Poppy

What is everyone's opinions on this name?

@Dan1983 , surely others opinions are irrelevant if you love it though? I don't think anyone has a name that everybody loves.

^^ Good point.

It's a lovely name. It's quite popular at the moment so people will get used to it for any age as time goes on.

Hate it. It’s a very wet name.

Not keen, it’s very twee.

I know 5 Poppys but they’re all dogs

Sweet for a kid but can't imagine an adult poppy

Put the full version on the birth certificate, Poppeline.

I agree with a pp that it has glamorous/model like connotations for me- it is a cutesy name for a little girl but transitions well into a glamorous women's name. It's on our list for dd4 and I really like it, a lot of people seem to really dislike it though

It's alright. Bit cutesy. Doesn't exactly set me alight with excitement. It's very popular though, I know about 6 Poppy's under the age of 11!

Life, I agree but what if the person who had it grows up to be a real plain Jane looking more like a standard name like Charlotte? I’m not glam and think this name would be rediculous on me.

I think Poppy is a lovely name.

Kerplunk

Surely full version for bc should be Potpouri

Lovely name but there are alot of poppy's out there now, just had my baby and know 2 baby poppy's as well as all the older ones.

I was set on Poppy for our DD if she was a girl but DH vetoed last minute on the grounds that it wasn't a "name for an architect" but agree with PPs that it will become normal for adults as it's popular. Shame that it doesn't have a longer version else I could've snuck it through that way

The Poppy I know has siblings Sonny and Alfie.
Very infantile.

Poppy could easily be an architect

Some extremely posh friends of mine have a poppy and a rose.

I’m a 30 year old poppy and I’ve always loved my name! But there aren’t many of my age about.

That’s because if you call your daughter Poppy, Sophie, Evie or Millie they are caught in a permanent time freeze, unable to progress beyond the age of ten

It’s a flower name, it’s pretty and perfectly inoffensive. I can understand it not being to people’s taste - I’m not keen on Iris and I don’t know why as the flower is lovely but it just doesn’t sound as nice to my ears - but the comments about not being an architect are bonkers.
