I think it's so sweet but would it suit an adult? Is it horrendous and am I delusional??

Flumps here too,sorry. (Even though I loved Ballet Shoes and read it when I was a child!)

Another one who would think Ballet Shoes
I like it, but would go the Josephine/Rosemary shortened to Posy route

And agree with scummymummy that Petrova is cool

Weak and feeble is what it says to me.

Horrendous on an adult.

Very pretty for a little girl but not sophisticated enough for a grown woman. What about Polly?

Posy is extremely nice. If you like it, do go for it. And if she does turn out to be a kick-ass lawyer, it will make her all the more fascinating. I don't hold with this "you can't call her x or she will never be taken seriously" hogwash. Furthermore, if she (for instance) a barrister she will only ever be known by her surname anyway.

I do not know why but it reminds me of 2Spavce Pirat" on cbeebies

Gorionine · 25/02/2009 11:05

"Space pirate", sorry

upper class name for the faux cute.

The Flumps, as someone has already said.
