If its taken dp a week to remember the dogs name, then its likely that no one else will remember at all!
Call your baby Poppy if you love it.
I think its a lovely name!

Do you still see his ex? Would she know and think: "A-ha, they've named their daughter in honour of my dog." Or is it just that you'd always think of her and her dog when looking at your dd?

oh no sorry he had a dog called Nell
not his ex!

CountessDracula · 13/05/2008 15:38

Oh I wasn't allowed Nell for the same reason

Shoot the damn dog and be done with it!

That is a daft reason for not using a name. Use it if you like it, what does his ex or her dog have to do with it?

I would still call your dd Poppy! What does it matter what the ex's dog is called?
