[Opinions] Re: Posy / Posie
Posy has the same vibe as Poppy, but what makes Poppy more usable? Is it because Poppy is a flower while Posy is a bunch of flowers? But what's better a small bouquet (i.e Posy) or just Flower, Fleur or even Blossom? And what's wrong with Pansy. It's a flower, more like Violet. Yeah, there is that old-fashioned insulting term. Is it still relevant? If it is, well, it's understood why Pansy gets so much hate.
But let's return to our Posies... Everyone thinks that Posie is immature, same thing I've heard about Daisy and even Poppy. Personally, I like how Posie sounds, though I prefer Josephine, Josie. But honestly, I won't use any of these names (e.g. Daisy, Poppy, Pansy, Marigold, Magnolia), not because they are awful, but because there are always better options, without so many issues, IMO.

Thanks for your input. I love botanical names, so to me, they’re all equally as usable as each other and one isn’t more infantile than another, because I just don’t view them that way.
