I love this name and just see it as another botanical beauty. So pretty and despite what others think or say, I think it ages just fine.

Don't like it at all, sounds too cutesy

I know about the little bunches of flowers and the rhyme with Rosie, but all I can think about is posing, pretending to be something you aren't.

It's nauseatingly cute. It would be most appropriate on a rich old lady's hideous, yapping, fluffy dog that she carries in her purse.

I don't like this name at all, but I think it'd be nice on a character!

I like the way this name sounds, but now it unfortunately makes me think of that Posie Parker person (which is a real shame since I love actress Parker Posey).

I think it’s fun and different as a nn for Josephine, Primrose, Rose or any flower name really. I wouldn’t hate it as a first name but it would certainly take the right person to wear it gracefully.

Very cute, I like it as a nickname for Primrose.

I only like Posy as a nickname for Josephine or Primrose.

It's adorable for a baby and a young girl but I think it sounds too cute and twee as a first name for a grown woman.

Many parents forget that we spend most of our lives as adults so instead of thinking "we're naming a baby" they should be thinking "we're naming a mature human being". A name has to stand the test of time and be appropriate for all ages.

Posy makes me think of flowers and springtime. It has a friendly, cheerful and optimistic vibe.

I love it. It’s a cute nickname for Mariposa too.

It's just so so so cutesy. I can't imagine someone past toddler age with this name. It's very Juvenile and doesn't age well. I do think you would make a cute name for a pet though. One of my neighbors had a cow named Posy when I was a little girl.

Sorry, I've always found this name to sound exceedingly childish / juvenile. Probably because of the rhyme: Ring around the rosy / Pocket full of posies...

One of the worst names ever.

It's so excessively and deliberately twee that it mocks itself, and seems suited to a loud and bit... I mean, forceful persona.
Kind of like Lolly and Dolly and Missy and Sissy and Fancy and Buffy.
Which is fun, in a way, but I think it makes a better pseud or character name, than a real name.

Just to be different, it always reminds me of the Dirty Dozen, one of the characters was called Posey.

I like it! I’d prefer it as a nickname, though, maybe for Polissena.

It's too cutesy for my taste, but would serve well as a childhood nickname or legal name of someone who happens to love flowers/nature.

Sickly sweet.

Not a fan, it’s very cutesy, slightly ridiculous on anyone over 10.
