Poppy
or I know hyphens aren't everyones thing but How about Poppy-Grace

Poppy :) it's very pretty and Grace is quite common now

SuperstarDJ · 20/08/2018 17:56

Poppy. Though Grace would be nice as a middle name.

30hours · 20/08/2018 17:57

Can’t you think of anything less common?

megletthesecond · 20/08/2018 17:58

They're both lovely but quite over used now.

Heismyopendoor · 20/08/2018 18:00

Grace.

Joinourclub · 20/08/2018 18:01

Grace. The only one I know is in her 20s. I know lots of Poppy’s. Not that I actually think there is anything wrong in choosing a popular name!

ParkheadParadise · 20/08/2018 18:01

Grace

Notreadyforkidstogrowupyet · 20/08/2018 18:02

I love both but haven't met a poppy yet but lots of graces.

LittleMouseontheDairy · 20/08/2018 18:07

In my son’s class (year 2) there are two Grace’s and in the reception year coming up there’ll be three Poppy’s (that we know of!)
They are both lovely names.
I think Grace ‘grows’ with a girl more though- Poppy seems to me quite a young/ teenaged name.

Grace

Grace

Jollyholliday · 20/08/2018 18:09

Poppy is the nicest.
I find Grace very bland and overused!

Sophronia · 20/08/2018 18:13

Grace

Poppy

DollyDayScream · 20/08/2018 18:29

They are both a bit meh and overused now.

I suppose that Grace has a classic element, but Poppy will date.

daisypond · 20/08/2018 18:51

Grace.

Glumglowworm · 20/08/2018 19:30

Poppy

I used to love it, have gone slightly off it now but it’s still a lovely name

Greeneyedgeek83 · 20/08/2018 21:00

Grace. An adult poppy? No

formerbabe · 20/08/2018 21:19

Definitely Poppy. Grace is too popular now and very bland imo.

orangetriangle · 20/08/2018 21:19

Poppy-Grace is lovely

AnnieTheAlpaca · 20/08/2018 21:22

They’re both very popular and not my cup of tea. Just seem so boring. They’re likely to be one of many in their class.

Grace is better. A classic, traditional name and strong-sounding.

Poppy is awful. A really flimsy name. I know one who gets called Poopy.

pipilangstrumpf · 20/08/2018 21:35

I'm afraid I too find them quite and overused. Plus I find Poppy too cutesy.
