May as middle name or all one name?

May as middle name

I completely changed my username Grin May as middle name

I rather like it. How does it go with your surname? Flows quite well.

Much too cutesy for my taste. Sorry.

Not a fan, sorry

It's fine, it's just so 'meh'.

She'll be one of many, many Poppy May's.

It's very generic...lots of them around

Fine. But very very common.

Not a fan, too cutesy and very common.

It's very "inoffensive", I guess.

What about Poppy Dorothea..."Smith"

Poppy Millicent? Poppy Margaret? Poppy Clementine? Poppy Juliet? Poppy Melissa?

Or maybe Penelope May? Peggy May?

I like May and I like Poppy. I'm not a fan of combining them, sorry. I feel like it's very unimaginative and quite boring...

Both names are really common, even together. If you insist on May as a middle name then go for something more distinctive as first name. Or Poppy something else.

Sweet name !

Like Poppy, May is just too generic as a middle name IMO, similarly Grace, Rose.
Poppy Elizabeth
Poppy Catherine
Poppy Jane etc all ok.

It's cute but not sure I'd want to be a 30 year old Poppy May.

Awful. No substance to it at all. A real 'follower of trends' name and not suited to anyone over the age of 3 harsh

I know several poppy mays. If that helps.

Poppy is a lovely name, and so is May, as a first name.
Unless May has a meaning, eg Grandma's name, I'd choose something different.
Poppy Charlotte
Poppy Caroline
Poppy Joanna

It's a bit...twee.

I think it's pretty. But then I tend to find a lot of current name choices awfully 'ugly' and/or pretentious. Partly, because many of them are names that were common amongst my parents and grandparents generation, so for me, they are old fashioned and conjure up images of elderly people rather than babies.

Agree with a lot of comments above. Objectively they're both fine. Together just dull, sorry. May as a first name would be a little more unusual. I like the idea of a long and fabulous middle name with it.

May Seraphina
May Violetta
May Charlotta
May Arabella

Or a less "cutesy" option with Poppy.

Poppy Eleanor
Poppy Matilda
Poppy Marianne
Poppy Lucinda
Poppy Rebecca
Poppy Catherine
