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 Parker isn't anywhere near her actual name so seems a bit odd to me that people would be using that as a marker for the name... I'm not slating anyone for it or the name just find it a strange comparison

I see Postie when I read Posie.

I’ll also ask just incaseGrin does anyone think the name posie is rediculous? 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
Since you asked, I personally hate it, like so so much! But, I have noticed that lots of people like it so it’s definitely just seems to be a taste thing. I’d never try to put anyone I knew off the name in real life. And there’s plenty of names around nowadays that are more suited to small children than adults. But as they get older that will change as there will be loads of Gracie-May’s and whatnot around. I mean that in a good way!

Posy/Posie Elizabeth is lovely. It's good to have an unusual name. I didn't meet anyone with the same name as me until I was 16 and it was another 15 years before I met another. I have no problem being taken seriously in a professional role either.

I also know a man in his 50s called Albie. It suits him completely.

Posie Lu and Posie Jay are on a whole other level of dire suggestions 😄
Would you like to be called Posie, OP? Think about everyday interactions and having to introduce yourself as that, shout it across playgrounds, etc.

I know, her real name’s Kellie-Jay & she’s using that a lot more nowadays. She’s still the first person I associate the name Posie with though, & the reason I think of Posies as being hardcore instead of twee.
