From Merriam
Webster dictionary:
"Definition of
PANSY1
a garden plant (
Viola wittrockiana) derived chiefly from the hybridization of the European Johnny-jump-up (
Viola tricolor) with other wild violets
2
a) usually disparaging : a weak or effeminate man or boy
b) usually disparaging : a male homosexual"
And from
Urban dictionary:
"A sissy, fag, fairy, or one that is generally unmanly."
So yeah,
Pansy is wimpy since that's it's meaning.
It's too bad, since I like the flowers and it would make a nice name.
I also love
Poppy and maybe since I've met a few don't find it a bad name (they were all British). And there's an American actress
Poppy Montgomery whom I love.
