Hi everyone, I have a 2 year old call Poppy and one week old little boy who we've been calling George all week. Love both names and thanks to everyone who posted on Baby George post. Just want some feedback on both names together - do you like it?
Thanks so much. I've very sleep deprived and doubting every decision at the mo! xx

Sounds like two kids in a children's story, really sweet. Will work when they're adults too, lovely choice.

Sounds lovely! I have an 8yo Poppy, so probably biased, but think the names go really well together.

Congratulations on your new arrival! Thanks

Congratulations! They sound and look lovely together, don't worry. Now go and have a nice nap with your baby Smile

Bit too much like Peppa and George to my ears, sorry. Not keen.

But if you like the names, don't listen to me. Congratulations and happy days to you Flowers

Really sound fab together congrats

As many, many people (including me) said on the baby George thread, they sound fab together. Why do you need more reassurance than that? Please enjoy your lovely children with lovely names and stop worrying about it. Have a glass of wine and relax!

They sound nice together. Poppy is not to my taste, but it's not my baby.

But stop asking for assurance! It's your choice and the subjective opinions a bunch of random, faceless strangers on the Internet doesn't matter. Besides, someone's as likely to say they don't like the names and/or the combo and what will you do then?! Change your mind? Hardly.

You're never going to get unanimous agreement on baby names, so as long as you like it, then make your peace with your decision. :)

I sort of love that it sounds a bit like Peppa and George. One of the only children's shows that doesn't make me want to remove my own ears. They sound lovely together, imo. Hormones can make you lose your mind a little bit over names (ahem- took 6 weeks to settle on my last baby's name), but you likely chose these because you loved them. Relax, sniff that fuzzy little baby head, and don't give it another thought. Thanks

No, Poppy is everywhere and it does sound all very Pepper Pig with George.

RobinSparkles · 13/08/2012 10:10

OP already has a 2 year old called Poppy, it's George that will be the new baby.

I like both of them together :)

Bimblepops · 13/08/2012 10:23

My brother and I are Poppy and George...we both love our names!

RubyGrace17 · 13/08/2012 12:13

Lovely names :) Congtratulations!
