Finding it super tricky to think of a baby name! We already have a Poppy. I love Penelope but I worry Penny would be to close to Poppy…

I love Penelope, a beautiful name and there are SO many Maisies and Hollys. Not that there's anything wrong with that and they're popular for a reason, but a little Penelope would be so refreshing in comparison.

I love all these ❤️ I think Holly is my favourite followed by Maisie

Penelope and call her Nelly.

I feel like Poppy and Holly are quite similar too, maybe the plant theme and double letter-y ending?
maisie, meh, I can’t get past that mouse!
Poppy and Heidi
Poppy and Freya
Poppy and Maeve
Poppy and Clara
Poppy and Nina
Poppy and Nancy

They're ok. But don't particularly like any of the three very much

Definitely Penelope. We are awash with Maisies and Hollys

I love all three. I think you could get away with Penelope with Poppy, maybe you could use Nell for short?

My favourite is Holly.

The only one I like is Penelope but I agree that Penny is too close to Poppy.

Holly is my favourite of the three. Lovely name.
