Help[Opinions] Re: Posy / Posie
in reply to a message by Pink Princess
I don't understand how it is sickly sweet or infantile. It's a normal English word name. It's in the same category as Lily and Ruby to me - sweet word names with good meanings and a lovely, sweet sound.
It will definitely suit an adult. Sound-wise it is not much different from Lily, Ruby, Lucy - even Mary.
I really like it as well. I would spell it Posy, like the word. Posie is odd to me. Posey is okay too, then it's not a word name to me anymore but more of a surname-name.
So Posy is better than Posie and Posey and Posey is better than Posie.
I don't really understand why so many people seem to have such a big problem with it, maybe they don't know it's a word name?
To me it is in the Ruby, Lily, Lucy, Mary category (sound-wise, style-wise only in the Lily and Ruby one).
I find it more mature sounding than Daisy and especially Poppy.

Posey isn't even an actual flower; it's more like naming a kid Bouquet or Tussie-Mussie or maybe Corsage.
It's definitely babyish. I don't know that it ever got much use, especially not on its own.
If I was at gunpoint and had to use it I'd spell it Poussey like the Orange is the New Black character. lol

I already knew you hated it, you are one of the most vocal on here with your disgust for the name! :) And I’m totally ok with that, it’s your opinion and that’s fine. Posy is a word name related to flowers, not the name of an actual flower obviously, but I like that. I like that it’s not directly related to just one type of flower. To each their own.

Posy (this is the spelling of the word) is a bunch of flowers. Yes, I know it's not a flower, it's an English vocabulary word that makes people think of flowers. It's, in my opinion, more like Blossom or Bloom or Petal which work as names.
That is your opinion and I respect it, but you need to respect other people's opinions as well. To me it's not babyish.

Don't tell me I "need to respect" other people's (meaning your) opinion. It's got nothing to do with respect. My opinion happens to be directly opposite yours, but that doesn't mean I "don't respect" you or your right to hold your opinion.

Yes and that is fine. But you replied to me, not the original poster.
So when I write "It's not babyish" it is my opinion directed to the OP who asked for opinions. And when you then just reply to me and write "It's definitely babyish" I feel like you are not accepting the fact that I don't find it babyish. If you had written it as a reply to the OP I wouldn't have had a problem with it but you wrote it as a reply to me as if you didn't respect what I wrote.

I thought I was replying to the OP. I hadn't read your post and still haven't. I don't know what happened to make it look like I replied to you, because I didn't.

Okay, then I understand, no problem.

Thanks! I adore Posy so much and would consider using it for a DD. I totally agree about it being along the same lines as other botanical and word names. I don’t find it too young and can absolutely picture it for a grown woman. At least someone else here seems to like it as much as I do :)
