How common is Poppy?

[MacMac123]

It's on my short short list for Dd1 and love it more and more. But I don't want a name that is everywhere.
I don't actually know any Poppy's and know a lot of kids through nursery preschool DS1's. But we are in central London primaries so not many English kids!! How common is it across rest of UK?!

I'm in the north west and know 4 pre school age poppies

I'm in the east midlands and know 2 pre school age poppy's.

Also, do any poppies you know that nicknames? Can't work out what it would get shortened to!
Pops? Popsy?

I was about to say that I knew one in north east London but then remembered that she's actually a Polly. I do know a slightly older one though.

i know at least three and one is a border collie.

I know two, they are sometimes shortened to Pops!

I only know of one Poppy, she's in my son's school and is lovely.
IMO its a great name x

I know two of primary age.

I think it's a fantastic name.

I've never come across one!

I know several - seems quite popular in Surrey.

My friend calls her poppy, popsy but I don't think its a serious nick name just baby talk.

i know 2. one is an adult and one is a teenager. don't know any little ones.

There are 2 poppies in ds class.

I know one Poppy, shes a teensy baby and gets 'lollipop'

But we are in central London primaries so not many English kids!!
Are they international students, OP?

I like Poppy, I don't know any (S.London).

northwest and know one Poppy nn Pops.

I have a Poppy! I'm in the north and know one other who is a teenager. Some people shorten my dd's name to Pops...I don't as I don't think it needs a nn and don't like it shortened.

No not international students at my dS pre school just the sort of mix you get where he is in minority and most don't have English as first language and no names like Ava, Sophie, Emily or the likes there!!!
Ok so am getting impression it's popular but not say as popular as Ava, Sophie, daisy etc! (all of which I also like!)

I know of one under 5. Lovely name BTW :)

I have one. Pops ,The
Popster,Poppadom,Popa-doodledoo,Popstar!
She is great. There was one other in her UK school. One here in NZ.
But, we ;lived in the NW of Uk...and I know it was quite popular about an hour from us!

If you really wanna know go to the office of national statistics website they list the top 100 names going back few years not sure how many but you won't be able to get this years so if there has been a sudden surge in popularity of the name this year (ie all the kids in your ones class at school eventually) you won't know anyway. Still its a good starting point. Plus the bounty site normally gives you a chart of how many in a 1000 kids in the uk are called by a name going back a couple of years or so. Hope this helps.

I have a Poppy and am in London. At school she is usually the only Poppy in the entire school! So not very common.

But if I had a pound for every person who told me they has a dog called Poppy I would be rich!

It's a lovely name...it gets lengthened and her sibs call her things like Popsicle or Poppelina. But mostly she is just Poppy.

Im in Norfolk and have a Poppy. She is lovely and get lots of complements on her name. Great choice!

I'm in Scotland and I have a Poppy. She is the only one in her school.

She is quite often Pops

I know three all between 11-13yrs old.
