Really struggling to find a name we like for our second little girl!
We have a long surname so prefer shorter names!
Any ideas?

@Heckythump1 for some reason, and I’ve no idea why, my head instantly pairs the name Poppy with names with a ‘lou’ sound in them... Luella, Lulu, Lula, Emmylou, Lucinda. Think it’s because Poppy sounds spunky and to me so do Lou names. Not so much the traditional ones though ie Louise Louisa as they’re too different stylistically. Other ideas - Sula, Cleo, Lois. Poppy is lovely x

If you want another plant name how about Rowan?

Sorry, I see you were thinking about "ie/y" endings.

Good luck with your decision!

I do love Daisy, but husband not so keen as he thinks of the naughty twins in Ben and Holly when he hears Poppy and Daisy together 😛 it's still on the list though!

Poppy and...

Elsie
Molly
Lily (depends if you want two flower names or not)
Emily
Nancy

Or what about something longer that can then be shortened to an -ie name? Like....

Isobel - Izzy
Matilda - Tilly
Olivia - Livvy

If you prefer the "cuter" and ie/y names I would say maybe:
Lucy/Lucie
Emilie/Emily
Gracie
Carrie
Edie (maybe Edith as full name)
Maggie
Ottilie
Darcie
Amelie
Elsie
Verity
Naomi
Charlotte with Lottie/Lotte as nickname
Eleanor with Elly/Ellie/Ella as a nickname
Madeline or similar with Maddy/Maddie as a nickname

Thanks guys, some fab suggestions, some we already have on the list as well!
We seem to prefer 'cuter' sounding names and names ending in -ie or -y but we aren't limiting ourselves to these!
