Blousie

[MerryMarigold]

Came across a child with this name recently. I've never heard of it, and I just thought it sounds like calling your child Skirtsie or Glovesie. But maybe it's a real name that I just haven't heard before. Maybe from another country? Mum seemed perfectly normal and called her Blouse for short! Anyone heard it before or can explain it to me? I absolutely promise I'm not on the wind up.

Do we?

Do you mean lousy?

Snurk😆

Lousy is a totally different word. To me a blousy woman is a unkempt, looks like a sack of rubbish, with morals to match. Not a very modern word though still a bad name

I've always thought blousey meant working class and a bit over dressed/over made up, but maybe that's because I also know it from Bugsy Malone?

I always loved the name because I really liked the Bugsy Malone character.

The meaning of the word when referring to clothing in my experience is different to PPs. I’ve always understood it to be referring to a garment that’s flouncy and fussy.

^Anybody who is anybody will soon walk through that door....at......Fat Sam's.....Grandslam! Speakeeeasy!

Goodness, haven't thought of Bugsy and Co for years, but it's all flooding back!

Love Bugsy, love Blousie...but as a name, no.

Unless it was twins, Bugsy and Blousie

Wow… the lengths some people go to to give their poor kids some bonkers name just because it’s ‘unique’ 🙄
