Miranda has three syllables but I think it goes well with Poppy.

Then there's
Belle
Blythe
Brynne
Maeve
Wren
June/ Jane/ Jean
Jade
Faith
Hope
Joy
Faye
Ruth

Is there a reason that you need it to be a one syllable name?

I think with a name like Poppy (and I have a dd with a name with a similar feel ...) you need to have a strong, formal, 'grown up' middle name.

Poppy Alexandra
Poppy Elizabeth
Poppy Isabella
Poppy Annabel
Poppy Meredith
Poppy Margaret
Poppy Helena

One syllable name suggestions:

Poppy Hope
Poppy Joy
Poppy Kate
Poppy Grace
Poppy Claire
Poppy Niamh
Poppy Tess

I agree that Poppy sounds better with a longer muddle name

Poppy Elizabeth
Poppy Lucinda
Poppy Francesca
Poppy Eleanor
Poppy Genevieve
Poppy Evangeline

Although do like Poppy Joy

Wottknott · 15/11/2010 23:08

Agree with Plonker, either make it worthwhile or don't bother - 3 syllables at least. You don't have to have a middle name.
or
Poppy Dot

Friends DD is Poppy Caitlin, not sure as that goes perfectly but it does suit her! I do agree with the other ladies a formal middle name would be better! x

Why do you need a longer more formal name? When is anyone ever called their first and middle names together?

Fwiw I like Poppy Grace.

What is a full name for Poppy? If the answer is none, then you need a very primitive middle name. Otherwise, it would just look and sound way too bizzarrrre....

Bathsheba · 18/11/2010 09:29

My Poppy is Poppy Charlotte

We looked at Poppy Alice and Poppy Louise as well...

blametheparents · 18/11/2010 09:31

Poppy Charlotte
There you go, bext answer yet, end of discussion Grin
Wonder why I like it so much? Oh yes, our DD was called it for 48 hrs before we changed our mind about her first name! Shock
Still love it though, DH vetoed it!

blametheparents · 18/11/2010 09:32

Bathsheba Jinx! Spooky!
