Re: Posy
in reply to a message by whim
No, I agree. You just can't be large and be named Posy. It would be awful. You also couldn't be drippy, pessimistic and depressive.
I think most people have certain perceptions of appearance that go with names, tbh. I know that I do. Not for all names; an Elizabeth could be anyone. But names like Posy, Scarlet, Angel, Willow, Linnet, Sol... names like that, for me they only suit a certain kind of person and would be utterly awful on other kinds.
ETA: Middles for Josephine are difficult... and we were considering Josephine as a mn for one of our girls. I like both Josephine Grace and Josephine Rose, but I know lots of people object to those here.
I also love Josephine Autumn and (weirdly for me) Josephine Troy.
