Posy, Posey or Posie? Its not our favourite, just one on the list. Curious as to how it is best spelt.

I love this name. I think Posie is the nicest spelling.

ThatshallotBaby · 25/07/2024 20:07

I’d go for Posy. Like a posy of flowers.

Definitely not posy. It's the least "name looking".

Posy. It makes me think (in a good way) of Ballet Shoes, and it’s spelled Posy there.

Gloooooop · 25/07/2024 20:51

Posy. Thats how the name Posy is spelt 😁

ComealongMartha · 25/07/2024 20:52

I love the name Posy

BoleynMemories13 · 25/07/2024 20:53

Posy. The others look made up/typos.

That said, I do think it's best as a nickname for something more substantial/less cutesy, like Josephine. Not sure many grown adults would appreciate being called 'Posy' on their birth certificate.

AllProperTeaIsTheft · 25/07/2024 21:01

Posy. Posie second. Definitely not Posey.

ToplessWordle · 25/07/2024 21:02

Posy, as in the book Ballet Shoes. But like a PP said, to me it's more of a nickname for a young girl, and less suitable as a formal name for an adult. How about Paloma, Persephone or Petronella as your baby's given name, Posy for short?

stopringingme · 25/07/2024 21:04

Posy

Onelittlebluefish · 25/07/2024 21:05

Posy - like the Pip and Posy children’s books/TV series

Snugglemonkey · 25/07/2024 21:24

I would go Posie. Though I agree with pp that it is a better nickname for Josephine, Primrose, Roisin, Rosemary, Rosalind, Cosette, etc

salamithumbs · 25/07/2024 22:37

Posy, because of Ballet Shoes/Pip and Posey/ posy of flowers!
Think it would be nice as a nickname for Rosanna, Rosalie or something similar!

TinyYellow · 25/07/2024 22:40

Posie looks nicest.

Underlig · 25/07/2024 22:44

Definitely Posy. The others look silly.

Sorry obviously I meant Pip and Posy 🙄 I actually think Posey looks kind of like an adjective for someone who's posing... 'stop being so posey you poser'

Posy

Very pretty. Was high up my baby girl name list. The accent where I live absolutely butchers it though.

user1492757084 · 26/07/2024 12:01

There are two options..

Posy - flowers
Poesy - poetry

As a nick name you could use anything, including Posie.
Posey makes me think of a poser in a photo.
