How many "Poppy"s do you know?

I was just wondering, as I know it's become very popular over the past 10 years or so (I blame Jamie Oliver Smile).

So, if you've got too much time on your hands, and you don't mind sharing, tell me how many you know/have met.

Thanks!

I know two, and have come across two others (not too mention numerous cats, dogs and horses!)

I know one big girl Poppy and three little girl Poppys.

TinyTear · 15/08/2014 08:27

one born last october/november... yes, that predictable...

in my opinion it's more of a nickname than a name

About 15 years ago I got email telling me my cousin had just had a baby called Poppy and a letter from my friend saying her brother's girlfriend had had a baby called Poppy. I knew no one else with that name, and as they both lived in the same town investigated further. Yes it was the same baby. I still know no other Poppys.

One aged 5.

Never come across one before that

Pandora37 · 15/08/2014 08:29

I know three - two babies and the other is about ten.

I've don't know any Poppys, don't think I've ever met a Poppy.

2 in ds3s year at school , he is in year 7. I would say about one a year throughout the school.

I vaccinated four Poppy's in a row in baby clinic a couple of months ago. And I've seen a couple more since.

So quite popular here on the south coast. It's the new 'Lily' and 'Ella' I think.

Letthemtalk · 15/08/2014 08:36

Just one, black Labrador cross.

EauRouge · 15/08/2014 08:42

Poppy is no 7 in the newly-released government ONS tables of baby names. with almost 3,500 babies being given that name in England and Wales. It has climbed up the Top 100 table fairly quickly, rising 6 places since last year.
