Help[Opinions] Re: Posy
in reply to a message by araslanka
That's actually why the name isn't on my list. Other than being cutesy which I personally don't mind, I'd worry that maybe she would be very large and you just can't be large and be named Posy. It defies everything. Which, after saying that, makes me question myself and my perceptions of appearances and names. Hm.
I like the idea of Josephine as a full name for Posy and it's been on my list before. It just doesn't fit my tastes very well at the moment. Josephine keeps ending up in the middle since I can't think of an amazing middle name for it.
Thanks!

No, I agree. You just can't be large and be named Posy. It would be awful. You also couldn't be drippy, pessimistic and depressive.
I think most people have certain perceptions of appearance that go with names, tbh. I know that I do. Not for all names; an Elizabeth could be anyone. But names like Posy, Scarlet, Angel, Willow, Linnet, Sol... names like that, for me they only suit a certain kind of person and would be utterly awful on other kinds.
ETA: Middles for Josephine are difficult... and we were considering Josephine as a mn for one of our girls. I like both Josephine Grace and Josephine Rose, but I know lots of people object to those here.
I also love Josephine Autumn and (weirdly for me) Josephine Troy.
