I originally had [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/[name_f]Posie[/name_f] on my list solely as a nickname for [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]. But I just can’t get over [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f]'s connection to Twilight and feel it might be a bit to formal and flowery for my taste. (…and a posy is a bunch of flowers. Ironic, I know.)
And then I watched a movie where the couple named their daughter [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. Not [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] or [name_f]Josephine[/name_f]. [name_m]Just[/name_m] [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. It stuck with me as I wondered, “Is [name_f]Posy[/name_f] a ‘real’ name? Can it stand alone or is it just too nicknamey and cutesy?”
I love [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. I think it’s rather cutesy for a first name but I wouldn’t fault a person for using it. I think it is more exciting. Like a jazzed up combination of [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] and [name_f]Rosie[/name_f] both of which are used as first names.
I was just thinking about [name_f]Posy[/name_f] the other day, along with [name_f]Poppy[/name_f]. I think I’ve decided that they would be better as nicknames for [name_f]Penelope[/name_f], but then I think that if I’m going to call them by their nickname all the time, why not just make it their name?! Hmm… I’ll keep an eye on this thread and see what others say.
I love the name [name_f]Posy[/name_f]. Not long ago I met a little girl with that name, it was her given name, and it worked well on her. I think it would age just fine.
I love [name_f]Posy[/name_f]! I think it may well stand on its own especially if you don’t really intend on using the full name. It’s indeed very cutesy but there’s something classic about it which should make it work as she grows older as well.
I’m coming around to the idea of it being a standalone name though I think I’ll need a little bit more time to solidify. I think the main challenge I’m having is finding a middle name that doesn’t make the name sing-songy, if that makes any sense.
But let’s stay on topic. Ok to standalone, or should [name_f]Posy[/name_f] stay as a nickname?
I think that [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/[name_f]Posie[/name_f] is a cute name but will never grow with a girl and might sound odd on a girl who is in her thirties. Names like [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] sound good on girls even in their thirties. I wouldn’t be too weird about using [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] because of the twilight connection because soon people will forget twilight and [name_f]Rosalie[/name_f] wasn’t too major of a character in it.
I know a [name_f]Primrose[/name_f] nn [name_f]Posie[/name_f]. I’m not really a fan of [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/[name_f]Posie[/name_f] as a standalone name, but then again I’m not really a fan of other ‘cutesy’ names like [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] or [name_f]Lily[/name_f] either.
I love [name_f]Posy[/name_f]! I personally think the name can stand on it’s own. If you do think it’s too flowery, you could try [name_f]Poesy[/name_f], which is similar (po-eh-sy). I think they’re all great! Really cute and sweet.
I don’t see why [name_f]Posy[/name_f]/[name_f]Posie[/name_f] (my favourite spelling is [name_f]Posey[/name_f]), can’t stand on its own. [name_f]Poppy[/name_f] is quite a popular name, and nicknames as first names seem to be getting more common also.
