Which spelling?

[babyno3xx]

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

This. ^ @babyno3xx PLEASE don't call your child POSY (or Posie or Posey!) Just no.......! 😬

Posie. But only as a nickname, it's too cutesy for a proper name.

It has to be Posy. Like in 'Ballet Shoes'. It's too cutesy for me, but as a diminutive of Josephine it's sweet.

It's a very twee name, and Posie just makes it even more twee. Posey is just plain wrong.

But the correct spelling for the name….unlike the others

Well, it’s more of a description than a name. However, with every other comment saying Posy, I’ll admit defeat.

Posy is the least terrible.

Poesy is pronounced differently, as is Poésie, and they're still twee.

I think Posy would be fine on an adult, but I think of Posy Simmonds.

Oh thank goodness. I genuinely read it as Poxy the first time. Sorry.

I'd still go Posy of the three because the others look made up.

Sorry but imagine calling your child Petronella. Sounds like the privately educated offspring of a Tory MP

Posy

As a stand-alone, I'd choose Posy. Posie is OK but really feels like a diminutive, eg for Josephine (Josie > Posie). I had the same feeling as a PP that Posey makes me think of posing.

Posy

Posy. Posie and Posey look illiterate.

I love Posie, like Rosie.

Primrose with Posie as a shortening is really pretty.

Definitely Posy.

I like the name because of Posy Fossil but find it a bit too twee and frilly when spelled Posie. Posey seems like a description of someone who likes posing to me.

But Posy...lovely name. I also adore Petrova

I like Posie

Posie

It's a terrible name but if you do use it, then at least spell the word correctly, which is Posy.

Posey looks like a spelling mistake.

I thought Posie was twee & frilly until Kellie-Jay Keen aka Posie Parker became well known & it now has very kickarse associations for me. Without that I’d still think twee & frilly.
