If it’s after the flower then the first spelling is correct. If you mean as in "posing", then the second.

No, it would be after the flower. Her big sister is Willow and I’m trying to find something to complement that. I am not wedded to Posey/y/ie, just thinking about it.

If I have a boy, not sure what to choose. I have a common last name that is also a first name. I’d like to try and find something at least some what unique (but not a made up or odd name) so that s/he won’t be one of thousands in this country with the same name.

POSY
GENDER: Feminine
USAGE: English
PRONOUNCED: PO-zee
Meaning & History: Diminutive of JOSEPHINE. It can also be inspired by the English word posy for a bunch of flowers.

theres no such flower as a Posey/Posy,a small bunch of flowers is called a Posy though.I would go with Posy,thats the correct spelling for the word.
