[name_f]Posey[/name_f]. I thinks it’s so lovely. Why is it so rarely used? I’m seriously considering using it. What do you all think?
I prefer the spelling [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. I think it’s lovely, and it reminds me of the Ballet Shoes children’s books.
I do think it is somewhat lacking in substance for a first name, but I don’t see how it’s any less meaningful than other nature names
I know a girl named [name_f]Posey[/name_f]! Cute name!
I really love it. [name_f]My[/name_f] personal preference would be to have it as a NN for a longer name, but I don’t think it would be bad to use it on it’s own either!
Very similiar to [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], etc. which seem fine as given names [name_f]IMO[/name_f] 
Very cute. Quite weirdly, there was a man in my town named [name_f]Posey[/name_f].
[name_f]Posey[/name_f], while not my style, is still lovely. I would rather it be a nickname for a longer name such as [name_f]Josephine[/name_f] however. Although as a PP mentioned, it does fit in with [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Lily[/name_f] and etc, and they are fine as full names in my opinion. (Probably because they’ve been used as full names more often.)
[name_f]My[/name_f] only concern is how well it would wear over time. It’s really adorable on a ten year old, but a thirty-five year old might want something more sophisticated on her doctorate degree. In the same family as [name_f]Rosie[/name_f], [name_f]Poppy[/name_f], [name_f]Minnie[/name_f], etc. But it’s up to you. Not my daughter, not my name, and if you love it - who am I to say?
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] [name_f]Posey[/name_f]! I think it’s absolutely adore and sweet. Especially as a nickname for [name_f]Primrose[/name_f].
You can use it. It is a sweet name, and no less substantive than [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] (or [name_f]Hayley[/name_f] ect).
I also really like this name, but I would probably use it as a nickname for [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] or maybe even [name_f]Penelope[/name_f]. It seems like more of a nickname to me.
To which she’d more than likely get teased with “[name_f]Pansy[/name_f]”… Sorry, that’s all I can think of and I’m a very nice person!! What would meanies think up??
I think [name_f]Posey[/name_f] is less popular because it contains the verb ‘pose’ which is superficial. That being said [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] has ‘pop’ and [name_f]Daisy[/name_f] has ‘daze’. Back in the day, I think those names were indeed nns for more ‘substantial’ names. Now that nns are being used as the full form, I think the mainstream is wary and only choosing names already out there used by celebrities and in pop culture. [name_m]Just[/name_m] wait, [name_f]Posey[/name_f] will have her day.
I [name_u]LOVE[/name_u] it - but prefer the spelling [name_f]Posy[/name_f] (Ballet shoes!!) or [name_f]Posie[/name_f]. Though I do agree with other posters that in real life it might be better as a nickname - so a grown woman could sound more ‘serious’ if she chose. But then - in 20 years time with lots of grown up Rosies and Daisys and Mias and Poppys maybe it won’t be such an issue…
I think it’s lovely but if I ever used [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/[name_f]Posey[/name_f]/[name_f]Posie[/name_f] it would be in the middle. I personally don’t like ‘ee’ ending names for girls because they feel like diminutives even if they aren’t. But I still like it and would love to see it on a little girl
I know a woman named [name_f]Pansy[/name_f]. ‘[name_f]Pansy[/name_f]’ is only an insult when directed at males. It’s a flower name so it’s no more insulting than calling a girl/women a lily or a violet.
I agree with pp, it’s sweet, but I only like it as a nn for [name_f]Josephine[/name_f].
I think it’s cute (maybe a little too cute), I like it as a nickname.
