Phoebe, Poppy or Holly?

[babysoon1]

Opinions gratefully received? only got 2 weeks or so left now! I know people think poppy suits baby more than adult, but surely that will change with the next generation as there are so many of them??

Phoebe

Holly

They are all a bit too popular at the moment for me.

How about Pippa, Heidi or Halle?

Adore Phoebe....shining moon xx

love them all- phoebe then holly then poppy, and u r right about these type of names wnt seem strange on an adult because there will be plenty of them!

Phoebe is awful, sorry, I think it is very harsh sounding and especially don't like Feebs. Poppy and Holly are ok, fit in well with today's cute names but not overly keen.

Holly

lovely name.

Phoebe. Beautiful and rich in meaning and history.

Not keen on Poppy or Holly, they're not bad but a bit dull. Prefer Holly to Poppy.

Have you thought about Polly? Similar to all your choices but not as over-used.

Otherwise, out of the three I like Phoebe best

Ooh, Polly is nice!

Then again I wonder if PutTheKettleOn is biased at all?

haha, v observant Lois, I do have a 2yo Polly and I think it's the best name ever and there should be more of them (though not too many!)

I like Holly the most out of the 3. I went to school with a Holly over 20 yrs ago, so hardly only a modern name.

see ladies, it is possible to answer the question without being rude and saying X name is horrible. I don't understand the obsession with not only answering the question but making sure that the replies are as hurtful as possible. I'm not called Holly or Phoebe but jeez.

Phoebe. Its our very close second choice name and will probably be DDs middle name.

Phoebe

I can't stand the other two. Holly is boring and Poppy sounds like someone letting off.

I was turned off this excessively 'pretty' name by a poor young teen named Poppy who was very unfortunate looking. I think there's so much pressure to be pretty with these hyper-feminine flower names.

Phoebe rocks.

I like all the names.

"Poppy sounds like someone letting off"

"I find Poppy to close to Poopy"

Some of you really have a creative mind

I like Holly best followed by Phoebe.

I think Holly is lovely, pretty without being too cutesy imo

I like Phoebe best. Poppy and Holly are nice too but Phoebe sounds like a stronger name for when she is an adult.

Phoebe all the way!!!!!!!!!!

I have a 7 week old Phoebe and get very positive reactions to the name. I love it and dont worry about nicknames. People will call her what you let them.

Holly

I know someone with a DD called Phoebe who will soon be having another DD to be called Holly. Think Poppy was considered as a choice as well.
