DD is due today and DH and I have more or less settled on naming her Margaret Rose. (We'd call her Maggie.) I wanted a flower/spring type name in there and also my much-missed grandfather grew roses and they remind me of him. However, my mother hates Rose as it's her sister's name and they don't speak.
Anyway. If she's not born by Monday, I'm going in to have my water broken and move things along. Monday is our version of Remembrance Day and so...I've suddenly become obsessed with calling the baby Poppy. 
I would probably use it as a nickname for Penelope because I think it's a bit twee for a grownup.
I:m not extremely pro military or anything but I do appreciate the sacrifice and bravery of people who've died for something they believe in, and my rose growing grandfather was a veteran. Also here people use Memorial Day to honor other loved ones who have died. It's just starting to get nice out and people go to the cemeteries and plant new flowers, etc. It's sort of nice actually.
However. I think I am just caught up in the symbolism of the day...or am I? Hormones have rendered me incapable of rational thought. :o Sorry this is so long...thoughts?
Oh and I have thought of just using Margaret Poppy but I don't think they really flow. :(
