What do you think of this? I want to use it as it is, I don't like any of the longer names.

Sweet
The name of the youngest kid in the lovely 'Ballet Shoes'

gigglewitch · 30/09/2008 00:00

it's nice

MadBadandDangeroustoKnow · 30/09/2008 00:02

Lovely but the conventional spelling is Posy (like Posy Simmonds).

seeker · 30/09/2008 00:08

OK - but it's spelled Posy.

nappyaddict · 30/09/2008 02:33

don't like it personally, sorry.

if you do use it i think you should at least give her a another name which can be shortened to Posey so that she has options!!

cyteen · 30/09/2008 10:04

Apparently my gran wanted me to be called this. Thank god my parents saw sense.

largeginandtonic · 30/09/2008 10:07

Sweet but i have a friend with a Rosy and she is always called Rosy Posy.

MrsMattie · 30/09/2008 10:10

Horrific! She will be a grown woman one day, lumbered with a silly, silly name.

cyteen · 30/09/2008 10:13

I also feel the need to add that 'posy' instantly = 'poser' in my mind. It's a crap name in that respect, although obviously JMHO etc.

marmadukescarlet · 30/09/2008 10:17

I have a very nice chicken called posy.

quickdrawmcgraw · 30/09/2008 10:17

I love the sound of it. I think it will make a lovely name. Rosie is nicer for an adult. Posy sounds a little like a child's storybook name rather than Dr. Posy X or Posy X MD etc

cheesesarnie · 30/09/2008 10:18

nope

but if you like it use it.

tryingtoleave · 30/09/2008 12:22

I seem to remember that the nanny was not very impressed with Posy's name in Ballet Shoes.

EffiePerine · 30/09/2008 12:23

nice for a little girl, bleah for a grown woman

pigleto · 30/09/2008 12:39

wasn't there a flump called posy?

HensMum · 30/09/2008 12:40

Yuck. Sweet on a little girl, perhaps even over-sweet then, but can you imagine being a grown woman called Posey?!

BabyBaby123 · 30/09/2008 12:45

she would have to be a bit eccentric with a name like that - wear a straw hat and ride a bicycle carrying her organic vegetables in the basket

Dragonbutter · 30/09/2008 12:47

flump is nicer

EffiePerine · 30/09/2008 13:12

posie
