I prefer Posie out of all the spellings, Posy just looks incomplete. Posy is an okay nickname for Josephine in my opinion, I think I like its meaning more as a bunch of flowers. Idk how Posy comes from Josephine, but hey, I know how they got Tetty from Elizabeth, so I think I can comprehend how soon.

I don't mind Posie too much, it looks very similar to the French word for "poetry" and that really tickles me. I prefer Posie as a nickname for Josephine.

LOVE Posy! A fave of mine. It doesn’t get much love here and so many people mention that it sounds infantile and won’t age well. I don’t see it that way at all and see it as another floral, botanical name and I love that. Posy is definitely my fave spelling too, makes the most sense to me.

Like a spoonful of splenda... supposed to be sweet, but it tastes so artificial. More like pesticide than sugar.
Reminds me also of "poser" - a drolly difficult question, or someone pretending to be something they are not.
Animal name, or childhood nick only ... I'd favor the spelling Posie, because it's not trying to be a twee word name.

People who say that the name meaning a bunch of flowers are immature might have a point here, yes.
Josephine (Josie NN) is a safer, more conventional option. Just one letter and such a difference.

This is a cute name for someone who is newborn to 4 but for anyone thereafter that age it sounds a bit juvenile. It is one of the classic "does not age well" names imo. Good for a pet though because it doesn't matter then.

I think it's rather sweet. I go back and forth on the spelling. No idea who Tyler Posey is.

I don't like either but definitely Posie.

And Posey reminds me of Tyler Posey and I saw a not-so-nice video of him once upon a time to say the least.
