Poppy or Jessie

[user1473602935]

I already have a Lily, but we can't decide between Poppy and Jessica (shortened to Jessie)

What would your choice be?

A lily AND a poppy might be a bit too flowery?

Jessie! It's beautiful.

My DD Lily was nearly a Jessie and we used it as one of her middle names.

Not Poppy
( unless born on November 11th )

Jessica nn Jessie is lovely.

I agree with a pp that two flower names might be a bit much, and I also find Poppy much too cutesy.

Lily and Jessie would be very nice together.

Jessie.

I like it more than Jessica.

I know a Jessie and she's just about the funniest person I think I've ever met, so good associations for me!

Poppy is fine too, but a Lily and a Poppy looks like it's a theme, and you couldn't really then go on to name a third (hypothetical) child Sarah, for example.

Jessie

Jessica (Jessie)
Poppy I can't warm to so much, it's nearly always shortened to pop or pops, which to me is the name of a person's grandfather.

I love the name Jessie, was on a list for my daughter but where i live there is a little boy who is a little bit difficult and constantly running off so his mum will scream Jessie and now it sends shivers down me lol if it wasn't for that then i would definitely have a Jessie but just as Jessie not Jessica

I think a Lily and Poppy would make it look like you are going for a flower theme and could make it difficult in the future if you have any more DC

Jessie by miles and miles for me. It's very nice.

Jessie is much nicer than Ploppy.

I prefer Jessica anyway, but since you have a daughter called Lily, it really HAS to be Jessie/Jessica. Lily and Poppy is just too much. Leave that kind of stuff to celebrities..

Jessica jess Jessie
Lovely

Jessie is gorgeous

Are you having a cat?

I cannot imagine eg prime minister poppy, or Dr Poppy

Jessica...Lily and Poppy is a little too floral and cutesy. Plus Jessica can be shortened to lots of lovely names - Jay, Jess, Jessy/Jessie....

Jessie.

I know about 9 babies named Poppy.

Poppy

I know sisters called lily and poppy. I think because they're such popular names it doesn't feel as overly matchey as if both were really unusual and on the same theme. They go together nicely

Jessica nn Jessie. I think it is a beautiful name and much less common in our area than Poppy.

I also know one dog and two cats called Poppy, so it will always be a pet name to me!

Buckingfrolicks - I work in the NHS. I know several Dr Poppy's, Dr Lily's, Dr Jessica's and Dr Rosie. They aren't all white middle class men called John
Why do you think having a name that identifies you as female means you can't have a high status job? Do you generally have a low opinion of women?
returns to point
OP - they are both lovely. Which goes better with your surname?

Jessica for me and then whatever natural shortening.

I love Jesse for a boy.

You can't imagine a prime minister Poppy because it's generally a little girls name in 2017, you probably can't imagine a PM Isla either for the same reason.
