[Opinions] Re: Posy / Posie
I'd put Posy / Posie in the same category as Daisy, Poppy and Clover but not Marigold and Magnolia. The latter just 'seem' more sophisticated, more substantial to me. Maybe I'm slightly biased because they literally contain more letters...I don't know exactly.The actual word Posy / Posie is not appealing to me at all, sound-wise (cosy, nosy...). The look is weird too. The more I'm sitting here analysing it, the harder it is getting for me to see it as a name and I don't know what spelling to choose!I guess it comes down to, do you normally prefer names spelled with a -y or -ie ending? Do you prefer Milly or Millie? Lucy or Lucie? etc.If I am forced to pick one, I guess it would be Posie. It looks more name-y than Posy...I don't know. What about Posey?I'll end my rant of disgust now :)

Haha, thanks for your input! I already know that most people here hate it, but I think it’s a lovely botanical name. I personally prefer Posy, was just curious to see what others thought.

I was just thinking about Lucie with that spelling earlier today actually
