I only know this word as an insult so that's a no from me. If it weren't for that connotation I think it would be a good name.

Pansy is the daughter of Gilbert Osmond in The Portrait of a Lady. I personally don't like the name, but it's alright. Not my favorite flower name, I prefer Violet and Rose.

I adore this name. It's so delicate, rare, and delightfully feminine. But, no matter how pretty it is, that doesn't change the fact that it's feels so unusable. I'm all for unconventional choices, but you have to draw a line somewhere. Which is a shame, because I do love it so much.

I think this is really pretty and I'd never even heard of the slang term until I read the page on NB. I wouldn't use it IRL though.
