Have you heard of Poppy as a nickname for Sophie?

We like the name Poppy but decided it probably suits a cute little girl but not really a grown up. Another name on our list is Sophie and the mumsnet name finder has a Poppy listed as a nickname which would be nice to have as an option.

I am not sure how you get to a Poppy from Sophie though. Has anyone heard it used before?

When we are going places, the boys ask whose roundabout we are going via :).

I don't see the connection. I would disagree that Poppy is too cutesy though. I know an adult Poppy and it's a popular name for the next generation so I there will be lots of Poppys Evies Millys etc that are doctors/lawyers when she grows up.

Haha at the roundabouts!

Thanks again for your thoughts everyone.

All this talk of Sophie and Poppy makes me think: Soppy Hmm
