft @eaglejulesk

I'm not a fan of the name, but I don't like cutesy names like Millie, Tilly etc
I think it goes with Elizabeth though, and saying you can imagine an adult with the name is different to someone having a name and growing up with it, you get used to them having that name so you wouldn't think it was weird as a teen/ adult
At the end of the day, if you both like it that's all that matters

I'm not keen on Posie, but I think Rebecca makes a lovely middle name for it.

Op just coming back to say Posie Elizabeth is beautiful.
I like how Posie is an anagram of "Poise".

It's a lovely name with a lovely meaning.

I actually really like Posy; I think of Ballet Shoes, as someone upthread said. I do prefer the y ending as Posie feels more like a nickname to me, and also I think Posy would be easier for one to "wear" as an adult. Other than that minor quibble with spelling (and I appreciate OP has said she just prefers the ie version) I don't see what the problem with it is.

Posy Elizabeth is just lovely.

Sorry, I just keep thinking of ring a ring a roses, a pocket full of posies... 😔
Elizabeth and Harriet are beautiful names but obviously go for what you love

Oof, you've egg on your face here RTFT.

I like Posie, I think it’s sweet and cute for a little girl. However I would worry how it would sit with a teenager or a grown women. Personally I’d try to find a way to work it in as a nickname so she has options when she’s older. That said, you are right that she’ll be growing up in a generation of people who will become adults with cutesy names.

Posie Elizabeth is lovely, as is Posie Annabel.

It’s cute on a little girl but can you really imagine a 40 year old woman being taken seriously with a name like Posie? It also sounds too much like poser!

Posy much nicer then all the names you’ve mentioned. Also Elizabeth is great because it has so many variants - Liz, Lizzie, Beth, Betty, Betsy. Eliza, Elle.

George is nice for a girl or boy but posey elisabeth is a great name

Posie is beautiful, OP. And I can see it working perfectly as an adult name too.

I think it is lovely - vintage, uncommon, pretty but also has a sassy feel! She will be growing up surrounded by little girls named Evie, Lily, Rosie, Daisy, Poppy, Kitty, etc - sweet, feminine names are very in fashion at the moment and so I think it will sound fine on an adult! We will have Doctors called Rosie, Judges called Daisy, lawyers called Posie... It will be totally normal, and so it should be! I don't understand the Mumsnet insistence that in order to ensure that their child is successful in the future, a long, often clunky, and formal name needs to be chosen. I think Posie Elizabeth is amazing! I love it! I am a teacher with an _y name and the name has never done me any harm 😊

Posie Olivia

I couldn't agree more with @TabithaMeow all three of my daughter's have got cute pretty names and so have most of their class they don't stand out as odd at all (and they all have grandmother's names as middle names!)

I love Posie it's a lovely name. I'd rather be called Posie/Posy than Pauline or Petrova.
Love Hattie too it's my guinea pig's name!
Annabel is nice.
Elizabeth is nice.
I would have Posie Petunia but that's just me.

Sorry about the apostrophe on daughters grammar police x

Definitely Josephine with Posy as nickname.

Selfie?

I love the name Posie. Very pretty.

And as for the "it's not serious enough" I've never met someone and thought oh no, your name isn't serious enough. I wouldn't even think twice about someone's name 😶

Have you considered Posie Mae?

Lovely name choices OP. It's so hard to pick the one isn't it!

Posie Petunia? She is naming an actual person not a doll.

@EmpressJKRowlingSpartacus my thoughts exactly. I love Posie Parker and she's not cutesy in the least, she's also taken seriously as an adult.

I always find it odd that people think I name will mean they won't be taken seriously. They'll be taken seriously if they behave in a professional manner 🤷🏻‍♀️

I think Posie is lovely, and that Posie Elizabeth goes really well

I think Posy/Posie is absolutely fine for an adult but if you gave her a middle name like Elizabeth/Annabel, she could always use that instead if she wanted to when she got older.

I love Posie! It was on my list but my husband wasn't keen. Elizabeth goes nicely
