It's so cute and very pretty and much better than Pansy.

Sounds very cute, and softer and fresher than 'Pansy".

My name is Tansy (Tan-zee), and I absolutely love it! I've never met another person with my name, which I also love.
I will say that I struggled with it a bit as a younger child, but then I grew up during the 00's when more unusual names were less common than today. But now as a 26 y/o, I wouldn't change my name for the world. I get many, many compliments and positive comments about it.
I'll add that the Medieval connotations of the herb Tansy have never bothered me, and that I don't personally see it as a "cutesy" name - more interesting/different.

At a glance I assumed ‘tanacita’ meant something along the lines of “tenacity”, but looking into it, it actually stems from the Ancient Greek ‘athanasia’, meaning “immortality” or “undying”.

I love the name Tansy. It's beautiful and really cute! I'm often drawn to flowery nature names. Tansy is definitely one of the best girl names beginning with a 't'- (along with Therese and Tia). ;)

Tansy is a plant with many medicinal uses (a lot of which have now been discredited). It's well known for causing miscarriages in high doses, leading to its use as an abortifacient in the Middle Ages.

It's not as horrible as Pansy, but it sounds too much like it. The name sounds too girly anyway, and I can't picture it on a grown-up.

In Redwall, there's a hedgehog named Tansy. She's in Pearls of Lutra and The Long Patrol. In Pearls of Lutra, she has to find six pearls called the Pearls of Lutra as a ransom for the Abbot. Later she becomes the Abbess, and she is in this position during The Long Patrol. She made me like the name Tansy.
