About Posey
Posey is fashionable in England, a country of gardeners, but this pretty bouquet-of-flowers name is only starting to be heard here.
A possible alternative to Rosy or short form for Josephine. Posey (or Posy or Posie) could also work as a nickname for a range of other names, from Penelope to Sophia. Interestingly, Posie is the most popular spelling of the name, by a hair, with Posey second and Posy far behind.
Other P-beginning flower names you may want to consider along with Posey: Poppy, Petal, Primrose. Girl names that start with P are definitely cool again.
Posey is also given to boys.
Pronounced POH-zee.
As of October 2026, Posey ranked #3441 in US births in 2025 SSA, peaked at #3065 in 2022.
