Have you heard of Poppy as a nickname for Sophie?

We like the name Poppy but decided it probably suits a cute little girl but not really a grown up. Another name on our list is Sophie and the mumsnet name finder has a Poppy listed as a nickname which would be nice to have as an option.

I am not sure how you get to a Poppy from Sophie though. Has anyone heard it used before?

If I met someone whose initial was "S" and who used the name Poppy, I'd assume that it was the usual and longstanding nn for Shirley.

My dd is Poppy, and I know a grown up Poppy so it didn't seem too cutesy for us. Never heard of it as a nickname though
