Poppy

Betelgeyse · 29/04/2020 00:54

Lucy.

Hagisonthehill · 29/04/2020 00:45

Poppy is not a good name for an adult.
Lucy is better.

123Dancewithme · 29/04/2020 00:40

Both are really wet!

Lucy if I had to pick.

DramaAlpaca · 28/04/2020 20:55

Lucy by a very long way, just gorgeous.

Poppy is so cutesy and twee it makes my teeth itch. It sounds like an adjective describing a popping noise. I don't even think of the flower when I hear it, it's just a noise to me.

I have a 20 year old lucy who is lovely but I am biased! It was super popular 20 years ago and she has several friends with the same name. Nicknames over the years have been juicy lucy, lucy pucy, lucy locket and Luce

Lucy!

pinkpinecone · 28/04/2020 18:56

Both nice prefer Lucy

Snaga · 28/04/2020 18:09

I actually love both names unusual on here

I wanted DD2 to be Poppy, but my husband vetoed it. Lucy is a lovely name. Easy to pronounce but not overly common.

Lostvoiced · 28/04/2020 17:55

I'm a Lucy, so I'll admit I popped in to see what people think of my name. (Wet???!)

My lovely nan named me Lucy. She said that it was a name that was suitable for any age.

For what it's worth I think Poppy is super cute for a little girl, too. I prefer Lucy but I'm biased, obviously.

Lucy

Lucy

schnubbins · 28/04/2020 13:10

Lucy .It will suit her at any age , young or old .Poppy is only suitable for a child imo .

87Callista · 28/04/2020 13:06

Lucy! So underused and a timeless classic.

Whatsyourflava · 28/04/2020 12:40

Love both!! Let us know what you pick. 2 really lovely names

Hotpinkangel19 · 28/04/2020 12:37

Poppy, but my youngest daughter is Poppy Rose.

Peachbubble · 28/04/2020 12:29

Lucy, but Poppy a close second.

MikeUniformMike · 28/04/2020 12:17

Lucy but I like both.

Spied · 28/04/2020 11:57

Lucy. It will grow with her.
Poppy will forever be a little cutsie name.

plus3 · 28/04/2020 11:55

I had the same! (plus Clementine...) went with Lucy & would often call her my poppity poppet ...anyway not so much now she is nearly 15

Johnskymberlina · 28/04/2020 11:53

Both pretty but I would choose Lucy over Poppy. I quite like the spelling PP used Lucie, worked in childcare and teaching and never came across it spent like that. Makes it less popular

EveryLifeHasASoundtrack · 28/04/2020 11:53

Definitely Lucy.

BlueChampagne · 28/04/2020 11:51

Lucy for me too.
