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?!

It's very common in Hampshire! My 5 year old is Poppy and every other child I meet at our local SureStart seems to be called Poppy!!(I wouldn't go for any Flower names if I were you!)
PS her nick names are Pops, Popsy and Popsicle

Is the most popular name at DDs school, must be about 5 of them.

i'm in London and have a Poppy. She was the only one in her primary school (now aged 11). Theres one more in the senior school she's going to.

at the lower end of the age scale there were none at ds's nursery.

having said that, it was around number 50 in the list when I named her, so there would be fewer of her age group than baby Poppys (as it is now much higher in the list I think).
