Is Poppy really that common?

[Nearlyherenotlong]

Really like the name Poppy but is it really blah and boring/common?

I love it and it was on the list for my DD. I don't think it's especially common - I know two children (age 3 and 8) with this name.

No.

I don't know any Poppy's.

It depends where you live, I don’t know any Poppys of any age.

No, not particularly. It’s a lovely name too.

I know 3 Poppy’s. 2 in my ds’s class and one a few years older (15)
It’s a pretty name though!

Yes where I am. Nursery has 3

common at school where I am

It was the 13th most common girl’s name in 2016 according to the official stats, so yes, it is popular. Don’t let that bother you if you like it, though.

It's popular but one of my favourites.

I work in a school and we've only got one Poppy as far as I'm aware.
I really like it. My old rabbit was called Poppy and she was lovely!

I've only taught one in the last 5 years.

3 in dd's school

I know of one in my children’s school, Lacey/Lacie on the other hand there are multiple in every class along with Lola and Layla/Laila

Well the ONS baby names stats will show how popular it is in each year. A PP has highlighted that it’s popular.

It wouldn't be my choice as I think it's a bit 'meh'. There is a Poppy in DS's class at nursery which is small, but I don't know any others.
I honestly don't think anyone's opinion should put you off though. Someone told me they hated my choice for DD, but I still used it and I didn't care. I also strongly dislike their name choice, so I was kind of glad!

I know 5. It's definitely becoming more common.

not at all

It does seem to be quite common round here. There are two in 4yo DD's very small preschool class. We also know a 2yo Poppy and there are three teenage Poppy's at the secondary school where I work.

I know one. She's early twenties and a lovely young woman.

I’m a student children’s nurse, I’ve come across a lot of children in the last two years and I have never come across a child called Poppy - a lovely name

3 in my dd's class and I know a couple of others. I like it though.

I know a couple locally. I think it’s a beautiful name.

I know 4 and 2 of those are dogs!!

Like Daisy/ Millie/Honey I really don't think it translates into adult hood. Lightweight toddler name would be odd on a competent professional 40 something. Just my opinion tho.
